Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?

Evaluate the article
The article has a decent lead and does not seem out of date. I would suggest better incorporations of topics discussed in the entire article within the lead, as it veers off slightly into specifics that may not be necessary in the lead. Information does not seem out of date, but rabies is not mentioned which seems to be important for this subject; this is also mentioned by other users in the talk page. The article is very neutral and viewpoints are not over or under represented. Citation links seem to work and cite reliable sources. These citations also do properly represent information linked to them. The number of authors and citations is vast. This is a B rated article and is very similar to how the topic was spoken about in class.
