No, Toto, This Isn't Kansas - It's the FDA: US Pet Food Fiasco Pt. 2

Originally posted April 8, 2007 but has since been removed:

Wheat gluten has no reason to be in pet foods other than an appetite stimulant, however I don't see any pet food manufacturer admitting this (or human food producers since it's in everything we purchase that is not raw).  They indicate it's for the protein, however one would think the protein content would be derived from the meat.  They indicate it's for the gravy consistency, however there's no gravy in dry food, other than the profits.  Eat more/buy more/gain more weight/get sick - great for the economy, medical  and pharmaceutical industries, and we as well as our pets have swallowed it.  Time we start spitting.

Well, well, now we learn the Menu Foods CFO sold half his shares of Menu Foods stocks (reportedly close to $90,000 US dollars worth)  three weeks before the massive botched recall.  Imagine that. 
Says he knew nothing about it.  Imagine that.
FDA still apparently is not revealing all the pet food manufacturers who'd purchased the supposedly tainted wheat gluten.  Imagine that.  One only had to do the math with the 792 metric tons purchased compared to what was recalled to see it was not all accounted for.  How much is that?  Had it been TNT detonated it would have registered 4.2 on the Richter Scale.  But we're still feeding it to our pets, and the price we paid for those foods is going into their cold, lifeless, consciousless pockets.

FDA's gone MIA.

We've heard nothing from ChemNutra - they've gone MIA as well.

Pets are still dying at an alarming rate.

This country is out of control, and it's time we start pulling in the reins.  These people simply do not care, and unless we get a grip on this, they will walk away millionaires scot free.  To those organizing the Senate hearings next week?  Doesn't matter who they are - we are behind you and plead with you to hunt down and prosecute these heartless, greedy pathetic excuses for mankind.
