Dawn, You are a special person who spends countless hours doing good for our fur-kids. Hopefully 'this' feeding frenzy against you will die down now. How like a child's tantrum , foot stamping and slamming the doors just because some do not agree with someones opinions or cautious notices. The saddest part on all this is we do not see this type of fury launched towards the careless ,money hungry and unfeeling Menu Pet Food company that has killed thousands of pets with this last screw-up ! ! ! ! It is so easy to attack a person while unseen behind the keyboard. For shame ! ~Shirley Dawn Restuccia <windwych@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: As with any major corporation, the bottom line is the profit margin. They have employees to pay, plants to operate, CEO's who want their bonuses. I am not FAULTING the companies...it is how they operate. Are they concerned about the loss of life?? I'm sure they are! But as one woman on our local news program put it, "whose going to pay the catastrophic vet bills for my dog??"..Potentially hundreds of people may find themselves facing a grim choice due to lack of funding to pay for any life support measures for the companion animals. This is NOT about the reputation of a company...this is about people putting their trust in a coroporation and because of either lack of inspection/communication or whatever, they are now watching their best friends die. The general public has every right to have the LEAST little tidbit of information so that they can make an informed choice as to what they feed! Right, wrong, or indifferent. If there is a one in one thousand chance that a specific food may even POTENTIALLY harm my dog, I would want to know! And let me make this last sentence PERFECTLY CLEAR FOR SOMEONE WHO DID NOT READ MY EARLIER POSTS...THE ABOVE IS JUST MY HONEST OPINION.
