facts on dog foods

Even 5 years ago doesn't relate to recent advancements in technology and processing.

Gee I was under the impression that we don't eat dogs and cats because we're a civilized country!

Are you saying that more care is taken when processing food for farm animals than when processing food for pets?

Unfortunatley - yes. They can only add certain things in horse, cattle lamb etc feed because we consume them.. It is a sick fact.. doesnt that make your blood boil? It does mine.. Ethoxyquin and certain levels of bha and bht are not allowed in foreign markets because they do consume dogs and cats. Sick isnt it??/ But true!

Yes it would make me angry if that's the case. Do you have any suggestions where I can find current information on that?

You keep switching back and forth on this between "won in court" and a settlement with a gag order. Won in court would mean a trial, jury verdict, etc... which against a major company would have been published and easily found. A settlement is a different matter entirely, and is normally the company saying screw it, it's going to cost us more to go to court than settle it, and there are normally gag orders attached to that type of settlement.

Frankly, I don't believe the chain of events as you have posted them.

On what bluebird- what countries eat dogs and cats? Some of the Asian countries. They also have a ban on ethoxyquin.
If I remember right, its still banned in Canada and England. ( but they dont consume dogs and cats.. at least not to my knowledge. )

The MSDS for ethoxyquin lists and LD-50 at 800mg/Kg acute oral toxicity. For such a "dangerous" product that is an unusually high LD-50. THe MSDS also lists no known carcinogenic effects, just contact irritation.

So does hydrogen peroxide, but if injested it will cause vomiting.
No offense, but I am supposed to be resting with major surgery coming this week.
I noticed alot of people were feeding raw, and felt safe to share my story with you all. Most are in a agreement. If what you are feeding works for you fine- mine does now, but really I am not interested in a witch hunt . Talk to you later on other posts- take care..

Basically, if you can't back up the post with scientific facts, don't make the accusations.

BTW,H2O2 causes vomiting mainly because it is a base, mixing a base with acid causes the creation of gas, gas bloats the stomach and causes vomiting. (unless ingested in a strong enough concentration to cause tissue damage, then you have more to worry about than the vomiting)
