This may sound like a strange question but I am serious.

Could the dog food contamination be an act of terrorism? Muslims think dogs are unclean but they know Americans love their pets.

OPINION: Food contamination in general could be an act of terrorism.
Investigators can/do determine whether terrorism is involved.

I have not heard/read of any update at this time that indicates terrorism was involved in the pet food recall.

Could be a dry run. Imagine if they contaminated Campbell's soup or McDonald's ketchup.
