In a 2007 article published in Time
magazine, author Carolyn Sayre engages the reader by telling the stories of mutilated
animals, something that really pulls at the heart for animal lovers alike. She cleverly
lures the audience in by giving a brief description of how each animal has been
disfigured. In her next paragraph she switches from her sympathetic tone
to something a little more uplifting, a solution to this problem, a cure of
some soft. Sayre continues to further draw the reader in by giving us hope that
these animal prostheses will eventually be able to help some of the 1.9 billion
amputees living the Unites States; and in my book, this is a win-win.
One of my friends in high school
had a three legged cat, something at seems quite outlandish, but for them it
was completely normal; in fact, the cat coped quite well, it didn’t even seem
to faze him. In my opinion, the idea of a prosthetic leg for a cat seems futile
since they’re already so agile, but in the case of an elephant, it’s defiantly a
game changer. After reading this article I fully support researching and finding
ways to improve the overall quality and functionality of prostheses because not
only will it improve the lives of these helpless animals but also, in the long
run, it will help our human amputees live more normal lives.
