The Big Idea: While slaughter is not the ideal situa)on for any animal, it is a preferable alterna)ve to neglect and starva)on. Hutchinson, K. (2004, July 24). Horse [Photograph]. Retrieved from h&ps://www.flickr.com/photos/hutchike/2442540

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].
