Outstanding summary by Pet Connection detailing how Iams did what it's suppliers and the FDA would not do.

Note that Menu Foods had a 50% mortality rate (i.e. dead test animals) from their own internal live pet food tasting, and -sat- on the info until Iams advised they were going public.

IMHO Iams and other food producers should now be convinced that Chinese imports are bad for their bottom line.

Over three thousand dead cats and dogs from this debacle and in a week or two we will be reading about contamination in the human food supply.

Stay tuned!

>Over three thousand dead cats and dogs from this debacle
---------------------------------------------------------

"...The FDA has said at least 16 animal deaths
resulted from the tainted food, but said many more pets
may have been affected. ... A spokeswoman
from Banfield, The Pet Hospital, a national chain
of veterinary hospitals, said it
has confirmed six additional deaths."

[04/26/07 Wall Street Journal, "How Much Is Your Dog's Life Worth?" - print edition]

---------------------------------------------------------

That's 22 deaths
which are confirmed. Quite a leap
to "three thousand" plus.

You know, every day
lots of dogs and cat pass on
from natural deaths.

Fear mongering with
wildly bogus numbers
makes FR look weird.

I almost bought IAMS dry dog food for my babies the other day, after knowing this I just might give them a try.

I commend them for at least ‘doing something’, for recognizing that something was wrong.
