Effects Of The Lunar Effect On Full Moon

For centuries, people have been blaming weird things on the moon. Dogs and cats are howling? It's a full moon. You see a weirdo hairy dude acting odd at the market?

It showed that 23% more cats came in during the moon and 28% more dogs came in. Another study was done by the the British Medical Journal showed that twice as many people came in with animal bites. In 1995 a study was done by the University of New Orleans showed that cops and hospital workers were the strongest believers that the moon causes people to commit crimes during the full moon. Or at

There is no real way to prove that the moon caused you beat some guy or that is caused your dog to attack the guy walking down the street. Eric Chudler, who was has studied the Lunar Effect at the University of Washington explained why it pretty much impossible to prove that the moon causeses bad things. “We would have have to perform an experiment and control all factors except for the moon. So, for example, you would take someone to a place with no full moon like on another planet and then compare the behavior to someone in the exact situation where the moon is full.” So since we can't do that it is impossible to say that the moon is
