That is exactly what I think too. People often post links on here, but the majority of the time, there is some other text with it! Not just a link... it makes me not want to open them, or give them a second glance...

Is this an essay forum? No

Or a Thesis forum? No

When have I done that????? Never

No.
I`ve fed my dogs raw chicken for many years. We have not had any digestive upsets.

Jet, I've handed a copy of a paper to a colleague in the past without saying a word, it made a point and their practice changed, at times a catalyst is needed.
You seem keen on promoting that you work in research yet are disparaging of research when it’s brought to bear on a subject?

Now it would be nice if you et al would try to post on subject as , I repeat,

“Straw men are ever the last resort, those that are unable to attack the veracity of the content posted instead attack the poster or how its posted.” ( Sandymere 2012)

I’m embarrassed for you.

Oh god some random on the internet is embarrassed for me, hang on and I'll go rip up my doctorate in shame!!!

P.S. Being able to critically read research articles, and put one paper in the broader context of the entire field is the deciding difference between people like me and people like you

This is in response to your post #42
about my comment in my post #40 where I said

Did I mention you? No.

Did I say you did that? No.

Did I even say it happened here on Dogsey? No.

But if the cap fits...

...oh, and that includes using such tracts but changing the wording to sound as if they are the poster's own words.

Popcorn anyone?

Then lets see your research!
From Wiki, "A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position"

Even more embarrassed for you , still can't go beyond personal attacks, and waving a doctorate .
Please try to post on topic, just for once.

tip-toes quietly away.......

When I started this thread it was just to get peoples' reaction as one of my dogs often suffers from upset tummies on a fairly regular basis. They are not raw fed at the moment but I was seriously thinking of changing to raw but then heard about the bacteria thing and I was simply interested in getting your views. Having said that I have just found a food that they both love and it agrees with them ('Orijen') so I daren't 'rock the boat' right at this moment with changing again as and my very sensitive one is now putting some weight on etc etc. which he wasn't putting weight on with the Burns.

I didn't expect this thread to turn 'nasty' ...... hope I'm not blamed for this

You're quoting a few lines from Wiki against someone who has a Doctorate and you're embarrassed for THEM.......really???
