Paper Summary:

"Food Pets Die For" consists of seven years of research trying to get to the bottom of what people actually put into their pets' food dishes. The paper examines how author, Ann N. Martin, uses negative images, select phrases and a specific tone in order to bring her readers' attention towards the problems with commercial pet food.

From the Paper:

"Being an animal's right activist vastly influences her decision on this topic. Of course Martin feels pity for animal's whose carcasses go to feed other pets as well as those pets that must eat the carcasses of their companions. Martin is not going to want to shed any good information about these companies, all the information that is shared has the intention of being as incriminating as possible to have a better chance of getting readers to find alternative foods to the commercial pet foods."
