Which article are you evaluating?
Animal testing on rodents

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose the article "animal testing on rodents" due to the lack of information presented on the issue. Despite the lack of information, the topic is crucial as rats are one of the most commonly tested on animals and yet due to their negative reputation they are not equally recognized for the violent nature of animal testing they endure. The article is effectively outlined, however, insufficiently provides details including more information about various rodents, history, negative impacts, and the reasoning behind testing on rodents

Evaluate the article
The lead section successful presents the topic in a concise and unbiased approach. The articles content is relevant to the topic and the information and seemingly up to date as it utilizes information from 2015. The sources are outdated as many of them are from 2002-2010. However, the page employs the sources throughout the article to support the evidence presented. The article is well written, neutral, clear, and broken up by topics. Nevertheless, the article overall lacks information to fully understand the scope of the topic. Information such as activists groups vs. companies, current companies involved, and alternatives, would make the article more informational.
