p.s.... if this many humans had e-coli from Spinich that is all the news would be covering.
If this were affecting humans, it would be lead story every night, front page news, etc.
The only reason it's picking up momentum again is NOT because of the number of animals dying (apparently that's not a story)... it's because of OTHER aspects of the story: the contaminant not being a certainty, the number of companies doing recalls, the addition of Dry food, etc.... anything BUT the actual sickness/dying of pets is the story at this point.
And did you see that in addition to Hills and Purina, now Del Monte has made some recalls too.
Saturday night recalls - when the corporate offices of all the pet food distributors and retailers in the country are NOT IN, so the foods will go another 2 days (at least) before being pulled from shelves. Sigh.
