:No, it's a dumb article. Basic fact checking reveals that the opening claim is false, and that the author was a fool to rely on a single secondary source. The 2001 study '''does not''' show a 5% prevalence of sexual assault for '''all''' dogs and cats requiring veterinary treatment. Rather, it shows a 6% prevalence (28 cases) among '''a very small subset''' of dogs and cats requiring treatment, namely those presenting with non-accidental injuries (448 animals in total).

::Givemeliberty, I cited a  monthly, peer-reviewed veterinary journal and leading newspapers. It is no mere essay my evolutionist friend! :) I thought liberals loved peer reviewed material from the mainstream scientific community and leading newspaper citations. JohanZ, thank you for providing the journal citation. :) [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 10:38, 26 August 2013 (EDT)
