Rhetoric Appeals
To be honest, all 3 appeals helped in convincing me that SeaWorld has it's dark secrets and effect innocents in doing so. In pathos appeal, when the orca's families are just crying out to their babies from across the net, that really got to me. Knowing that the orcas could've swam away when they got their chance, they actually stayed knowing that they won't ever see the babies again. Another example of pathos is when one of the mother orca at SeaWorld is using this long distance call to her daughter who had just been taken away from her. Pathos made me feel something but Ethos and Logos Appeal really made the director's argument stronger. Ethos used actual former SeaWorld trainers and also people who were victims of orca attacks or at least people related to them. To show both sides of the situation, the director also showed somewhat SeaWorld's perspective through a current employee. What really got to me in the Logos Appeal are the current trainers at SeaWorld LYING about the orca's lifespan and dorsal fins. Just lying to the people, covering up tragedies, blaming trainers instead of the animals, actual police reports and former trainer's experience and basically just being shady, that's all reason enough for me to believe that SeaWorld isn't what we thought it would be. The author isn't only targeting SeaWorld though. He or She is against owning a wild animals because unlike domestic animals, they're really unpredictable so you never know what might happen, they belong in the wild.
