There is only ONE cite for this journal on the entire WWW, and it's
the one in an identical post on an obscure website forum.
There is NO cite on the entire web for any vet named "Dr. Victor
O'Neill" except in this same post.
All the evidence is completely the opposite of the "facts" in this
silly, crossposted message.
Cats, for example, live twice as long as their outdoor kin if kept
indoors for all the obvious reasons.
This poster is either a troll or an idiot. Hmmm, maybe both.
