Acosta, Anthony. "What Can Blogging Bo foi Animal Welfaie." uuest Post. -)!. /"0 1!$&
2!304#+54 Nixeu Neuia Natteis, 2u14. Web. 8 Febiuaiy 2u14.
http:thisonewilulife.comanimal-welfaie-blogging

Acosta's blog post speaks to the value of Kim Clune's appioach to blogging in the seivice of animal
welfaie, which he piaises foi its ability to leveiage meaningful iesults. Be contiasts hei ihetoiical
appioach (focusing on the "pios" of animal auoption) with the pieuictably emotional oi pathetic
appioaches of auvocates like Saiah NcLachlan, who employ "goiy images" to peisuaue. Be closes by
outlining Clune's auvice to stuuents foi stiengthening theii own blogs.

I plan to use Acosta's blog as &()*+,-.. Be's joining a conveisation about whethei blogging can
have an effect on the public. Some scholais (like Nalcolm ulauwell) aigue that uigital activism isn't
paiticulaily effective. Acosta's post suggests otheiwise. I'm inteiesteu in examining )+( animal
welfaie auvocates aigue theii casesanu I'm peisonally tuineu off by auveitisements like Saiah
NcLachlan'sanu Acosta shows how Kim Clune's blogs anu hei website have been effective in
iaising awaieness about anu placing abanuoneu uogs in new homes. Acosta is a souice that
uemonstiates the position that blogging can have a positive effect.
