Thank you for at least realizing we\’ve got a problem. The difference between the two is that the e-coli was a naturally occuring organism that contaminated the spinach via water run-off and it came from the United States. The infected wheat gluten is contaminated with some kind of chemical (who knows which one? The \”experts\” can\’t even seem to agree…) and was imported into this country. Should Bush, himself, find the cause of the contamination? No. Would it be nice if he acknowledged there might be a problem? Well, I guess that would be a matter of opinion.

It\’s funny that you mention \”remain ignorant of the risks\”. Did you read the article I posted? It seems funny to me that Bush supporters would rather make entire posts about \”downfalls\” of the leftists rather than discuss the issue at hand. I don\’t recall this thread being labeled \”What are your opinions on the \’give peace a chance crowd\’ and their thoughts on the war?\”.
The article is about pet food lawsuits, however Rosie kicked things off with her post about Pres. Bush (see below for a reminder). She feels that since people won\’t get much relief from the courts, the \”administration\” should provide relief for this \”national tragedy\”, but Bush doesn\’t care \”about domestic issues\”.

since the courts can\’t provide relief, the only way this national tragedy can be appropriately dealt with would be through administrative action. If only we had a president who cared about domestic issues, this could be addressed. But Bush & Co. wouldn\’t want to harm the pet food industry profits. Thank God,,,658 days left\”
Hey, my real concern is for Ray Balaamababa. He told this wonderful story about going to Walmart and eating dogfood as a new part of his diet. I just want to make sure that Ray is OK and has not consumed any tainted food…
This food was processed in China and ended up in our pets food. Now, the larger problem is the total distribution of this stuff. How far and how many countries does this stuff end up in.
My point and concern is that if this pet food is killing our cats and dogs, I fear for the population of North Korea…
Well Mark, what does it say about us when instead of focusing on the issue at hand we just make the thread about Rosie. I guess that\’s why Anna Nicole Smith was in the news for weeks on end. It seems the citizens of this country would rather focus on a bunch of nonsense instead of what\’s important.
Also, parts of her post WERE true. Anyone who bought their animal from a shelter will get a whopping $50. Do you own a dog Mark? My dog is worth a whole lot more than $50 to me. Also, anyone who DOES own a dog may want to do a bit of research as to what exactly is in your dog\’s food. http://www.api4animals.org/facts.php?p=359&more=1
It\’s a crime that the pet food companies did not have the quality control in place to catch this before it hit the market. Unfortunately, the law does not protect the rights of pets to the same extent of people. Even though it\’s a tough message, the law is not going to change and certainly the president of United States should not be involved. He has staff to deal with this.
the companies that admitted the contaminant or recalled product, will lose significant business and most likely they will collect little by way of insurance.
We psnd more on our pets than the GDP of some countries.
Think about whats in your take out Chinese food these days. Look for the \”meat\’ to be offered at some really great prices, \’cause there is now a big supply.
Lisa, what does your dog taste like? Orange beef??

Wake up people.
