The topic that I would like to do my rhetorical analysis and evaluation on is the treatment of animals, as well as the topic of vegetarianism. This topic is very important to me, because I believe that if more people knew where their food was coming from they would either stop eating it, or at least make an effort to buy free range meat and poultry. The two sources I will be using for analysis will be a song by the band The Smiths, Meat Is Murder. A song that is obviously about the opinion that eating meat constitutes murder. The other source I plan on using will be a video, created by PETA and narrated by Alec Baldwin, the title of which is called Meet your Meat. I plan on comparing the two mediums, The Smiths song in how is employs the listener to be compassionate, where as the PETA video simply throws the brutal images into the viewers face. Overall I would say that the video is more effective because of the imagery it actually shows, while the song is more appealing because it does not have all of the gore, and because the song is actually quite good.
You can find the song by The Smiths, Meat Is Murder here.
And, you can find the video by PETA, Meet Your Meat here.

(The PETA video is very graphic)
