Mister Pip's Leads

Contrast and Compare

Thirty years ago Dick and Jane used to play with Spot and everyone was happy, but as Dick and Jane play with Spot now, it’s not their friendly golden retriever, but rather their young cheetah from an African reservation. As the world grows closer together, no longer are families happy with their dogs and cats, but rather need cobras, chimps, and lions.

¿Rhetorical Question?

How do you turn a boring American life into a riveting adventure? By getting an exotic pet of course. With more and more Americans getting exotic pets, animals are being removed from their natural habitats and being forced to live in American metropolises where they have no habitat or rightful companionship. Animals should not be kept in habitats where they were not meant to live.

Direct Address
Slimy snakes, insane monkeys, wild coyotes. These are all animals that your neighbors may be housing right next door to you. The safety of citizens and the animals are at risk, as people house more dangerous and wild animals.

    I like the rhetorical question one more. It's a bit more exciting.

    Yeah, I agree. The Dick and Jane needs a bit of a grammar check too...

    Nice.... all of them. I think that the first one is funny (if that's what you were going for).

    I'm a fan of the third lead, personally, although it might be a stretch to say that someone's neighbors are actually housing these pets. I do like that you automatically get to the heart of your issue by listing pets that are often thought of as exotic animals.
