Dog Walking - Friend or Enemy?

Well apparently "Big Bird" organizations are out to get their natural rival, the dog. Apparently some stupid professor from the University of New South Wales has "published" (and I use that terms lightly) an in-depth study into how dog walking, or the vicinity of dogs has a devastating effect of the presence of natural bird wildlife.


His experiments show that dog-walking causes more than 40 per cent reduction in bird abundance and more than 35 per cent reduction in bird diversity in woodlands, even if the pets are kept on a lead. I say DUH!!!!!! What the heck do you expect when a bird gets around a dog? They fly away. But for Pete's sake, they come back! For anyone with large trees on their property like mine, I wish that a dog in the backyard would keep those bloody sparrow away for good. I'm tired of cleaning up the excess amounts of bird dung left all over the ground.
Seriously! I'm beginning to think that becoming a tenured professor is an easier and more "lax" job than flipping burgers and dealing with people's custom orders each day.
I don't even want to know how much money he so blatantly wasted on this study. Get real....
