ARBA's RHD Pages
We used to have detailed links to ARBA on this page, and found they change frequently. There are some links in our article regarding the First Outbreak. This link will get you to their current RHD Start Page. Due to the APHIS and Australian inspired misinformation given on these pages, we hesitate to link to them. There is some good info however, and so we are including this link. Their Policy and Response to APHIS pages are important parts of the RHD in the US historical record.

There no links to CISRO of Australia above.
We have chosen not to support this organization, which is being paid, by the Australian Government, to release RHD in Australia and has actively generated support for their actions. We find this to be an irresponsible action and therefore will not lend any credibility to their propaganda by linking to it.
If you know of another site we have missed with factual information about RHD, Please Let Us Know!
