Hmmm custom slaughterhouse huh?

Sooner or later something is going to hit the fan. It’s not enough that 1000’s of pets have been killed by these sheisters, we may be next.

...criminal investigation of Americans but no problem with the PLA in China? That goes with our current anti-defense, left/liberal paradigm.

Another failed English major? Pitiful writing.

Hey Carolyn...you might want to get this out there, too;


Jay Edelson, the attorney who is suing Menu Foods and the pet companies,
wants to hear from anyone and everyone whose pet was sick or died as a
result of the recall food.
.
He needs to hear from shelters and independent rescue groups who lost
pets.
.
Bear in mind we are getting complaints of deaths that go back to
November, with speculation that food was tainted as early as last
September.

So please post an announcement to all of your many groups to contact
Attorney Jay Edelson, jay@blimlaw.com.
.
His firm has filed suit, has been before Congress, and will be going
back to Congress and will be filing more suits. We need ALL THE
AMMUNITION we can get. We need to also round up as much tainted food
as possible. The companies are destroying evidence. So post
everywhere you know to post to have anyone contact Jay.
.
I know there are other law firms involved, but since Jay’s firm has
already filed suit and has direct contact with Congress, that is our
single best resource to get action.
.
Even if they only have tainted unopened food, they need to contact
Jay. If they suspect illness or death, have them contact Jay.
.
