Hook me up baby! (ideas needed for a hook for my persuasive speech)?

I am giving a persuasive speech to inform pet owners of the harms of de-clawing cats, and to convince them to consider alternative methods to keep their cats from clawing the furniture.

Unfortunately, I am having a hard time coming up with a good hook to grab my audiences attention.

Best hook idea wins! ready..set…GO!!!

When I can’t think of a good hook, I use a quote from Mark Twain. He has quotes about almost anything. For example:

Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat. (Notebook, 1894)

You could go on then to explain that declawing the cat only harms it because of its very nature, and that people who want a pet cat should put up with what a non-declawed cat does with its claws.

There should be much better cat-related quotes out there by other people – do a search for “cat quotes” and find something more related.

it is organic laziness why somebody could declaw a cat. it is egocentric and harsh. look, I actual have had cats all of my existence. My mom taught me and now i’ll enable you recognize, it rather works. it is easy, yet some greater artwork. You practice it such as you may the different animal. showing it that that’s a undesirable factor in a type way. they gained’t respond to abuse, it is going to basically worsen. Animals are basically 4yrs previous of their head, their finished existence. So, think of relating to the way you may instruct a 4 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous to no longer do something. everybody is rather ignorant whilst it includes the animals that they very own. How do human beings practice canines to fetch or roll over??? comparable for cats. It merely takes beyond familiar time and love on the proprietors part. that’s a priveledge to very own an animal and in case you may no longer supply them time, do no longer very own them interior the 1st place.

thats wicked corny though

you could ask the question of what would you do if without your finger nails?

oh man you know that feeling when you just cut your nails and opening a soda can is a pain

How about, asking the people how they would feel if they had no toe nails, and they kicked a door while opening it… hurts enough with nails… and just imagine it’s cold. *sniffles*
