Maybe a judge will issue a restraining order and just shut 'em down. There needs to be a big lock put on those plants. We sure don't need more of their poison in the food supply.

How do you know there's quality in your bag if you don't perform adequate testing? Steve,

I agree. How do you know there’s quality in your bag if you don’t perform adequate testing?

A PET OWNER, just like the pet owners who begged Nutro for months, who pleaded for info and were told that "all is well, nothing is wrong with the food, go away". It came as a total surprise to Nutro my lily white butt! They have known for months. I am not impressed. A PET OWNER had the food tested, not Nutro.

Would you like to have a little wine and cheese over at Rocky's house. I'll bring the wine and you can bring some cheese. Might be helpful to just clear the air, and then you can explain how this debacle happened. Sounds like a swell time. What do you think? Oh, can you bring along those QC reports? I'd like to have a look, too. Hey Dave,

One last question. How long do you think MELAMINE had been in our pets food? Maybe since 1999?

Also, we'd like to know what your melamine levels were at your SHIPPING INSPECTION. Did you take some samples of the actual FINISHED PRODUCT, before you shipped it out for our pets to eat? How about aminopterin? That's rat poison. Did you test for that? It's in the gluten too. You might want to contact the NEW YORK STATE TESTING LAB and have them run the test. Maybe your MANUFACTURING PROCESS removed all of that. How about formaldehyde? That's grain fumigant. Did you test for that? That FDA vet told a Canadian newspaper they were testing for formaldehyde? Do you know if they found any? Gee, if only we could see your test results. Then we could be sure that your SO-CALLED QUALITY PRODUCT is really a QUALITY PRODUCT. See those words in caps? Look those up in your QUALITY CONTROL HANDBOOK. That stuff's in there for a reason - not just to make FDA happy when they inspect your plant. Maybe if you'd run a few tests for a change, we could avoid these MASSIVE SYSTEM BREAKDOWNS. Yes, I know FDA and EPA and all the other A's don't require you to test for melamine--all thanks to NOVARTIS and the World Health Organization in 1999. But isn't why you guys make THE BIG BUCKS. So you can figure out what the H _ _ L your company OUGHT to be doing. HERE'S A QUESTION: IF A LADY IN CALIFORNIA CAN TEST FOR MELAMINE, WHY CAN'T YOU. Hey Dave,

They wanted to make a few more bucks before their product was actually linked to a few deaths. Now that everyone knows what they are capable of and who's pockets they really care about, the doors of Nutro should be closed for good. Anyone know if they are publically traded? If so,..bet the CFO sold out a few weeks ago! 2Catmom hit it right on the nose!!!! They wanted to make a few more bucks before their product was actually linked to a few deaths.

They were getting reports of pets dying after eating their canned food for weeks if not months. They didn't care. A really good company would have pulled all their products containing wheat gluten made by Menu Foods regardless of any reassurances from MF. But its much easier to turn a blind eye, rake in the $ and then blame Menu Foods when the sh*t hits the fan. Way too little, way too late.

They are a little late. It took the life of a pet(s) before they recalled their product knowing that MENU FOODS made the food and there was a possibility it contained the toxins. I would have applauded them had they pulled it from the shelves and had it tested first. Little to late boys! I dont applaud this move by Nutro. They are a little late.
