- Mass murder is inhumane, illegal, and simply evil
- Animals are mass murdered everyday for food, clothing, and testing
- Killing animals for food, clothing, and testing is inhumane, illegal, and simply evil.
2.
- Terrorists deliberately kill innocent civilians
- The Animal Liberation Front does not kill civilians
- The ALF is not a terrorist organization
If someone were to announce that they were going to start a campaign of violent mass murder against an innocent group of living beings moral justice would demand that we stand up and fight against this injustice. Such was the case with the Nazi regime and the “Final Solution”, and in response the world answered and fought against tyranny. Human nature and common morals indicate that mass murder is inhumane, illegal, and simply evil, and as a society we must do all we can to ensure that mass murder does not claim the lives of the innocent. However, contrary to what most people choose to believe today, campaigns similar to the “Final Solution” continue today, and the victims are among the most innocent and defenseless on the planet, the animals. Mass murder is wrong, and this includes the mass murder of innocent animals for greedy means like food, clothing, and research testing.

i don't follow your logic in #2, how does animal liberation relate to terrorists??
Good logic in #1; you really developed it well in your paragraph.
Both syllogisms were well written and the logic in the paragraphs followed the syllogisms well. Good job.
I thought that the first syllogism was very organized. You were on the same track with the second syllogism as well; however, instead of saying what the AFL is not, say what it is.
I think that your second syllogism is good because I am familiar (a little bit at least) with the ALF. I can see why people may not have understood it from reading it, but the logic is good and when you can describe a little bit more in your how the ALF has been labeled as terrorists then it will be quite effective.
I believe that the logic in your second syllogism is good. It makes complete sense to me. The paragraph flowed nicely and I didn't see any problems with it. Oh, one question, when you say ALF do you mean the Animal Liberation Front or ALF, the furry alien?
