You need to understand that we as responsible keepers and breeders love these animals, live for these animals, care for these animals. When statements are made about how many animals "survived" than it should be factual like the results of the transmitted animals. We don't want our passion and/or livelihood to be put into the hands of the undereducated and misinformed.

To put this information out publicly and not disclose that the mortality rate cannot be proven in a scientific manner by the amount of live found vs dead and to go further and put an actual percentage rate on it is ridiculous and harmful. As I said before there is no way to find all alive or dead but it is much harder to find dead that sought shelter from the cold.

The scientific information is great but pseudo science has no place in this matter. The truth is unless they have transmitters or were observed 24/7 there is no way to put a number on anything.
