This doesn’t come to a surprise to me, in my opinion they don’t care about us our pets or there would be a lot of changes made. Gee who do you think is running this country? Wall Street, the FDA and the good old Big Pharma guys is who I think has control over everything.
There has to be a way to get these guys under control or our lives and our pets lives will certainly suffer more in the days and years to come.
Anyway you have to read what Susan Thixton from the Truth about Pet Food Petsumer Report www.TruthaboutPetFood.com has to say.

So what this really means is that we as pet owners will have to be careful and read and know exactly is in our pets food because the one that should be looking out for them clearly doesn’t give an da##.
To You and Your Pets Health,
