Fascinating to see this thread developing into a "Why can't they eat dog food?" discussion. Very interesting.....so Kenyans have no right to object when somebody offers to feed them pet food (even as aid)?
Guess anything is okay in the name of charity.
I feed my cats Wellness cat food. If I were starving, I'd sure as heck eat that stuff.
They have the right to object if they like, I just don't think it's necessarily wise to.
Just when I thought I read everything on this website.
If a company offered to buy dog food to send them I could see being offended, but here a company that makes a wholesome and nutritious foodstuff intended for consumption by dogs but otherwise better food than many people in the world eat every day offers the food they have on hand to relieve a famine. One answer is a polite "No, thank you". IMHO the correct answer is "Yes, please, may I have some more, please". Should this guy make a decision to cause the death of children because of his own pride?
My opinion may be affected by a personal experience. I was working at a factory in a city I had never been to before. After several hours, I went outside to take a break. Outside the plant I could smell this delicious odor. I looked around and noticed for the first time that the factory I was working at was next door to a Purina plant.
'Recipe' brand canned dog food began as a beef stew for humans.
When it didn't go over well, the manufacturer dropped a dog biscuit into the can, hired "Lassie" to promote it and the rest is history.
