I wanted to add what a GREAT job PETA is doing on all of this - and I think alot of pet owners are finally waking up to what PETA has been saying for years.
Now, the source of the tainted wheat gluten:
As some of you know, this whole affair was ratcheted up on Friday when the FDA announcedthat the same tainted wheat gluten had also been used in DRY pet foods coming from at least one major manufacturer. But they refused to name the manufacturer, preferring to use our animals as guinea pigs.
I thought immediately, what if this was human food, and they announced that one bread manufacturer had used potentially fatal wheat in their bread, but they wouldn't announce which one..Can you imagine the outcry? (For all we know, this is next anyway..)
So, the next logical thought is..who is the FDA protecting? And by last night, of the three major grain suppliers to the pet food business, two had issued statements strongly denying that they do business with Menu Foods.
The third company, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) has been completely silent on this. They are also huge Bush and Republican party contributors...
Hmmmm..
