Pet Central Petcast - 720 WGN - 4-18-07
Posted: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:00:00 +0100

This week’s “Picks of the Litter” are Kim Thornton and Dr. Deb Eldredge, authors of the book “The Everything Dog Owner’s Organizer,” which includes calendars, charts, checklists and schedules to keep your dog happy and healthy. Then, Steve talks with Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkins, who testified about the pet food recall during the oversight hearings of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Sub-Committee. Dr. Hodgkins believes, unlike Steve, that it’s easier and safer to cook your pet’s food yourself.

I’m assured the omission of Dr. Hodgkins’ interview was an oversight, and they’ll include the interview in the May 23 petcast.

I hope Ben goes on unedited… has anyone checked out the podcast of the April 25 show? ALL of Dr. Hodgkins interview is noticably absent. Mr. Ekendahl’s comment about refusing to be on with Dr. Hodgkins is edited out. All that remains are Mr. Ekendahls’ comments (and Steve Dale’s agreements) that commercial pet food is safe and more regulated than human food. “16″ dead per FDA, “6 reported” by Banfield. (No mention of Banfield’s report of hundreds SICK, just “6″ - the number dead.) Oh, and an interview with a woman who wrote a book on dog breeds.

Gee, I wonder who advertises on Steve’s show? Pet food companies, perhaps?

Steve also says “happily, hundreds likely dead, not thousands” posted AFTER the FDA’s release that says 4,150 reported dead.

I believe he had Sundloff from the FDA on this weekend.

Woof ~ Meow ~ and Thank you!

I have been e mailing and snail mailing all the major news networks like FOX,MSNBC,CNN and the regular tv networks,ABC CBS and NBC begging them to do indepth stories on this situation like they do on people we don’t even want to hear about any more that we’ve been bombarded with for months over and over but so far no luck.

Thank you for your tireless efforts

Kathy
