Ep169 - Merritt Clifton

Interview! Merritt Clifton, Editor at Animals 24-7 "These days, shelters probably see only a fraction of the real numbers of cats in the community." In this episode, Stacy revisits Merritt Clifton, the editor of the Animals 24-7 news site. This time, Merritt gives an in-depth look at the use of statistics and data in animal welfare. He gives some inside tips and tricks into how one person can estimate population levels of community cats in their area and track that population over time. Merritt advocates for better data-keeping and measuring of statistics in the animal welfare world so that organizations and individual advocates can learn from one another.   Listen to Merritt's first interview with Stacy here, or visit him at animals24-7.org.
