Group Plans
My group and I are planning to write an editorial in hopes to also includes some sort of picture so that people can truly understand the devestation of puppy mills. We were thinking to have an online editorial that could show multiple pictures with huge headlines, big font, and drastic stories of the mass dog breeding agencies.

Advertisment and thinking rhetorically
So i've been looking for an advertisment on puppy mills and i found this picture:
http://www.stoppuppymills.org/images/700x900_ad_puppy_dog_eyes.jpg
The purpose of this argument is to end puppy mills and hopes for people to stop letting the cute eyes of the puppy fool them when they buy a puppy at a pet shop, online, or from a puppy mill indirectly. The audience for this argument is anyone that plans on buying a dog or has a pet companion at home. There were two arguments used in this argument: ethos and pathos. Ethos is established because the HSUS is the organization that posted the picture and they have been around for years trying to end mills. Of course as soon as you look at it, it tugs at your heart, just by looking in these puppies eyes. It tries to make the creator seem trustworthy by stating a couple sentences about puppy mills and what the animals go through while being there, while also putting the organization on the ad. This argument appeals to anyone that would like you buy a puppy. The facts that are used in this argument is stated, "There's a world of suggering hidden behind those irresistible puppies for sale in pet shops and on the Internet. The pups are often born to mothers in small cages at abusive "puppy mills," where dogs are treated not like pets, but cash crops. These filthy, overcroweded factories breed dogs with a variety of health abd behavioral problems-undetectable until a pet owner is forced to spend a forutne on care and veterinary bills." This evidence is arranged in a way by first catching the readers attention, exploring the details of puppies, giving a definition, effects of mills, and asking for help.
I think that this is a social argument, because it serves to ask people to have more values that what they've been doing and to stop what they've been doing and not buy the pups from the pet shops or the Internet. The language is very direct, detailed, and uses the appropriate adjectives to really tug at the readers heart strings.
