The New York Times
May 6, 2008
The author of this article expresses his disgust over the death of Eight Belles in the Kentucky Derby this past weekend. He states that there should be no reason a horse should die after running a mile and a quarter race. He says that the young horses are being raced before all of their bones are finished forming. This is probably the reason that both of the 3 year old horse's ankles broke. The author says that there are some people in the horse racing world that truly care about the welfare of the horses, but he does not approve of the people that use horses as a means to make money. He does a good job of winning over the audience with an emotional appeal by addressing the beauty of horses and then stating that the mistreatment of these animals needs to be stopped.

I did not read this article, but just by reading your opinion on it made me agree with the author. He picked a subject that can get across to many readers and he used emotion, which help a lot in this type of situation.
