You may want to do a little background on Merritt Clifton before you cite him. He's a PETA freak, and there have been a number of refutations of the methodology of his "study".

A lot of Animal Rights leftists see breed specific legislation as a foot in the door towards ultimately outlawing pet and animal ownership all together; Clifton falls into this group.

If you care to associate yourself with his *science*, you'll also conclude that animal husbandry is a cause of global warming, and vegeterianism is the way to go.

Feel free to lay down with him, but don't be surprised if you get up with fleas.
