There is no penalty for inappropriate prescription of antibiotics. Or, if there is, in unaware of anyone who faced consequences.

Antibiotics might be overused in humans, but as the article states, the amount used in animal agricultural is astronomically higher.

Animals are kept in appalling conditions to lower the cost of meat and this causes rampant infections, so antibiotics are used prophylactically leading to increasingly resistant bacteria.

A better solution than limiting human usage is to ban their use in agriculture.
