SO WHAT?
Donating to a small organization can do much more than you think. The rhetoric of animal rights brings to light issues that most Americans disregard. We are a nation that eats more meat per person than any other country on the planet. In fact, each person eats approximately 270.7 pounds of meat per year (Barclay, 2012). Despite these striking statistics, most Americans do not know what happened to get the meat onto their dinner plates. Most Americans don't know the abuse lying behind the breeding centers they bought their puppy home from. Lastly, most Americans don't acknowledge the millions of animals killed in laboratories each day from the daily products purchased at convenience and grocery stores. The rhetoric of animal rights, if utilized correctly, can affect the way our nation and economy functions. Greenpeace, alone, effectively shut down over 70 different gas stations from their protests. Maybe it's time for Americans to stop thinking exclusively about themselves and more about the innocent lives they are ruining.
