Who WIll Pay??!!!

When the new first came about about the tainted pet food from Menu Foods I was very worried.

Over 40 brands of cat and dog foods (mostly canned and pouch varieties) was making cats and dogs very sick. The cats would vomit, drink excessive water, their kidneys would then fail, they would lose excessive weight in a short period of time then die.

The list of foods did not just fall in the category of cheaper no-name brands but the trusted expensive foods also such as Iams and Eukenuba.

The recall is limited to "cuts and gravy" style pet food in cans and pouches manufactured at two of the Fund's United States facilities. These products are both manufactured and sold under private-label and are contract-manufactured for some national brands.

So while everyone is out buy the Overly High Priced Foods thinking it is the better pet food they might as well buy a decent food at a decent price with the same ingredients. (You are just paying for the name people!)

Back to the problem at hand.

A press release from Menu Foods stated: "The Fund has, however, discovered that timing of the production associated with these complaints, coincides with the introduction of an ingredient from a new supplier."

So Menu Foods has recalled a portion of their products but the damage is already done.

What about all those poor animals that suffered and have already died? Their owners heartbroken and distraught.

What about all the animals that are still alive but are now sick?

What about all the pet owners that have to take their beloved pet tot he vet and cannot afford treatment?

Who ends up paying for that? Who ends up paying for the bill?

Is their any action being taken? Any reimbursement from the pet food companies?

They introduce a new ingredient from a new supplier without even checking them out or testing the product and who ends up paying for it?

We do.

I have not heard anything about any compensation for those who have suffered a lose or who are currently dealing with the damage.

I will have to look into this and maybe write a few letters, emails etc.

I have two cats and a dog. All very precious to me. The thought of them eventually passing of old age disheartens me but for anything to happen to them before their time from some one elses negligence outrages me.

So far I am luckily blessed that they are healthy and happy. Lets hope it stays that way if not there will be HELL to pay!

When the ones I love are threatened or in danger I do whatever it takes to protect, fightback and see the wrong righted!
