Faunalytics Index – December 2020
This month's Faunalytics Index provides facts and figures about alternative meat naming, perceptions of pit bull dogs, animal donor demographics, what we're thankful for, 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.
If you want to know more about any given statistic, follow the links below, read the source articles, and dive deeper into the issues.
