The article is from EBSCOhost, and it is a reliable source because it is a well known academic source. I’m not sure if this article contains any political bias. The author of this article is Rollin Bernard E. This author is against animal experiments, yet he presents both sides of the argument. There is no specific targeted audience because this is a sensitive topic, whereas awareness is necessary. The title of this article stands out because it is extremely clear about what the article is about: the pros and cons of animal experiments. I’m not sure if this article shows any attempt to politicize any news item or appeal to a particular demographic. Although, this article is accurate and concerning the content. There are no pictures of graphics at the beginning of the article to preview the argument or to give the argument a particular context. The main idea is that humans owe to animals. In other words, we owe it to animals to treat them respectfully. The sub-arguments are that animal experiments are unethical. The author uses logos and pathos throughout the article. The author uses metacognition, and other effective strategies to persuade the readers. For example, the author has the right tone to speak to the audience. The tone is serious and convincing. I believe that there are no logical fallacies in this article. The article does link to other relevant sources, although I did not find list of sources at the end of the article. It is clear that the article is factual, and I can get far enough when I tried checking the source or background of the argument.
