What’s  in  it  for  your  audience?  Explain  why  your  topic  is  important  or  worth  discussing.  Many  horse  owners  can  not  step  passed  the  emo)onal  side  of  slaughter.  This  in  turn  leads  them  to  holding  on  to  an  animal  they  can  not  afford  to  feed.  These  animals  then  suffer  from  starva)on  and  neglect  for  months  un)l  they  either  pass  or  are  hopefully  rescued.  However,  rescues  are  filling  to  max  capacity  quickly  due  to  over-­‐popula)on.      Nevada,  BLM  (2013,  August  22).  Horse  [Photograph].  Retrieved  from  h&ps://www.flickr.com/photos/blmnevada/9674406872

Why  should  your  audience  listen  to  you?  Explain  your  ethos  (credibility).  My  audience  should  listen  to  me  and  find  me  credible  because  I  have  worked  in  the  equine  industry  for  13  years  and  seen  first-­‐hand  how  terrible  neglect  is.  I  have  worked  with  many  equine  rescues  and  rehabilitated  horses  from  the  brink  of  death.  I  have  also  personally  know  people  who  have  lost  jobs  and  not  been  able  to  care  for  their  horses.  These  horses  then  suffered  for  months  and  eventually  died  from  neglect  or  starva)on  because  all  the  rescues  in  the  area  were  full.      Jachens,  M  (2012,  April  1).  Kolo  [Photograph].  Retrieved  from  my  personal  photographs.
