An Example of Bad Website

I found a website that may be considered not good. 
Here: Game of Thrones

The website has a strong opinion toward fur products but I thought they are too much because they mentioned directly the name of certain organization and said bad toward that organization.

The website has contact page for us to reach for more information, but we cannot know whether the information they provide is true or not, since they give us more emotional one, than that based on certain truth. We cannot know about the author or publisher, and I think reliability of websites is important for us, so in terms of reliability, the website won't be said to be really a good one.

Good Website about animal furs

Hello! I found a good website about animal furs which is " Vegan Peace".

www.veganpeace.com/

Author:
Wanda Embar who is a vegan in Netherland set up this website in order to appeal that we should protect animal's right.She studied mathematics at the iniversity of Leiden. She recommend people to become vegan because being vgan can protect the lives of animals.

Publisher:
 This website is sponsoring the author's page. Their mission is to abolishanimal industry that abuses and exploits animals. If you click " Contact me", you can get in touch with Wanda Embar.
 

Objectivity:
Of course, author's perspective is to save animal's right. In the page of "Fur", she show the reality of animals in fur farms with cruel pictures. We can understand how animals are skinned alive. She only show the actuality, so there is no exxageration.

Links from:
There are many links about animal right, for example, animal right blog, vegan recipes, etc...
These link support author's idea that we should not kill animals for our lives and they worked.

Date: I could not find the date of publication. Date the docment has reliability because in the webpage, recent things are written.

Accuracy:
The facts are correct and verified because the same things about suffering animals are written in the site of PETA which is the organization to protect animal's right.
Author's conclusion follows the fact that many animals are suffering from exploit.
There is no spelling miss.

Evidence:
In the page og "Fur", there are some links about furs and they support the author's opinion that we should not kill animals for furs or food. We can feedback the author about " Vegan Peace" at the pabge of "Contact me".

Links to:
There are many different site about animal's right.
They are reliable because all sites have information about publisher of the websites.
Those links have the same perspective to author.

Evaluation to a web page

I found a web site "Against Fur Zombies "

Author:  There is noinformation about the author, but he/she says that "I like my animal friends alive"

Publisher:  No information about it

Objectivity:  The author of this web site present a limited perspective on the topic. It seems that the author argue this topic more emotionally than rationally, but  there is no extreme or exaggerated language.

Links From:  There is no links to other web sites.

Date:  No information of a date of publication of this web site.

Accuracy:  It is not sure that the facts in the web page are correct because there is no supporting evidences or other web sites, and it seems this web site is managed by an individial, not by an organization.

Evidence:  The author of this web site does not use other web pages as a evidence to support his/her claims. There is no way to contact the author or publisher.

Links To:  There is no web sites link to this web page.


According to the information above, it is hard to say this web site is good. There are few information about the purpose of this web site, who is the author and so on...

Also, there is no other supporting web sites to this web site. So, it is difficult to use  it as an evidence of showing the present situation of animal furs. Moreover, there is no pictures, as well. The readers of the web site would not feel a seriousness of this problem.

Therefore, it is hard to say that this site is a good one.

An Example of Good Website

I found a website that  is good for getting information about our issue, animal rights.
Here: PETA's official site



First, the mission of this organization is very clear , that is, to campaign to establish a society where the rights of individual animals to be respected. It provides us opinions and information about animal rights from many perspectives such as: animals for eating, for clothing, for experimentation, and for entertainment. They are trying to appeal more on our emotions by using pictures and videos of animals.

Importantly, this site is very reliable I think because they show us concrete numbers or data about issues related with animals, without exaggerating. Also, I could find many other sources that provide same information as this website, and considering the fact that this organization is official, the information it provides should be accurate.

It has both email address and phone number for us to report the cruelty of animals, or to get more information about the organization. They even provide us a section that we can look through frequent-asked questions and answers for them.

From these facts about the site, we can consider it a good one.

Animal Furs from valious perspective - a lover of fur


The following are profiles of one lover who really loves animal furs. It is sure that there are people who show that their status are high, are pride of it and are privately glad of differences from general people. However, they may be serach about animal furs and find themselves they have wrong information. I used these sites mainly to get information:
 
 
Hello. I am one of lover of animal furs. I really love them. I have some fur coats, fur hats and fur mufflers, but I want more. Animal furs are a symbol of wealth. If I wear them, I look like a strikingly beautiful woman. These make me so gorgeous.

Of course, I know animals are killed for us to make fur stuff, but these are a part of my life. I cannot think there is no fur stuff in the world. I cannot imagine I don’t wear furs and look like a general woman like others.

By the way, I’ve heard there are fur farms. At first, I thought these farms are for lovers of fur like us, but when I found a movie which shows that animal is flayed as it is living. I was shocked. I had thought they are flayed after they killed before watching it. I was wrong, but I cannot change my conception that furs make me so beautiful, I cannot keep from buying fur stuff. So, I think all I can do for animals is using fur stuff lovingly and with thanks.

Opinion of fur providers


The folloing is the perspective toward fur trade, seeing from a person who works at a fur farm in China. This is the side that support the existence of fur farms and the people who work for that. I used mainly these sites to get factual informations about it.

   The Chinese Fur Industry

  
Chinese Industry
  

 
"I am working as a fur provider at a fur farm in China. You may think it is a kind of cruel job, and I know that there is the side that criticize and blame fur trade, and the people who work for that. But we, people who produce animals in a fur farm, get fur from them, measure and cut the fur to make fur products, do have reasons for doing that as our job. For example in my country, China, the largest exporter of fur products, there have been a great development in economy so it made people's life more industrialised. People there became to spend money on their fashion more, like fur products. If there are people who need them, there must be people who provide them. Also, it's better for the people who want fur products that the products are as cheap as possible.
This is why animals are being killed for their fur in the country. We will lose our way to live, if we lose our job. There should be an appropriate process to change the fur trade system so that workers for that would not be in trouble. It's not only responsibility of us that animals are being killed. We are also being in severe situations where we become mentally ill, or physically dangerous. To stop fur trade, you have to change the mind of people who want and buy the products."

Animal Furs from diverse viewpoint-PETA's viewpoint


The following are profiles of organization which have unique perspectives on the animal fur’s issue. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is the organization which try to protect animal’s right. Their perspective is that killing animals for their furs should not be allowed. I have written in their voice. I used factual information from this article:

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-clothing/fur.aspx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oxVwsA2MLWA
 
I am a member of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. We are called PETA. We are the largest group which support the right of animals established in 1980 in Virginia in United States.

I disagree with killing animals for their furs. Tremendous numbers of animals are sacrificed for fur coat, decoration and so on. I want to protect their lives. Can you imagine how animals are killed in fur farms? Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available, for example, beating them with the club tipped with metal hooks and beating them on the ground. I am grieved to imagine that animals are suffering from bleeding without any resistance. I think that people who buy furs for their fashion don’t think animal’s feelings. They never imagine how animals are suffering from unbearable pain when they are skinned alive. If people think these kind of things before buying furs, they will hesitate to buy furs.

In order to protect animal’s lives, we don’t want you to buy animal furs. If you really want to wear furs, you can buy cruelty-free fabrics and artificial furs in stores everywhere. We continue to work with designers and clothing retailers to encourage people to use and sell only animal-friendly fabrics. I hope more and more people never support this cruel practice by refusing to buy any fur products.
