I didn't catch this. When/where did it happen? I've looked but can't find
anything about it on the internet. Would like to read about it if I can. Thanks, Purplecat Me, too, Purplecat. I've never heard about the overturned pet food truck, and would like to read the article. sherry It probably never happened. I suspect that it was made up. Wouldn't have proven anything even if it did happen. There are too many people out there just waiting to be offended or scared these days. |

You beat me to it. I have been searching for this article on the internet

Holmes By-products to be exact. Unfortunately, we lived about 2 miles from this thing. I think the EPA finally got after them to take care of the stench. When there was a fog, it was the most horrible thing you could imagine other than finding the products on the way to it on the road. Linda |

The details of the story are different than what I expected, given the previous posts. No wonder I couldn't find it. |

(GAUBSTER2) wrote in message ... I've seen the book and don't fall for her scare tactics. Most of the research that she did was in the 60s and 70s. Most of what she alleges in her book is illegal (at least here in the US) nowadays. The version I read was recently updated. But still contains the same innuendo or her first book. Almost all of the major brands include euthanized cats and dogs in their formula Not true. It is illegal here in the US. I don't think it is enforced or checked on at all, though. Yes it is checked and it is enforced. Less than two years ago the FDA and USDA undertook another major study of pet foods and found no trace of such ingredients in the major pet food company products. I'll let you in on a little secret. Once a pet food ingredient enters a pet food plant (regardless of it's quality), it is automatically designated as "unfit for human consumption". I am not an unreasonable person, but the concept of a diseased animal, a cow with mad cow disease, etc, being fed to my cat, does concern me. You may not be "unreasonable" but you are falling for scaremongering tactics with absolutely no foundation in fact. You need to step back just a bit. Follow the money trail. How can Anne Martin sell a book if it doesn't contain horrific claims? who would be the least bit interested in a book extolling the virtue of anything as mundane as pet foods? How does the media sell TV add time if they can't entice you with little teasers caliming to have horrific facts to impart. There is a multi-billion dollar economy in selling fear to anxious consumers. Books like Anne Martin junk, videos, TV, Radio and rpint media all climb on the bandwagon if it will sell advertising space. Don't let yourself fall victim to scaremongering. IAMS/Eukanuba has been in the press for allegations of this sort. Science Diet doesn't do the types of things that she alleges. If you are concerned, call the companies in questions and she what they have to say. Apparently many of these test are kep under wraps. She got her reports by interviewing scientists at the schools. I suppose it could be untrue, but it is still disturbing, esp. reading the listings of the exact experiments which were conducted "she" is full of BS with a capital B. Science Diet has not funded any invasive studies in nearly 20 years. Period! No, its the prospect of a cat or dog being unnwittingly forced into cannibalism, or eating diseased animal parts that scares me. It simply isn't true of any of the premium pet foods so find something else to worry about. Perhaps worry about the nutrients that affect your cats long term health perhaps? |
