Pet Food Recall: PURINA UR (MAYBE)

I was talking about cat food. I had not noticed the crossposting. I was talking about pet food, in general. I hadn't noticed the cross- posting, either, but I felt it was important to point out that almost no large pet food company is free of problems in this matter. Purina might not have problems with their cat food, but they still had problems with some of their food. Because of that, they aren't any more trustworthy than Hill's in this matter (who also had two foods recalled--the savoury cuts line and m/d). Sorry for making it seem like there might be a company we can trust. What I meant was, "PANIC! NO FOOD IS SAFE! OUR FOOD IS PROBABLY NEXT! AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT BURGER YOU HAD FOR LUNCH IS PROBABLY CONTAMINATED!!! What I assume is sarcasm aside, people are already panicking. In fact, people seem to be panicking more about this than they are about any of the contaminated food (spinach, ground beef, lettuce) that killed humans, and those things were actually grown/raised in the US. To a certain degree, that worries me more than the pet food scandal. And there really aren't many companies (pet food or not) that can be 100% trusted. That's just a fact. I'm not panicking over it, nor am I getting paranoid. I just accept it, and then make any purchasing decisions based on the information I have on hand, and based on the least of all evils. rona |

Some people have seen the signs on the store shelves, but don't really even know much about the recall at all. It's been on the news, but not anything like the coverage given to the peanut butter thing. They're very blase about it. They'll just say, "Oh, yeah, I heard about that. But I feed Science Diet, so it's okay"..or something like that. So, I haven't seen any panic at all. I've actually seen too little concern about it. Sherry |

If they were Feeding Science Diet Dry, they WERE ok. There were no recalls on Science Diet dry "DOG" foods, and only one recall on Science diet dry prescription cat food. Which is even worse. You pay top dollar for a 'prescription' food that is supposed to help a medical condition, and it could kill your cat. Anyone who says the companies whose products were recalled have no culpability lives in a different reality than I do. Mustang Sally |

If a person was feeding a product not on a recall list, they need not sweat blood losing sleep over it Except that some people, myself included, do not want to buy food from any of the companies whose products were recalled.

You can worry yourself to death over possibilities. I'm not going to spent my lifetime in paranoia land Its not "paranoia land" to be furious with a company for being more concerned with cheap ingredients than the health of my pets. I'm not going to reward them with my money any more than I would walk into a pet shop that sells puppymill pups and become a regular customer of theirs. That's not paranoia, that's letting them know I don't support that practice. Big difference. Huge. Tara |

But I am neither stupid nor naive enough to think that because a food has not (yet!) been recalled, it is safe. There are thousands of dead and dying pets who were fed food that was not (yet!) recalled. I'm not going to spent my lifetime in paranoia land There is paranoia, and then there is sticking your head in the sand. Somewhere between the two is the land where reasonable people dwell. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |

The point is, because the recall started out small and keeps expanding, and includes so-called "premium" brands that people pay extra for, as well as "store" brands, we are supposed to believe that NO pet food is safe. It is horse ****. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
