Why Was Peta Ineffective

Decent Essays
The PETA ad was ineffective because becasue people are going to see the bolded words and be really surprised but then they are going to read the rest and have a different reaction.the bolded words say "Child Abuse" and that catches people attention because its something very horrifying. After you continue reading the headline was a bit of an exaggeration. The fine print around the ad says "fight the fat: Go vegan." This shows that people who are advertising are vegans or support vegans.they care a lot of children so that was their headline.

    The ad mainly targets the average consumer as the AACT attempts to establish guilt when asking for support. The ad effectively achieves such goal as the text “This won’t hurt a bit,” is placed in contrast to the depiction of the woman who had been subjected to harmful tests. In addition the placement of diction also assists the appeal of pathos as the AACT indirectly categorizes both humans and other mammals as “animals” in the text “Stop Animal Testing,” found directly under the woman’s swollen face. This categorization reminds humans that they are animals too, and if humans should not be subjected to unforgiving tests, then neither should…

    Advertisements can be found all over the city no matter where you look. They can be presented by television commercials, print ads on billboards, Internet websites, and even the radio. The reasoning behind these ads is to persuade and argue why their product is more important than others. Sometimes these arguments can be used to persuade certain ideas that people think are right or wrong, and cause an argument socially, politically, or even religiously. Imagine this, it’s 1 a.m. and rearing to the end of the night with you and your friends.…

    Logical fallacies are prominent in modern American culture; one place such fallacies are found, and more often than not, overlooked is in print ads. We see these advertisements in our day-to-day lives and allow them to influence our decisions but if we take a deeper look we may be dissatisfied with the underground message being conveyed, amongst other things. This advertisement centered on Alicia Silverstone provides us with a great example of logical fallacies found in modern advertising and how awful they truly can be. Silverstone is advocating for PETA in this advertisement, which is a corporation that strives for ethical treatment of animals. This company is using her to undermine people’s opinions of vegetarians as a whole and push us…

    Charles Darwin was the first person to suggest that animals may be useful for further understanding the biology of human beings when he created his Theory of Evolution in the 1800s. This theory eventually led to Louis Pasteur testing on a sheep in the late 19th century which was the first major test to be conducted on an animal (Murnaghan, Ian Animal Testing Timeline). Pasteur administered an anthrax vaccine to the sheep to test his germ theory, which showed the importance of vaccines to combat bacteria within humans. This test led scientists to further the creation of vaccines to help combat diseases (Wellcome). Based on data collected in 2005, about 115.3 million animals are used in experiments annually around the world (How).…

    While PETA should be working for the liberation of oppressed populations, looking at its marketing strategies demonstrates that the organization actually perpetuates patriarchal ideals through the objectification of women. Just as PETA goes after Sea World, they also have made it a point to criticize circuses. A recent advertisement criticized the torture of animals at circuses, which is a completely valid critique, however, the ad features Meggan Anderson wearing nothing but high heels, holding a stuffed elephant over her butt and it reads, “Let her entertain you, not the elephants” (Ballard). The message that this ad promotes is that rather than observing and objectifying animals for entertainment, a person should instead watch and objectify women. This again, makes the…

As years pass, the commercials must change with the times, trying to be as funny and appealing to as many as possible. In an effort to be remembered, many companies have created some very controversial commercials which may not be appropriate for younger viewers.

    Both advertisements use direct, commanding slogans such as ‘stop animal cruelty’ (Slom, 2016) and ‘stop buying animal tested products’ (Wai, 2016) to directly address the audience, telling them exactly what to do (e.g, to stop buying products that test on animals) in order to take the most direct action against the chosen issue of the advertisements. However, only advertisement #2 utilises an open-ended rhetorical question in the slogan, ‘does your shampoo contain a hurting animal?’ (Wai, 2016), which reflects upon the viewer, consequently urging them to think of their own impact upon the issue. Additionally, both advertisements use large, bolded capital block font in order to draw attention to the slogans, which point out, as stated above, the actions the audience should take about the issue.…

    One of the most overlooked and disregarded issues in America today is the unfair treatment of animals used for production. The manufacturing of animals for food and clothing has grown significantly in the last fifty years. In fact, according to the humane society, the production of all meats has almost quadrupled since 1960. The meat that is currently being sold in the big league grocery stores do not come from quaint, red barns in the country. Instead, the meat that is currently being produced comes from crammed, dirty, and abusive slaughter houses.…
