Ban live export
You all were brought into this world, lived as a child happily with a loving family. A fence keeps you contained from running wild; you are surrounded by your family. You played with your sisters and brothers, embracing the life you have. You have grown up, you are strong now, you are bigger now, and you can feel every emotion now.

Suddenly strange figures surround you; you are trapped within the fence of your life. You are being forced onto a ship; you are being separated from your family. Other are in the same situation all cramped with no natural sun light. You are there for months.

You arrive at an unfamiliar place, dirty, bloody, cold and scary. You hear others screaming in pain, you are trembling with fear. You are put into a chamber, you are screaming. You are being gouged in the eye, sliced in the legs; your tail is being broken. You have done nothing wrong, you are innocent. Yet your life is ended mercilessly, brutally.

Australian animals have been treated this way. They were treated like worthless rubbish. They were sawn at with blunt knives before they were thrown into mass graves, some still alive hours later. This horrific, sickening subject is coldly called live export.

I stand here today, on behalf of the sane humans, standing for justice on how Australian animals are treated, on how Australian animals are murdered, on how Australian animals are being sawn at with knives for the 'Halal' religion in which is not being followed, on how people are grateful to live in a country in which they send innocent animals to be tortured and beaten to death, that humans are proud to call themselves ‘Australian’. I stand here today, a 14 year old girl, on behalf of the AUSTRALIAN animals. I stand here to strongly support that we ban live export.

Last night you slept peacefully, tonight you will sleep peacefully and tomorrow you will sleep peacefully, but innocent Australians livestock will not. Cattle and sheep live with the fear of being

    Shark culling has become the new issue for the Australian media. Over the past three years, after seven fatal shark attacks in Western Australia’s waters, Premier Colin Barnett, declared to kill any shark bigger than three meters spotted in the designated kill zones. This culling has killed many sharks and is going to result to the extinction of these species. Miranda Devine published an opinion piece with the headline “A tasty dish for a very big fish… and it’s all our fault” in The Daily Telegraph newsletter on February 12th, 2014 stating that it is our fault that we have become part of shark’s food chain. Julia Baird also published an opinion piece in The Sydney Morning Herald on the 1st of the February 2014, with the headline “Shark cull: From jaws of defeat” opposing that sharks should be culled for a safer environment for the beaches. The selected poster from the website “Culling is not the answer” was published on the 25th of January, 2014 supporting that by killing sharks we are not making any difference on saving lives.…

    Brutality - the trait of extreme cruelty. ‘Counter Attack’ illustrates brutality through the quote “And butchered, frantic gestures of the dead,” a hyperbole and metaphor has been used to create this ferocious scene. Juxtaposition has also been used to express the soldiers’ movements’ in contrast to those from the dead. With the use of these techniques it allows the audience to visualise the brutal aftermath of an all too common battle. “Down, and down, and down, he sank and drowned,” repetition of the word ‘down’ has been employed emphasising the soldiers’ brutal death as well as generating harsh, visual imagery.…

    Imagine being out in the fields hunting with your father. It has been a long day and a spitted warthog hangs between you. All of a sudden you are ambushed! An enemy tribe attacks you and your father. You fight using your makeshift spear but are overwhelmed by the number of tribesmen. You are hit in the head with a rock and fall unconscious. When you wake you are being loaded into a great wooden monster. You cringe in fear as you and your fellow captives are herded into this great wooden beast. You scream in protest at the white men who have chained you but they just beat you on the head with their rifles. You are taken into a dark and disgusting hold. The prisoners next to you are screaming in fear. The smell of waste and vomit permeates everything. As a white man chains you down below you think of your family and realize you are never going to see them again. Sleep comes slowly because of the cries of pain and misery; the rocking of the floor eventually puts you to sleep. A long time has passed. Your days consist of sleeping in your own filth, eating a disgusting porridge, and rarely seeing outside your hold. But one day the hold is opened and bright light blinds you. You are lifted to your weakened legs and led outside. The land is alien to you, and white men are everywhere. You are paraded in front of a great throng of white people. The humiliation is great as you are poked and inspected. Eventually you are shackled and loaded onto a horse-drawn cart. The ride is long and uncomfortable and the destination more frightening. You have no idea what is going to happen to you and are very much afraid. You come to a great house and are taken to the fields around the house. You are given into the custody of a great white brute. He puts you into a small cottage with other black men. You have a very difficult time understanding their languages but eventually they get a message across to you: You are a slave, and will live the rest of your days as one.…

    It was a wall I built that separated me from the rest of the world. To this day, I do not know whether I was trying to keep others out or myself in. Either way, I pushed people away so far that I was not even visible at the furthest horizons. The golden rays of the dawning sun were so strong that the shadow it casted on my sister looked much like me. That's where I lived my life: in the shadows of my older sister... in the background of my younger brother. Always seen. Never heard. Never acknowledged. I guess that was fine with me. It was all I ever knew. With my sister always in and out of hospitals and my brother always needing special attention for his special needs, it was ironic that I felt like the burden. I just wanted a little attention but was too scared to ask for…

    A topic that’s been constantly debated over the last few years in Australia is the treatment of Asylum seekers. The opinion piece and the cartoon share a similar stance on the issue. ‘Australia’s ugly secret: we still warehouse asylum seekers’ by Julian Burnside and a cartoon by Andrew Dyson, both from the Age newspaper share the idea of cruel treatment by Australian official to the in need refuges. Julian makes his point very clear about how ‘warehousing’ the asylum seeker is not the right way to treat human being. The cartoon by Dyson presents a view to the readers that Kevin Rudd is incompetent in keeping the refugees ‘afloat’.…

    Asylum Seekers

    • 1018 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Many members of Australian society display culturally relative beliefs and embrace compassionate humanitarian attitudes towards the issue of asylum seekers. Unsurprisingly, most people passionately posed towards this pluralistic attitude have a much greater understanding and concern for the experiences of individual asylum seekers rather than the demands it imposes on the economy and pressure it places on pre-existing laws. A satirical article written by Benjamin Law supports and shapes the humanitarian values by highlighting the traumatic experiences people seeking asylum face and as a result triggering emotional responses: “The way they harp on about it, you’d think it was a matter of life or death…We must avoid listening to their stories of rape and famine, murdered siblings and starved children.” (Source F) Statements such as these significantly contribute to humanitarian views of the debate as it promotes the resettlement of asylum seekers in Australia. Moreover, being classed as a first world country, Australia is seen as an ideal place for resettlement of these desperate and traumatised human beings. Not only…

    I imagine O’Brien pinning the other prisoners’ arms to the wall, and slowly driving nails that are the length of their feet into their wrists. When he finishes there, I look to see him nailing their ankles through the sides of their legs; one nail for two ankles. I can feel the torture watching them, as the blood is drawn out of their bodies. They scream in agony, and he stands there laughing at the pain they are forced to endure. He then proceeds to break every single bone in their body. They scream even more and their eyes widen at the torture. He makes me watch this part, telling me that I am his prize. His masterpiece, his work of art. That no other’s pain would he capture quite brilliantly as mine. I tremble, hoping that he would just do it already,, and I would no longer live in such agony. When every single bone in the body of the tortured had been broken, he draws a stick from his fire that is still gleaming with the red hot flames of it, and slowly applies it to their skin. They scream and he forces them to confess of the crimes they committed against the party as he burns them alive. He burns the skin off layer by layer watching it slowly filter away, until finally there is none left, and the only thing left to do with them is throw their bodies into the fire.…

    Day in and day out, vicious and heinous crimes are being committed on factory farmed animals due to the demands of food from this obese generation of people. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 10.2 billion land animals were brought up and killed for food in the United States throughout 2010. Plus, per person, an American meat-consumer is responsible for the suffering and death of 28 land animals per year (“Number of”). Animals have little to no rights when it comes to protection than that of humans. Therefore, humans often do whatever they want to animals for meat—knowing that they will get away with it. Of the estimated 10.2 billion land animals killed in 2010, roughly 91% were chickens raised for meat; this just goes…
