I agree, HOTD.

A vet was interviewed about it on one of our local stations this morning. He commended Diamond for the measures they have taken, saying the problem comes from molded corn used in the food. Says Diamond is a reputable company and will do the right thing.

I pray for all of the ones who have suffered because their pets have died, and for the ones who are suffering now.
