Reflection on Animal Cruelty

Scully utilizes a range of angles in order to convince the audience regarding his rather controversial claim. Accordingly, the author argues that the movements of animal cruelty are a conservative ground. Foremost, Scully shows that the society is comprised of conservatives plainly disgusted by the problem of animal cruelty. This is evidenced when he initially asks a conservative writer concerning factory farming to which he responds by asserting that he does not know. This indicates that the problem under discourse even repels conservatives who can only avoid the issue via ignorance and insufficient research. In addition, he states that conservatives have a righteous and ethical obligation to discontinue factory farming. In one of the most powerful paragraphs in the article, Scully asserts that human beings should utilize the intellect they possess in order to engage in the protection of animals rather than manipulate them for their own causes of consumption. In relation to the assertions of Scully in the respective article, Deutsch seems to establish a stance in the same manner applied concerning the conservative commercial consumer. Accordingly, Deutsch provides a chronicle of meat production and relates it to the manner in which it represents a political issue especially for the American society. In addition to this, it is agreeable that the meat industry is a rather lucrative sector based on its profitability as a consumable product as well as a significant identifier of American capitalism. Concurring with Deutsch’s information, meat production is an illustration of the extent to which the inclination towards financial gain outweighs the protection of animals. Such tendencies have led to the considerable termination of animals thereby creating a society oblivious to this form of cruelty. Hence, on a concluding note, human beings should try as much as possible to exercise inherent restraint in order to protect such living creatures within harmful situations.
