Christie Keith and Gina Spadafori have been working tirelessly to get the news out to everyone regarding the pet food recall since the news broke. They have lost sleep and time. While those in power attempt to shift our attention to possibilities of human food contamination and whatever else they think they can wave in front of us like a hotdog in front of a golden retriever they have kept us on track.
There are VOLUMES of information over there and they deserve your time and voice. Go give them some love.
There’s little difference between e.coli in the spinach and someone PURPOSELY and without any regard to our pets safely putting POISON in our pets food. POISON. Actual, unadulterated POISON.
As Christie quotes daily from the FDA’s own website :
The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (U.S.C. Title 21, Chapter 9): “The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.”
Clearly the FDA is NOT doing their job.
Someone ALWAYS knows when their product is questionable. The spinach producers KNEW what they were doing. The meat processing plant KNEW what they were doing when they killed people with their tainted ground beef in the ’90s. Someone KNEW that the apple juice was NOT safe. SOMEONE ALWAYS KNEW. Someone KNEW. But they put it out there for us AND OUR PETS to consume ANYWAY.
From the Dolittler’s Blog
“Who sold this “surplus” food to pigs meant for human consumption? Was it appropriately labeled, “pet food recall last call”? Who bought it? Does anyone even know the withdrawal time for melamine in pigs? Its effect on pig physiology? Or did they swallow the “16-death” pet food company party-line and consider any potential porcine casualties acceptable losses?”

“Elder said pigs that ate this contaminated feed will not be allowed to enter the human food supply.
He emphasized, however, that “based on information currently available, the FDA and the USDA believe the likelihood of illness after eating such pork is extremely low. However, the agencies also believe it is prudent to take this measure.”
The pork from these animals will also be destroyed, officials said. And the USDA will compensate hog farmers affected by the tainted pet food. Owners of pets killed by the tainted pet food, on the other hand, get nothing.”
Do we believe them when they say it won’t enter the food supply? I DON’T. How is it that their way of getting rid of the tainted food garnered the seller and hog farmer income? Did it at least recoup their losses? I’m sure it does.

““What this appears to be is a case of deliberate contamination of wheat gluten in order to pass off substandard product,” Henderson told a U.S. House committee. “For a seller who knows how industry testing methods work, this would allow them to cheat the buyers.””
As if they’re the only ones who have ever done something underhanded and evil. They just happened to get caught.
