Woman sick after eating tainted pet food

[Catty1]

But I bet you ravioli has less nutrition than dog food. It's crappy for protein.

I don't know about Canada, but in the United States of America, it's fairly common for poor people to eat pet food because they can't afford human food. But it's not often they'll admit it, because they're afraid of ridicule or pity.

My Mom fed my Step-Father cat food once. She was making his sandwhich and thought she was giving him canned tuna. It ended up being tuna alright.....canned tuna cat food. He ate it.

Ok think about this.. Why would a human eat dog food? BABIES!!!
I'm sure most of us as little ones got into the dog food more then once & was eatting it. I wonder how many babies are gonna be ill off of this recall?!?!

LOL one night my husband was throwing a batch of the premade cookie dough in the oven for me.... they were Peanut butter cookies and had peanut butter chips on them....

AFter putting them in the oven he was doing a quick clean up... he saw, what he thought, was a peanut butter chip... he popped it in his mouth and then suddenly he started coughing and spitting and rinsing his mouth with water.... LOL I was wondering what was going on. It was a piece of dog food LMAO.

HAHAHA!!

When we got our old dog (1994) we all tried his food & treats... All tasted pretty bad.. too dry & hard.. Now we all learned a quick lesson, those bacon strips smells really good, but OMG PUKE!!!

LOL.... I must admit.... I have eaten milk bones before... but I am not brave enough to try those soft treats lol

My cousin (more like my sister) used to taste her dog's food if it was switched. She said she wanted to know how it tasted before coaxing the dog to eat it. I know it's a little weird, but I've done weirder things for the good of my pets

[caseysmom]

The vet my daughter volunteers with tries dog food sometimes....he is a great guy and the dogs are just one of the family members to him..

I am sort of surpirsed by everyone's critisism of this woman, I wouldn't do it but why judge?

Some people,I live 25 minutes away from ottawa and have never heard this story until now..lol

The little dog we had (omg so many yrs ago) Missy, was the pickiest eatter, going days without eatting anything... If you pretended to eat her food as if it was your, then handed her some, she would gobble it up.

With my old dog, I liked it when he would drool like crazy for a treat. So I would take a milk bone & would bite it & say mmmmm (thinking EWWWWW! why am I doing this again!).. He would drool like crazy, then I'd give him his treat & give him the piece I bit off

Hmmm.... Cam was trying to eat doggy food, but it was dry and not one morsel actually made it past the lips. Now, if there was wet food in the bowl? Nicki wouldn't have let Cam anywhere near the bowl!

Poor woman, but seriously, I love my pets but I'll never, ever, ever eat wet pet food. Pouncer's refusing to eat his very expensive prescription wet food.... do you think I'm going to taste it and make yum-yum sounds for him? Heck no!

I can't help but feel this is a reason for a law suit. How much food must she have eaten in order to get any reaction? It had to be many cans' worth, because in human poisoning, their murderer/attempted murderer gave them lots of rat poision in their food over time before their bodies started to show symptoms. If you're just trying to make the food seem yummmy, you're going to take a spoonful of the food at most. I am not a doctor (but play one on forums ) but one spoon can't have resulted in a serious health crisis.

D

I knew a lady years ago... her dog would not eat.... UNLESS... she was sweeping the floor near the dogs food. LOL how strange... When she would sweep she would take the food off the floor... sometimes she would forget to set it back down (she was elderly) the dog figured out that when the broom came out it meant the food was going away.... so now she has to take the broom out and start sweeping and the dog will gobble up the food. HA isn't that funny lol

Our dog Lacy is like that. But we have to actually lick the food before she'll take it. Most of the time we try to have one of the other dogs lick it instead but that doesn't always work.

Good point there... I'm almost sure she was eatting it as a meal, as she was prob. too poor to afford real foods. If a can has enough nutrition (I know many are junk) for a dog, then it'll be enough to keep her from starving to death. I know what its like to not see a meal for days at a time. & the meal you do get is only pasta, with a little hamburger.. it makes dog food look really good. I neaver ate it, I cannot stand the stench or the thought lol so I lost 50lbs in 2 months & became ill for many many months... I'm still not that healthy for going 4 days with nothing, then a meal, then another 4 days of nothing... I don't know how many times I ate bad or dried food as I was that hungry. When I got a small bonus from work, I'd buy as much hamburger & pasta as I could. Then I'd cook & freeze it.





For those of you who are judging her, just think of what I posted. Starving sucks... REAL starving sucks, not OMG I'm a couple hours late for dinner & I'm starving, HA I never complain like that anymore ... It makes you mad & you'll eat anything, or just about anything & dog food is atleast gonna keep you decently healthy, prob a heck of a lot healthier then I was. Always try to put your feet in someone elses shoes, if you can bare too.
