2) My second source is from California's Adventure Sports Journal. In this article is discuses the ban on lead ammunition and bait in California. In this source it describes all the negative effects that lead has on the environment, on wildlife, and the human population.
-URL: California's Adventure Sports Journal
The URL end with .com which then leads me to believe that this can be or not be a credible source since .com site can sometimes be owned by an individual.
-Author:
The author is unknown which makes me think that maybe this isn't the most credible source since there is no one to really take credit for the words that are being written. And also I can't be able to see if the author is knowledge and what credentials this author has on the subject.
-Last Updated:
I also can't find the date in which this article was published and there are no links that can help me to see if the material is out of date. The only reason that I know that this article is recent is because it is talking about a topic that is fairly recent.
-Purpose:
The purpose of this source was to inform the audience on why lead is being banned in the first place. It goes over some of the negative effects that it has on several populations, including humans. I actually don't feel like this article is trying to promote or dissuade people from using lead, it seems like its only purpose was to educate on the effects that lead has.
-Graphics:
The only graphic that there is, is a picture of a hunter out in the wild. Which I believe that is there to illustrate the people that are being affected by the ban on lead.
-Position on Subject:
Though I didn't think that this source was very biased it was pretty one sided in just talking about the effects that lead has on the environment, and it didn't discuss the negative effects that can occur from banning lead use. But I can verify the information that I read with other sources as well.
-Links:
There are not other links that lead to further reading or information and there are also no cited sources.
