Trust me, NOBODY is a bigger fanatic about this issue than I am. But that figure is absurd. I hope it doesn’t detract from what should be a very serious issue.
Seems everyone has a bogus stat out there. Cat haters say cats kill 50 zillion birds a year. Some groups spread the BS that there’s 200,000 child sex slaves in the US (and if you don’t believe it, you must be a pedophile!). You name the cause, and there’s a bogus stat.

(I remember when a President having an "enemies list" was a scandal. Now, they have a kill list.)

Every cause has it's zealots, and for zelots the end justifies the means. It doesn't matter if it's true, as long as it makes you belive in the cause.

Do you have a source for stats you believe to be more realistic or feasible?
