The peer- reviewed paper appears to be some bias in the quotes provided throughout the article. This article is helpful in finding a middle ground for antibiotics. This article is different than my other sources in the fact that is arguing against antibiotic use in livestock. The goal of this source is to urge the United States to implement similar antibiotic laws as Denmark. (72 words)
RESPONSE:
In this case, I disagree with the author. There are claims made without statical evidence.

This article could be convincing to people that are uninformed on the topic. (92 words)

The author of this piece is just a news writer, but he quotes ranchers, provides information about a study conducted by Dr. Scott Hurd. a professor at Iowa State University.

It is not bias because it presents valid points for each side. The goal of this source is to acknowledge valid points for pro antibiotics and against antibiotics. (90 words)
RESPONSE:
I do agree with the author that there are valid points for each argument. For example, people are dying due to resistant bacteria but there is no solid evidence tracing the issue directly back to meats. The parts that I have found helpful were the pros and cons. These ideas really clear up the opposing argument for me. I do find this article convincing because of the fact that it supports what I know about ranchers. Ranchers are not trying to killed people they just want their animals and consumers to be happy. (93 words)
