Fear Factories Response

In the article, Scully attacks conservatives and their neglect for the rights of animals. He uses real world examples such as court cases and his own personal visits to these animal farms in conversations and analysis of conservative actions. He details his belief that conservatives use basic moralistic principles, mostly derived from biblical ideals, to establish laws for man kind. As a result Scully believes that these conservatives need to stop turning a blind eye to animal cruelty and make laws for the animals just as they would for humans. He believes that conservatives need to stop treating animal farming with a sense of obligation to kill the animals in as humane a way as possible, and start treating the animals in a humane way while they are still alive. Overall Scully seems to be disgusted with how little conservatives, and sometimes liberals, are doing about the animal farming business and other cruel businesses such as guaranteed hunting just to make a dollar. He calls them to action in order to take a stand for the rights of these animals because he believes that if we treat animals in such an inhumane manner, that we become animals ourself.

  1. I like how you establish your point at the very beginning of your response, saying that Scully 'attacks' conservatives. It makes it more clear that he wants conservatives to put their ideas into practice for animals too, and not just for their human counterparts.
