He was angry with the way Indians were treated by the Spanish and urged the Spanish authorities to show more humanity to them.
Explanation:
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer and the first European to step foot into (what is now known as) Texas and from the day he arrived, he and his men faced continuous attacks by the Indians that were already there. Eventually, his men were overwhelmed and he was one of the four survivors of the expedition.
In 1536, the survivors were found and rescued by a Spanish slaving party, and when he returned to Spain for the first time, he was outraged by the treatment of Indians and asked that they be treated better.

Answer:
In paragraph 7 of <em>Shooting an Elephant</em>, Orwell appeals to pathos by using descriptive language and imagery to convey his feelings of having to shoot an elephant in the presence of natives. Orwell says "the sea of yellow faces" and "garish clothes" to describe his surroundings and to evoke imagery from the reader. This effect helps substantially with placing us alongside him in the book, and helping us to understand more about the setting. Furthermore, Orwell tells us about the way the natives gather around him, saying "it was an immense crowd, two thousand at least and growing every minute." By doing this, Orwell makes it as if we can almost experience the peer pressure of feeling obligated to do something because of those around us. Lastly, this effect of peer pressure is further by the last line in which he expresses that if he does not kill the elephant, everyone around him will be dissapointed.
