Talking about my pet dog, Jacky, remind me of an article I read from Miller's Third Edition, "Motives for Writing," title, "What's Wrong With Animal Rights," by Vicki Hearne. In her article, Hearne shares many memorable relationships with her pet dogs as examples to support her argument that "the problem with the animal-rights advocates is not that they take it too far; it's that they've got it all wrong (Miller, 362)." As an animal trainer, Hearne recognizes "work is the foundation of happiness" that the "trainer and the animal discover together". She further argues that those who speak for animal rights to ban the idea of anyone owning pet are less likely "to be in a rights relation to any given animal." She also points out that animal lives longer when they are with people than they are in the wild. I agree with Hearne that anim

I disagree with Hearne when he says, "It is true that it hurts [for animal] to be slaughtered by man, but it doesn't hurt nearly as much as some of the cunningly cruel arrangements meted out by 'Mother Nature.' First of all, I want to say that no one alive on this planet can control or alter "Mother Nature." When you know that an animal is in agonized pain caused by man, wouldn't you try to do something to help the animal? If it was I, I would, because I know it is possible. However, when an animal that is killed cause by "Mother Nature," we can only face the fact that it is an unaltered course of the circle of life. We might express our empathy for he animal, but since we know that it is part of "Mother Nature" we will eventually forget it. On the other hand, animals that are in agonized pain cause by man will have our empathy for them as well as our anger against that man.

Hearne blames the Humane Society of the United States for the recent claim that pit bulls are crazy, because the Humane Society published early in 1987 that pit bulls would 'take hold with their front teeth while they chew away with their rear teeth.' I support the Humane Society for publishing that message, even though it is a little over exaggerated, and I'm against Hearne for blaming the Humane Society. I support the Humane Society for such message, because I have seen on the News the past few months about many cases of pit bulls viciously attacking women and children. I want people to know this, so they can be more careful handling pit bulls. I am also against Hearne for using a logical fallacy, "post hoc, ergo propter hoc," to conclude that the Humane Society of United States is responsible for the recent propaganda against pit bulls because they published a literature about such remark. Blaming solely on an organization about a problem that entirely involved in a multi party system and other less relevant factors, is un-doubtful an oversight for a less effective argumentation.
