Rhetorical Analysis Of Joey Salatin

Improved Essays
Joey Salatin, an agrarian based farmer, argues that the industrial agricultural system is dishonourable because they are more caught up in trying to mass produce for money rather than caring for the quality and treatment of the animals that are being killed for consumption. The rhetorical appeal that Salatin uses to support his claim is logos. He utilizes logos by stating that his farm's products are just as adequate as the industry's despite the negative claims against open range farming. Because open range farming's sanity is proven to be comparable to factories, it is illogical for administrations to rule out one method of production over the other. Salatin also presents the idea that the agricultural industry feeds their animals with foods

    Bill Perry is terrified but the millennials aren't. Perry explains how millennials, mentioned to be the largest upcoming population, are “blissfully unaware” of a nuclear war that can possibly come our way. First of all, I think that millennials are unaware about the situation because it's brought up in a context of history. For example, we learned about the nuclear bombing in Hiroshima and can't believe a catastrophic event such as that would happen again. But as Perry directs his position, history repeats itself and with a greater effect, “Today, the danger of some sort of a nuclear catastrophe is greater than it was during the Cold War.”…

    His cartoon raises the point that low cost reflects the low quality of chemically altered food. The same principle can be applied to the growing meat industry, specifically speaking, CAFOs. These “factory farms (76)” force animals to eat a diet of “corn, protein, and fat supplements, and an arsenal of new drugs.(71)” Without antibiotics, animals living inside CAFOs would not be able to survive the living conditions and diet. Even though it is the cheaper food offered year-round, it is being unethically brought about.…

    Logos is important since it appeals to the audience’s intellect. Facts and evidence are both presented in order to create an overall strong argument. Berry provides facts frequently throughout his essay such as in the quote stated in the prior paragraph when he discusses consumers’ knowledge regarding the lives of the animals responsible for the meat they are eating. Berry states that it would not do any good for a consumer to know that the steer one’s hamburger came from spent its life standing in its own excrement or that the calf that yielded the veal cutlet one’s eating spent its life in a box (3). Although not every animal is treated in unfavorable conditions, it is common knowledge that the majority of animals aren’t treated pristinely before being killed for their meat.…

    Eating animals has been a regular meal for humans for many centuries, but it has also been opposed by veganists for many years. Although consuming animals has been opposed by vegan aficionados, it has also been a source of controversy because of how factory farming produces the meat we eat in our daily meals. In the book “Eating Animals” we get the sense that the author will be arguing and encouraging veganism, but instead he argues about how the meat we consume is produced. The author Jonathan Safran Foer’s main claim in the book is about boycotting animal factory farming and encouraging traditional husbandry because factory farm animals are stuffed with antibiotics, mutilated, tightly confined, and deprived of stimulation. While traditional…

    In each of the “red meat” categories, factory farms produce over ninety percent of the aliments put onto American tables. Recently, a large anti-agriculture organization by the name of PETA, has been rallying against factory and industrial farming by holding rallies, writing emotional articles, and through academic journaling in attempt to put an end to what they see as outrageous cruelty to animals that are domesticated in factory farms.

In Hsiao’s piece he utilizes multiple rhetorical…
