Who is PIJAC? (PAWS related) PIJAC is the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council. PIJAC represents many of the manufacturers of pet products including kibble manufacturers. They are quite prominent and wield a good deal of power. They are represented by a Washington lobbyist. I would imagine their speaker will be Marshall Meyers. Marshall is an eloquent "opponent" of any ARO and PAWS unless he was recently transported to the Manchurian Candidate school. I have been working with him for over 10 years and he is our friend. Looks like Rick might be feeling some heat and that is a good thing. Paul ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
