Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that hunting and poaching should be more harshly regulated because it will help preserve the many suffering species worldwide.

IV. It is all of our responsibilities to at least be aware of the impacts of these crimes in our society, but it is your personal moral values that will make you think about it after today and decide what you would like to do about it.
