Writing: After reading both pieces, it seems like Esquire took more liberties as far as artful writing goes. Even though both stories started of at a similar point in the event, the lead, “The horses knew first,” in Esquire was a great attention grabber, as opposed to GQ’s “A little before five o'clock on the evening of October 18 …”
We had some disagreements in which we thought was the better piece overall, but we both agreed that Esquire's quality of writing was a cut above. It read more like a feature, rather than the more traditional journalistic, reporting sense we got after reading GQ's.

Multimedia: GQ made good use of the statistics regarding the price of exotic animals, as well as other facts. Although, we did find problems with the amount, as well as the quality, of pictures placed throughout. There weren’t many, and the three pictures on page two were pretty small, maybe if we could've clicked on them to make them bigger it would've made a difference.
Just like their writing style, Esquire's pictures were artful and intense. The black and white images went along perfectly.

Transcendence: GQ asks the reader, what kind of person does this? Also questions the relationship between humans and animals, and what kind of varied connections there are between them.
Esquire appealed to readers at a personal level, painting a really good portrait of policemen making hard decisions in the heat of the moment.
