Scientific Testing on Animals

1. Who is your audience?
My audience will be all that are opposed to the scientific testing of animals.

2. How much does your audience know or care about your issue?
The audience knowledge will range from those that just think it is wrong to those are activists and protest with their specific reasons. The general audience will need to know reasons why the testing of animals is good. To get the attention of the audience I would need to show the major benefits is has on helping people.

3. What is your audience’s current attitude toward your issue?
The audience being addressed would be either skeptical or strongly opposed to the matter. The view of scientists and of people that have been helped by the testing of animals will be important to showing how it is beneficial.

4. What will be your audience’s likely objections to your argument?
The weaknesses that could be found would be the testing on animals that did not produce significant results. The audiences view on the subject would be completely different of mine or just deciding which side to choose. Those opposed will think it inhumane to allow animals to be tested on. My beliefs are that it is beneficial, and the oppositions will be that it is cruel.

5. Finally, what values, beliefs, or assumptions about the world do you and your audience share?
The beliefs that those opposed and I share would be the importance of the survival and well-being of mankind, and the belief that humans are superior to all other animals.
