The article “When the Government Take the Violence of Hunting with Hounds."
discusses the brutality and events due to fox hunting in the Uk. The people of the UK are
pressing the government to enforce the fox hunting law with more force and effort.
I plan to use this article as an example of how people take advantage of the lackluster
outside humans.
Bachmann, Helena. "In a World First, Switzerland Deems it Illegal to Boil a Lobster." USA
The article "In a World First, Switzerland Deems it Illegal to Boil a Lobster" talks about
law that went into effect March 1, 2018. The law banned the cooking method of tossing
live lobsters into a pot boiling water. This practice is being outlawed by Switzerland as
they have stated the “it's cruel and lobsters can sense pain.”.
This news article is a perfect way to show how steps are being put in place to change the
way we view animals. The fact that this is an actual law that is being placed shows real
impact. Within this article they also talk about other laws they have in place as well as
The article "The Art of Destroying an Artwork." discusses the controversy involving the

Dale, Christopher. "Animals Deserve Protection from Abuse." TCA News Service, 17 Apr,
2018.
The article "Animals Deserve Protection from Abuse." discusses how the state to state
laws are too lax inflicting punishment for animal cruelty. They talk about a number of
cases where offenders got a mere slap on the wrist for such a crime.
I will use this article to complement another article where it discusses law enforcement.
This article points out a weakness in the punishment of committing animal cruelty. Using
this will help me prove lackluster attitude the law enforcement system has towards
animal rights.

McCartney, Scott. "On Your Next Trip, Leave the Pets at Home." Wall Street Journal, 21 Mar,
"On Your Next Trip, Leave the Pets at Home." is about the unsafe pet travel in the United
Airlines. It basically says that dozens of pets are killed or injured during plane travel.
Because they are labeled “cargo” there aren’t any precautions taken place in order to keep
them safe.
This article exposes United Airlines’ ignorance toward animal safety which shows how
Michaels, Jim. "How Cuddly Olympics Mascot Became Controversial." USA TODAY, 19 Feb,
The article "How Cuddly Olympics Mascot Became Controversial." helps show how it's
possible to protect the animals. In the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics Korea's mascot
has caused a lot of controversy similar to the dog meat trade. The mascot is a black bear
which can also be called moon bears and about 1,000 of this species are being kept on
bear farms. The bears are usually kept to about age 10 where they are then killed for their
Nuwer, Rachel. "Elephants as Trophies? an Endless Debate." New York Times, 05 Dec, 2017
The article “ Elephants as Trophies? an Endless Debate?” talks about the about the debate
on whether or not revenue from big game hunting should be used to protect endangered
species.
I plan to use this article to show both sides of the issue. In the article there are some
arguments that both parties commonly use against each other. The article can strengthen
my paper being that it leans more on the pro animal rights side of the argument. It’s also
good because it also states opinions and viewpoints from the opposing side.
Pynn, Larry. "Province Puts Ban on Hunting Grizzly Bears.", 19 Dec, 2017, pp. A.3,

of legal hunting grizzly bears for trophy and food with the exception of first nations that,

Rogers, Martin. "Winter Olympics Shine Light on Korean Dog Meat Trade." USA TODAY, 07
The news article “Winter Olympics Shine Light on Korean Dog Meat Trade” discusses
the dog and cat meat trade going on in Korea. This year Korea is hosting the 2018 Winter
Olympics and many plan to use the spotlight around the event to create awareness for cat
and dog meat being eaten in korea. For foreigners this is seen as horrible but in Korea it’s
apart of their culture although for the Olympics the Korean government is encouraging
restaurants to hide menus and stop serving meals containing dog or cat meat.
I will use this particular article as an example showing that animal rights is a real issue
that is taken seriously. If people are planning to use a stage as big as the Winter
Olympics, then it means that this is an important matter and gives you a good estimate of
how many people are against the mistreatment of animals. This article will help me
Samuel, Henry. "Norway Sparks Outcry by Raising Whaling Quota." Telegraph.co.uk., 07 Mar,
The article “ Norway Sparks Outcry by Raising Whaling Quota” discusses Norway’s reasoning
Johnson 7
for rising the whaling quota. Because Of their announcement many other countries and animal
rights activists are trying to convince them not to raise the quota 28%.
I plan to use this article as a gateway to bring up the horrendous methods of hunting whales.
Doing this will show why whale hunting should not exist. The inhumane practices of whale
hunting will paint a vivid picture of the terrible acts done by mankind to these beautiful.
Schuetze, Christopher F. "Law and Order: Dutch Animal Welfare Unit." New York Times, 30
The article "Law and Order: Dutch Animal Welfare Unit." discusses the story about a member
of the animal police force after he rescued a puppy from freezing to death from a snowstorm on a
terrace. Sergeant Smit is a 39-year veteran of the national police force and a full time member of
the animal force in the Netherlands. The officer rescued the dog from the terrace with a 22-ton
fire truck with a crane and platform. The entire rescue added up to 500 euros which is about 620
dollars. When the owner had returned he was charge 150 euros for animal neglect.
This article gives an example of how animal rights are being enforced in other countries. The
story of the Netherland police officer is a strongly supports my topic. It shows how important
animal neglect is. By using this article it emphasizes the enforcement part of the animal rights
protest.
