Ex)  I disagree with your comment about how the loggers are the biggest contributors to deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.  I believe that the cattle ranchers are the number one threat to the Amazon.  According to my research, the cattle ranchers were responsible for 38% of Amazon deforestation from 1966-1975.
