It was not on the label, that’s right. And it was expensive food, and you thought you were doing the right thing by buying it.
And THIS IS WHY REGULATION BY GOVERNMENT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
Everybody on the right is screaming all the time that if we would just deregulate, everything would be better. Well, there was a time when we didn’t regulate. And we had cholera, and food poisoning from tuna all the time. Pet food is not regulated like human food, and guess what, the same basic human greed that made it such that unregulated human food was deadly, makes unregulated pet food deadly. Men are greedy. Men in business, a certain number of them, will do whatever they can to make more money. Buy crap from China and put it into food, and sell it at a high price? They will if they can. The only way to STOP them is to have GOVERMENT REGULATORS watching over them, monitoring them and setting rules.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION IS VITAL TO PROTECTING HUMAN LIFE.
But you will get 400 people on this site screaming that government regulation is the ENEMY, and if we just let businesses alone, that we would compete better and have more problem. No. If we deregulate food, we will have more dead people. We need to regulate pet food MORE, that means MORE GOVERNMENT, MORE RULES, MORE of those things that business screams about. Because if they DON’T have regulators breathing down their necks, a certain number of private businesses will absolutely, with 100% certainty, cut corners, put cheap Chinese products into their foods, and kill our pets.
That’s the way it is. You can have food safety and heavy government regulation, or you can have light government regulation and more dead people, just like we did before we had regulation. It is a fantasy that we can have safe food without a large government agency constantly inspecting, putting regulations on food producers and breathing down their necks.
Then logically, imported food must have equal regulation to be safe. China will not even approve visas for FDA to rubber stamp--I mean inspect Xuzhou et al. If the products are to be imported, FDA needs to be there, EPA needs to be there, OSHA and the rest need to be there from the rice paddy to the processing plant. Xuzhou/Futian should pay for this service. While we're at it, they should have to pay Algore for carbon credits too since it looks like that will be the latest new tax to afflict American business.
“How was your march?”
___________________________________________
Well it was about 100 degrees here for it, only about 20 people showed up.
But we did get good news coverage.
I have seen myself on the news here, about 6 times asking for better pet food and human food regulations. Not long segments but at least getting the word out about the food inspections.
I did say on camera that, if my pet died and so did my son’s dog a week later, then there are only 14 other pets nationwide that have died, told them it was ridiculous.
Something is being hidden and has to be investigated.
I also said on camera that I wasn’t there just for my dog, as nothing can be done for him now, but I was there to speak out for my family and grandchildren and everyones family as this has hit the human food chain, big time.
(Hate when I look fatter on tv, lol.)
I did send off postcards of my dog to Senators in Washington, as did others with the March and hopefully it will make an impact on those no good bums there.
Someone at the March had a on line pet petition to sign, here is the url.
Check it out everyone.
It looks like few people are really getting involved right now, but,

There is a big article on the front page of our newspaper this morning called FOOD CRISIS WIDENS, but I cannot find the link.
The paper is the Las Vegas Review Journal, if anyone can find it and post it, that would be good.
