: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 for '''a very small sub-set of 448 dogs and cats''', namely those presenting with non-accidental injuries.
