__ Animal cruelty __ My social issue that I am researching on is the cruelty of animals. “Dogs that people raise to fight are chained, taunted, and starved to trigger extreme survival instincts and encourage aggressiveness. Dogs that lose fights (or refuse) are often abandoned, tortured, set on fire, electrocuted, shot, drowned, or beaten to death. “From when animals were able to be adopted till now, they have been beaten abused and tortured, and just hurt in many ways, they have scars from their dreadful owners and bruises from them too. Even mammals are beaten when they are a show animal, if they don’t do something right they could be shocked.

A tentative solution to this problem is to create a video showing abused animals and how they are treated by their owner. There are a lot of different homes with different rules for their pets. A solution that could solve the problem of animals getting abused is if you see an animal wondering around your own neighborhood, and you are able to see its boney ribs through its own fur then grab it and bring it to your home, or to an animal hospital for example the ASPCA or the MSPCA.

My purpose for writing this paper is to show that no animal deserves to be beaten or hurt in any way. When people say they want to help them they don’t ever take action. There are many different websites that talk about all the innocent animals who have died and the ones who have gotten sick from being left out in the cold.

Alicia, I know you said you are not done yet, but you need to finish this so you are keeping up for the next parts, but it is good that you did get started here. The first paragraph should be in your own words. You should be exploring your own ideas and prior knowledge here. Are you planning to focus on dogs, specifically fighting dogs like pit bulls? If so, that is a clear and specific topic. If you decide to make a video, do you have access to abused dogs to film? For purpose, do you want to persuade people that they should take action instead of doing nothing?

Your research action plan and annotated bibiography entries (1st three) are missing. Have you started collecting sources? Taking notes? --Ms. D
