I think it a high time everybody take caution on whatever they consume especially those in Africa.They should check date of manufacturing and the expiry date on any product they consume.Peace and love to you all

I see that Diamond is recalling some canned food. It may be contaminated with mealmine. This is on the dachshundnetwork board. It is under Cat Channel.

Until we throw the bums out of Washington this kind of fox guarding the hen house will continue to go on until we are all dead. Have any of you flown on Southwest Airlines recently?

Anyone have a total as to how many pets have died since 2004 here in the USA from pedigree and other food made by Mars? Just reaffirms what I suspected that Beef n’ More gave my dog the cancer and the other canned foods & treats did her kidneys in. Thx again to Carol and Mal for finding and Itchmo for alerting us all to what has apparently been happening/going on and continuing to go on to this day. Greed & money will always supercede everything else while pets continue to drop dead.

Sandi, thanks for posting it over there. They now are only getting 29%, the thing that makes me not want to put my head through a wall is the readership on the consumerist. Its a bunch of geeks so of course they think downloading porn and illegal software is more important than our pets. :( Gah!

anonymous,
I’m afraid we wouldn’t be surprised “what came walking through the door” - after last year and everything I’ve learned and read here since March 2007 - nothing surprises me anymore.

I lost my cat and dog in 2004, the dog to lymphoma cancer but my cat we did not know why he became so sick. It was hills prescription food he was eating. it was for him to lose weight and I think it killed him. we have go to send a message to these companies, do not buy this cheap food. I still see people buying Iams, pedigree, Old Roy and all the others that killed so many of our babies. we are the consumers and we are the ones that can make or break these companies. take care everyone, Denise

OK I need to change my post above, it doesnt appear you have to register to vote, just if you want to write a comment. So that makes it easier for folks to go vote if you want to.

Kelly, I went and voted, too bad you have to register first but did it anyway. I hope you dont mind but I put your post in the forums at Itchmo so this can get more attention for action! Thank you for sharing this.

Hey folks the blog the consumerist is doing voting for the worst company in America and today it’s Comcast vs Menu Foods. Comcast is winning 70% to 30% because people think only 100 pets died and Menu did the right thing.
You may want your voice to be heard. Feel free to crosspost.

And it wasn’t just in Asia in 2004 IMO. One of my cats (USA) died in 2004, suddenly and mysteriously, with what I now recognize as the “classic” symptoms of MARF. This was during the same time period as the Asia recalls, and that cat was eating a Mars product at the time. Only one of my 5 who ate it, only one who suddenly got sick and died. At the time I would never have thought it was the food. I’ll bet there were others that went unrecognized, too.
