The thesis of the article is clear and identifies two main points, which are the problem that the global discussion does not propose sufficient methods to solve the issue. At the same time, the thesis notes that some of the proposed methods for managing livestock have a significant impact on animals. Thus, the thesis does not reflect the third aspect. It is significant to mention that the paragraphs are filled with sufficient information to highlight and understand the significant components of each section. The main paragraphs are related to the topic and provide additional information to illuminate the generalized thesis. Although for example, the paragraphs give too much detail about animal digestion, which depends on the environment (Shields and Orme-Evans). However, the thesis is that these paragraphs should offer methods for managing livestock production and the pollution problems of terrestrial areas.
It is significant to observe that the authors write the statement in accordance with the established thesis. The authors provided examples of corporations and legislation departing from intensive animal husbandry (Shields and Orme-Evans). Moreover, the authors note that he outlined the purpose and explained the scope of finding methods to solve the problem, but it is essential to investigate the subject in the future. Additionally, the authors use formal language and a consistent flow of information that gives credibility to the research. The author has provided a proper format of sources that allows for an appreciation of the depth of the study. At the same time, the sources are referenced, which will enable readers to double-check their credibility. I think the article is well written and provides valuable information. I would suggest that it focus more on offering methods for addressing the problem rather than describing its causes and urgency.
