National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy.
Abstract: "The
National Council consists of humane organizations, breeder groups, and
veterinary associations brought together to work on mutual goals regarding the
pet animal surplus. The Council has conducted studies regarding animal entry
and exit numbers from shelters nationally and the characteristics of animals
and humans involved in relinquishment of animals to shelters. A national
household survey served as a control group for the relinquishment study to help
indicate which characteristics of animals and humans were really significant
risk factors for failed human/animal relationships. These studies have resulted
in publications in peer-reviewed journals. The significance of these
publications is their effect of legitimizing the field of pet population
research, and therefore encouraging other scientists to address this issue in
their work."
