Notes:

  • Emphasis added to 'Euthanized' row.  The original table on the BASE web site places no particular importance on this horrifying row of numbers.
  • Note deceptive formatting of data
    • Kittens and puppies listed separately, which is good, but no total numbers for felines and canines, obscuring total numbers of cats and dogs handled.
    • lack of totals for outcomes, particularly euthanasia, which obscures total number of animals killed.
    • By sorting columns alphabetically by label, two additional colums separate cats from kittens, three columns separate dogs from puppies, increasing the difficulty of  mentally adding up the numbers by species.
    • Oddly, the 'Other' and 'Puppy' columns are swapped in the 'Intakes' table, compared to the 'Outcomes' table.
  • The original table on the BASE web site looks quite different in web browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Notes:

  • Emphasis added to 'Euthanized' row.  The original table on the BASE web site places no particular importance on this horrifying row of numbers.
  • Cats & kittens, dogs & puppies are grouped together making it easy to see their numbers as belonging to the same species.
  • Totals row & column, and percentages column have been added to help reader see the big picture.
