It is 'up the hill' from P1 - Tyson Live Kill Plant. they were Holly Farms Plants until 1988's hostile takeover. I guess the USDA started with Holly Farms as their first certified facility. Hi:

At least ffor now. The only reason I can figure they'd only recall in steps is to try and help the pet industry save what little profits they can, right? What the H*LL happened to "better safe then sorry?" And why the hell aren't they fired yet for their incompetence? What is happening to this country..it seems like they honestly don't give a damn about the innocent animals they've killed , nor protecting those they haven't yet! I really sound like a nutcase..sorry. It just never ceases to amaze me how cruel some people are.

Think about it..overall does anyone truly believe the govt cares about anything but what goes on in their own little world? Being a military wife...I know the real deal. The govt has shown to be a huge failure in this recall (and other things) so why not gather some qualified pet lovers to assure the laws are followed? I see it as you will fight for what you truly believe in and protect the ones you love with all your heart..right? And I've seen more love and dedication to our pets in this one blog alone then any asticles out there from the pet food industry. Why does it have to be the govt that handles pet food safety?

The chickens and cows are penned up and crowded too, fed processed food with animal digest (chicken poop) in it. They are also fed bone meal -- yep -- our chickens and cows are now officially cannibals. These practices are what started the rogue proteins that cause mad cow disease. And you cannot kill like bacteria by cooking it! In addition, these practices have caused the cows' stomachs to be higher in acid than they should be -- the ph levels are askew. This in turn allows the e-coli to grow uncontrolled. (If the ph balance is correct the cows stomachs are inhospitable to the e-coli and it dies before it is excreted.) Then the run off from the cow farm gets on the vegetables growing, and of course, many farms use the manure. :> ( puke puke. Joyce - your 1st post —

Huh? ChemNutra is an American based company (yup, it’s an american company that Menu used) BUT, BUT, BUT, they freakin’ imported from China. Why do you all believe them if they say their products are US based?? My next question would be . . . “But how do I know YOUR suppliers didn’t get it from China?” Get it??? Please tell me that!!!

That makes no sense at all when they will be sold to us! I think that's a bunch of crap too. There's just no way..I hope their lives get ruined like those who've lost their pets have.

This poultry may already be in our pets dry and wet foods or on its way in and nobody will know. I've seen nothing that even addresses the potential harm for pets and only that it won't "hurt" humans. Are we ready for another disaster in the making?

What about the 2 companies that the FDA refuses to name? Has anyone heard the latest on that? There's alot of different stories going on and I was wondering if anyone has heard any mention of rendering plants or companies who knowingly buy this garbage? Maybe I'm being too paranoid..I just think that's the real reason our babies are getting sick.

Havent received them yet. You might check on the internet - most labs will allow you to send it to them by mail. I still think the companies should be sending the products to have them tested not the consumer. I ordered treats from Three Dog. Havent received them yet.
