Where the Facts on This Site Come From

Every rule, number and health statement on this site comes from one of the pages below, each with the date it was read. Each page on the site lists the specific sources it uses, and the About page explains how pages are drafted and checked against these sources.

Michigan state agencies

County and city agencies

Federal agencies

Michigan DNR pages (linked, not quoted)

Some pages link to these Michigan Department of Natural Resources pages for further reading. The site does not quote them or rely on them for the facts it states.

Census figures

Two city pages use a census figure, each listed above with the date it was read: Ann Arbor's share of owner-occupied homes (American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, table B25003, through the Census Reporter service) and Lansing's split across three counties (2020 Census).

Photographs

Animal photographs are public-domain images from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, credited on each page. The house photograph is from the Carol M. Highsmith Archive at the Library of Congress, whose item record states no known restrictions on publication.

How these sources become pages

Pages are drafted from quotes taken from these sources and checked against them before they go live. The About page explains how.

Corrections

If something here is out of date or wrong, tell Michigan Attic Animal Removal, with the source that says otherwise if you have it.
