    This is a PDF....you will need ADOBE to view it.


    Believing anything that comes from the NAIA, an organization that is run by a Lawyer for the Circus and and someone from the Cattle Industry, is like believing a used car salesman.

    Very interesting. I don't understand the disparity. Denver, CO doesn't have a mandatory spay/neuter program, but due to the diligience of the various agencies, shelters, and the public awareness campaigns, Denver now has to import dogs for their adoption centers (mostly from here in New Mexico - don't ask!)

    I wish more cities had that kind of success.

    Data and Graphs can be presented in a way that can  lead the person looking at them to come to conclusion that is totally false. Having a graph, with something claiming that the data on that graph is "Questionable" is  misleading, but that is not surprising considering this is presented by NAIA. Everything on an NAIA site is questionable in my opinion. Let's face it, a Lawyer is the person presenting  what you see, and we all know how trustworthy and honest they are.[;)

    How about attacking the data or the statistical method?  Attacking the people or their profession is an extremely weak argument and just says that you don't know how to refute their conclusions.

    You know that cuts both ways.  I have seem a large amouts of mis-information on the Pro-bill web sites. 
     
    The author isn't even a member of the NAIA board.
     
    When a link to an article on the NAIA was posted in a different thread the same slam against the NAIA was used and in that case the author of the article was a highly respected menber of a national breed club.
