    The article itself is over a decade old and based on questionable data gathering and a faulty analysis processes. If you read the article they published they essentially didn’t find anything, determined without providing evidence that other factors couldn’t be a determining factor, and then data-dredging when they could find anything statistically significant to match their hypothesis.

    SkeptVet article explaining the findings in detail.

    Basically it was just shitty science.

      I guess you could say the study was dogshit.
