Example sentence. A statement called horse-drawn carriages “unnatural, unnecessary, and an undeniable strain on the horses’ quality of life.” Analysis. Information on the web is often not attributed to a specific author.

So, in your essay you would refer to the ASPCA as the author of this statement and list it as the author in your works cited page or list of references.
