No offense taken, really. I can understand, now that I read your comments, how one would be cautious about believing this until proven.
I suppose in this “get rick quick, sue someone” society we live in, added to the rumors spread on the internet, it would be best to be cautious.
The call to the vet yesterday really panicked me, since I did feed my pets some of the food on the recall lists before. I also remember the Diamond Food recall and deaths from a year or so ago, so that added to my panic.
I’m not a DUer, hope I don’t come across as such. I am fanatical about my pets, they are my family, I love them, and get protective about them, as they would for me.
Hope I didn’t offend you, I apologize if I did.
And I hope to read more of your comments, you obviously know what you are talking about.
No offense taken girlangler. Like I said, I’ve loved and lost pets too and if one of my pets had been one of those sickened I would be very upset.
Those of us who haven’t suffered a loss of a beloved pet probably can step back a bit and be a little more patient while things come to fruition.
I have some concerns about the PC road being taken with China. I do not believe that our present government will be willing to upset trade relations with China. This could indeed become more than just a dog food issue.
What was interesting with my own dog group was that while there was alot of anger at the dog food companies only a couple of people seemed upset that we were not growing our own wheat and that we were importing foodstuffs from countries who have lesser food safety standards than we do.
For the most part the China factor was ignored. While not a poll by any means I thought the silence was interesting.
I will be curious to see how the press handles the China issue from here on. Any predictions?
