Non-Fiction

I read the article Animal Abuse-Enough is Enough! by, Ricardo Contreras.  The main idea about this article is that everyone needs to find a way to try to help stop animal abuse. According to the article you can do this by, donating money to a company that helps prevents any harm done to living animals, or teaching younger kids this so that they know it's wrong at an earlier age. The author also adds that many of the charities for animal cruelty are little money. So there is no reason for any of us not to be able donate a dollar or even fifty cents. Although all of these are good ideas, Contreras says "reporting animal cruelty is the best thing you can do to help stop it." He adds that this is because you can help the animal that is currently being abused, and any animals that could be abused after that.

Conteras is trying to make the audience of this article feel bad for these animals. He is trying to show you that these animals need help. They need to be saved from any people who might think it's okay to manipulate innocent animals. He stated all of the possible ways that you can help the animals and how easy it would be if we just made a phone call or donated some money. More and more animals are being abused around the world and it's up to us to stop it.
