My opponent states that I provide no evidence for the cruel ways that fishers kill dolphins, however I actually provided it in the citation box in my first speech. I will once again give the URL:

| Comments: | Good job establishing the criterion for the debate. This really helps you control all of the arguments for both sides. |
I think you need to do more to frame the debate generally. You let you opponent get away with framing the debate in a way that benefits her and really saps your arguments of its weight. Also, make sure you cite your evidence. |
The decision is for the Proposition: Sumin Hwang
Reason for Decision:
Both sides need to do a better job identifying key arguments. It seems like both sides assume they are winning every argument.
That being said I think that the proposition does a much better job establishing the framework for the debate and only the proposition explains to me how I can view the competing claims in this debate.
