a website which appeal to emotion


I found a website which "appeal to emotion"

http://www.petaasiapacific.com/feature-chinese-furfarms.asp

 People in normal life would not know how fur farms are managed, how animals are killed to skin and how furs are supplied to consumers, like us. Fur lovers don't care about it, I think, because there is no opportunity to know fur problem through their normal life. However, after you watching this website, your thought of fur problem might change.

These expressions would affect on our minds...
" in outdoor wire cages, exposed to driving rain, freezing nights, and scorching sun"
"often kill their babies after delivering litters"

These expressions make it possible for us to obtain information  and to understand about animals with furs' miserable lives. It is a so sad facts that babies are killed for human's desire, even though they have no sin to be skinned and killed.

These words which appeal to human's emotion can change their minds, and they would not buy fur items one after another.

    Usually, an argument that appeals to one's emotion is looked down upon as a cheap way to manipulate people's opinions--with moving images or emotive language rather than facts, but, in the case of the website you describe, I think an appeal to emotion is the most effective method for getting people to change their minds, just as you point out.

    I watched a small part of the video on the link you provided and I could only watch about 10 seconds of it before I almost got sick to my stomach. The cruelty is unbelievable. The members of the Swiss NGO that took the video secretly must have risked their lives doing it.

    I was impressed by the following quote at the end of the web page:

    "Because fur's origin can't be traced, anyone who wears any fur at all shares the blame for the horrific conditions on Chinese fur farms. The only way to prevent such unimaginable cruelty is never to wear any fur."

    That says it all and it gives people who were appalled by the video a clear course of action: Don't wear furs!
