Antibiotic overuse in animals is a problem. It was recently banned for use as a growth promoter however, and use in animals is inherently less likely to lead to human infectious drug resistant bacteria.

And none of that has any impact on whether or not we should limit antibiotic overuse in humans.

Doctors certainly aren’t under-prescribing antibiotics if you look at the data.
