Editorial & Fact-Checking Policy
How we research species exhibits, investigate myths, and maintain objective curatorial integrity.
1. Research & Fact-Checking Methodology
Every species exhibit placard and mythbuster investigation on PetEatSafe Museum undergoes multi-step verification. Information is cross-referenced against authoritative sources including veterinary manuals, zoological species databases, ASPCA records, and peer-reviewed companion animal literature.
2. Mythbusters Verdict Standards
Our Pet Mythbusters investigations evaluate common pet-keeping claims using 4 distinct verdict stamps:
- MYTH — False claim contradicted by veterinary/zoological evidence.
- MIXED — Contains partial truth, but requires critical nuance or context.
- CONTEXT — True under specific conditions or species subspecies only.
- TRUE-ISH — Supported by verified data and expert consensus.
3. Community Submissions & Moderation
Future user submissions (species photo contributions, myth inquiries) are strictly moderated prior to build deployment. We do not publish unverified medical claims, copyrighted materials, or promotional content.
4. Independence & Transparency
PetEatSafe Museum remains independent. Curatorial verdicts are never influenced by affiliate partnerships or advertising sponsors. Display advertisements are kept non-intrusive and separate from exhibit content.
