Website Evaluation

http://www.thedogisland.com/
WHO:
The people responsible for the information are Xiao Min, Han Fei, Linda Reyes, and Diana Rogers.
Information abou the organization is clear because they have a company information tab to click on.
You can not contact them through real world addresses but you can email each of them.
you can not confirm they are credible.
WHAT:
The information is biased in that they are telling you only the positive aspects of dog island because they are a commercial site and charge money to send your dog.
The site relies on loaded language, emotions are used, and the site only offers their viewpoint.
It clearly states the topics it intends to stress and it is clear and easy to understand and well written. they only offer their point of view. I could not find the copyright material.
WHEN:
The information is currrent because there is a date stamp on the top left of the screen that shows the date and there is also a weather report for dog island on the day you are viewing the site.
WHERE:
It is a .com site so that means that it is a commercial site which means they make money off of it.
WHY:
I can't get this information faster offline, the material suits my needs, but i can not verify the information looking at the site alone.
HOW:
I can perform a search to find that there are many references to dog island and even a map.
