    I have a question. Is it being implied that it was intentionally added by the grain supply companies to make the grain seem "richer?" Or is it being implied that the dog food companies used grains they knew were "supplemented" to make the dog food appear to have more protein. I have heard it said in such a way I am not sure who is accusing who of what anymore. Of course whichever way, we would have to assume that the companies were unaware of the possible side effects. (?)

    Then they need to change the laws that ONLY ingredients grown in our own country be used for us and our pets consumption... They know we will pay for a safer product so why would that be a problem?

    I think this is a great idea for the pet food industry to adopt. We place
    our trust in their companies.

    I agree it was probably done intentionaly but probably not done with
    malice. Big bucks $$$$$ was probably the motivation.

    A pig farm in California has been quarantined because the farmer fed his pigs the recalled pet food and the urine samples from pigs show traces of melamine. Apparently, this farm only produces pigs to be killed for individuals, so not a mass-production enterprise.

    Dick Van Patten owns a pet food store here in my town - he's had to recall the brands of food he sells......

    this is madness.

    I really don't like to watch news very often, but i have to admit that when i heard it was done on purpose. i broke down crying and had to call my mom.

    the only thing these corporate giants understand it class action lawsuit. Remember Erin Brockovich. ahem.
