They use an old formula 2 litters per year producing 8 pups per litter with 1/2
girls
first genreation: 1 bitch X 2 breedings = 16 puppies 1/2 female = 8 girls +
mom for next generation
Next generation : 9 bitches X 2 litters = [16 x 9 ] = 144 pups 1/2 girls = 72
bitches + 9 = 81 bitches
Next generation; 81 x 2 litters = [16 x 81] = 1296 pups 1/2 female = 653 + 81 =
734 bitches
Next generation: 734 x 2 litters = [16 x 734] ...........
See how quickly it grows.....
The numbers for cats are even more astronomical since queens can have 3 litters
per year but usually only 6 kittens per litter calculated. What they don't
take into consideration is that every bitch doesn't produce 8 pups per litter,
1/2 are not always girls, and most of these figure on a 7 year breeding span.
the average life expectancy of an animal even in a feral supported colony is
only two years so the numbers just don't jive.
Many years ago a friend of mine taught a class called Lying with Statistics.
It was a REAL eye opener.....
