Faunalytics Index – December 2019
This month's Faunalytics Index provides facts about animal research in China, the global reach of horseracing, companion animals on vegan diets, and much more.
Each month, our Faunalytics Index provides a round-up of data, statistics, and facts gleaned from the most recent research we’ve covered in our library. Our aim is to give you a quick overview of some of the most eye-catching and informative bits of data that could help you be more effective in your advocacy for animals.
