Uhm... no? That's what I'm trying to say, that underreporting does NOT account for all the "missing" numbers. We can not assume that 25% are born, since there is no evidence of that! The evidence says that around 10% are born alive, and the other 15% are not. Since apparently you have no interest in hearing what I'm trying to say, I'll stop. It was just an interesting educational point anyways, doesn't really matter.
These are NOT assumptions. There have been studies done for many, many years. I don't know why you say I am not interested in hearing what you have to say??? If I was not interested, I would not be reading and responding to your posts. I AM interested, but I can also disagree, due to the materials and findings that I have read about in regards to this subject over the years. I am VERY INTERESTED where you get this proof of that the numbers are different, due to (proven) statistics done. There should be reports of these statistics published somewhere, after necropsies/dna samples were performed on the fetuses? If not, there cannot possibly be proof that it is in fact happening, and if it is, I would love for you to share those facts with us. I am always learning, and I learn most by researching and reading, but as I said, I have not yet ever heard anything like that. So yes, PLEASE do share. I am sure there are many here, and in other breeds that carry the overo pattern that would love to learn of this new discovery also.
