You might want to hold off on the salt shaker.
See http://www.petconnection.com/recall/ They are keeping track of the number of owner reported deaths. These are just the ones that have reported it to this site. How many don’t even know to report it there? The number is getting larger every day and is VERY alarming.
I don’t for a minute think “global warming”. I think the pet food industry is finally caught.
my friend, who lives in the country on 35 acres, frequently receives dumped animals, which her children love to feed. They normally feed scraps and some cheap dry food, but it just so happened that her animal-loving 18-yr-old recently decided to treat the dozen or so cats to canned food. All the cats died within a week, along with two of their three dogs. They have one dog left. A vet, who has cattle on her property, took a look at one of the dead dogs and said his gums were white, indicating poisoning.
I’m still skeptical of all this, too.
Of course, my dog is allergic and only eats food (from Canada, unfortunately) that comes through the vet. I don’t have to deal with gluten because she’d be allergic to it (never mind the meat).
Banfield being associated with PETSTUPID doesn’t bolster my confidence (ever wonder what happened to the dog Banfield held hostage from a woman in CT?). And you’re talking .03% if they’re close to right.
Actually, the biggest thing that bothers me is everyone getting on “the pet-food industry”. It’s not as if they’ve been constantly running into poison problems. How many decades has it all been in existence? This is apparently 1 shot; 1 bad lot of ingredients. It happens everywhere to everything. If they were “evil”, pets dying from this would have been happening for ages all the time. Why just now?
But it’s still interesting to see how this pans out. I believe there may be something wrong, but I don’t believe the old liberal “industry is evil” and they “did it on purpose”.
