I think the key will be finding out who actually knew the rat poisen had been sprayed on the food? Even if it was approved for use in Canada, I find it hard to believe that spraying it on a food source is one of the approved uses! Hopefully all pet food manufacturers are going to take notice and do some thorough checking before using a supplier from now on. It was interesting that one reporter kept asking if they had ruled out deliberate contamination - he didn't get an answer. The "few" deaths quoted are only the ones that are confirmed so far - obviously the number will grow over the next week or two. Sadly, many of the lost pets were buried or cremated before the recall came out. I really hope they can get some compensation (not that ANYTHING can compensate the loss of a beloved companion!).
