like that without a hot link?
Do you think Freepers
won't know the difference

Their information came from Menu Foods internal pet feeding testing which yielded the dozen or so deaths from only 50 pets in their sample group.
Not good odds. They sat on this information for three weeks and the CFO sold his much of his stock before it was released.
Over a 100 brands of pet food have been recalled over the last six weeks, thousands of pet deaths have been reported by owners and veterinarians and now the contamination has been found in dozens of poultry and hog producers.
I suggest you read up on the topic before dismissing the extent of this ongoing problem,
