[edit] Animal members...

I have already argued that I prefer more serious criticism, but I can not resist pointing out yet another animal member of this prestigious society. Namely, Australian nutritionist Rosemary Stanton's Old English Sheepdog used to be a member, see [1]. --Merzul 21:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I tried to take a look, but my PDF-reading program promptly crashed. Sounds interesting: do please rewrite accordingly. After all, a dog would show that the dead cat wasn't merely a fluke oversight. And serious criticism would of course be welcome too. -- Hoary 22:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC) .... PS one bit deleted; below, I rephrase it. -- Hoary 23:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I will add this one, but only because I prefer dogs over cats! :) --Merzul 22:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I added this, and then read "This organisation has been criticised by Quackwatch for selling membership certificates to unqualified individuals." O RLY? :D Anyway, this is fun, but don't be surprised if some editor is offended and considers that this is WP:SYNT. I feel a git guilty that I've indulged in this, but we'll see what happens. --Merzul 22:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Right then, I'll retrospectively rephrase: A dog might be of interest, allowing the reader (if he or she wished) to speculate on various possible implications for this organization of its recognition of the professional skills and qualifications of live as well as dead quadrupeds. -- Hoary 23:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I call shennagians. If an animal can be given membership, the membership has NO credibility, LEAVE in article.Dmanning 08:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's an edit summary I don't understand for an edit I don't understand: removed thing about animals -- add a proper section if you want to, otherwise leave it out. In a word, why? -- Hoary 00:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
