On top of insulting the intelligence of every grieving pet parent on a daily farking basis for months and then topping it off with an unseemly group grope session with the FDA and the PFI, people who cannot figure out to get on TV and say, “Crap, we have pets dying in the thousands from poison and we have lost our list of the vets phone numbers, yo, if you are a vet, if you know a vet, PHONE HOME!” do not have the smarts to trim a dogs toenails.

Like the Hills pet poisoners did not know how to reach the vets-HAH!

OH THEY TALK WITH THEIR OWN MEMBERS, YESSIREE.

Oh, sorry, they can’t, they might have gotten sued for saving lives if they were honest about what happened.

BINGO CATHY. THEY DON’T WANT TO BE THE DOG THAT BARKS TO ALERT THE PUBLIC TO THE PETFOOD MURDERS

AMEN. AND MAYBE *WE* SHOULD FIND OURSELVES SOME REAL ANIMAL HEALTH ADVOCATES. NOW THAT WE KNOW THE SCORE. THEY DO EXIST. NO ONE SHOULD BELIEVE THE AVMA IS ALLKNOWING AND ALTRUISTIC.

A.C. :He thinks the AVMA acted EFFICIENTLY? As A PLAYER FOR THE PUBLIC?

AGAIN, [P U K E H E R E]

I am sure 1,000’s of people were advised to now buy pet food from their vet

YOU BET YOUR EFFING SOCKS THEY WERE. YOU’VE GOT THE PICTURE!

(even though vet$ had to call client$ to recall some of their food$). I still don’t understand how most vet$ can possibily believe that a dry kibble food can be healthy for a pet.

WELL THE WORD IS NOW GETTING OUT. OUR PETS HAVE PAID WITH THEIR LIVES FOR THIS OUTRAGE. AND VET$ HAVE CRIED ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.

It is sad when some people promise to look after our pets, receive a Dr. designation, use the words “forthcoming” and “trust” but know so little about what healthy nutrition is really all about.

BRAVO BRAVO

A fish rots from the head down and so we know where the problem starts.

INDEED WE DO AND THE STINK HAS REACHED PETOWNERS ALL ACROSS AMERICA. NEXT TIME THEY THROW OUT A HOOK, OH, SAY, VACCINES THAT CAUSE SARCOMA AT THE INJECTION SITE OR ARE BEING [15 YRS AFTER THE FACT] INVESTIGATED FOR ANIMALS DEVELOPING ANTIBODIES TO THEIR OWN ORGANS…………..

JUST SAY HELL NO.

GOOD POSTS.

RIGHT ON: These are NOT vets, these are parasites.

THERE WASN’T A WAY TO FUND THAT BECAUSE THE AVMA, LIKE THE FDA, IS A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF INDUSTRY GREED AND CORRUPTION.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE AVMA FUND LAB TESTS TO PROTECT ANIMALS? ONLY SOMEONE WITH A MOTIVE AND DESIRE TO HELP WOULD DO THIS. THE AVMA IS A PACK OF FILTHY PROFITEERS GETTING RICH OFF SICK ANIMALS. EASY TO SEE THAT ANIMALS MUST CONTINUE TO GET SICK, IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR COFFERS FULL.

NOTHING IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A PROPAGANDIST WHO BELIEVES THE PROPAGANDA. BUT I’D HARDLY GIVE DRAINO EVEN THAT MUCH CREDIT. LYING BAG OF BARF.

IS THAT INVESTIGATIONS OR - AHEM- $$$CONSULTATIONS W YOUR INDUSTRY PIMPS

WHOA! Is this for real? Hammerhead is PLEASED? He thinks the AVMA acted EFFICIENTLY? As A PLAYER FOR THE PUBLIC?

I’m stunned. How he can say that and not choke is way, way beyond me. The AVMA didn’t act for the public, or for the pets their organization supposedly cares so much about. I read post after post of frustrated and despairing vets searching desperately for info that might help save sick and dying animals.

The AVMA let all their stakeholders down, from the pets to the owners to those on the front-line of this horrible catastrophe. How they get off being “pleased” by their (in-) actions is inconceivable.

I am appalled and disgusted with all this backslapping and self-congratulatory behavior, and sickened at the lack of regard shown to bereaved pet owners and still-suffering pets. My need for an honest apology from someone, ANYONE, and my rage at the ever-increasingly clear contempt for pet-owners by those in the industry is becoming well-nigh unbearable.

Maybe that would be a help to the poor confudddled things?
Perhaps an investigation on how brain damage results from too much exposure to the PFI and the FDA would be in order?

Hey Duane where are all these consumers you speak of? I don’t trust any pet food company and when I spoke to my vet last night neither did she. In fact she referred to buying pet food as a crap shoot.

This bunch seems to all have their heads up their butts.

Sounds like the AMVA invited alot of VIPs to their party. Maybe they should have invited some REAL people - the ones who keep them in business - and ask their opinion of how ‘efficient’ they were rather than talking out their butts.

Many individual vets did a great job during this crisis. But their PR organization, just like the PFI did NOTHING to help. All their Happy Talk makes me ill. Or maybe I just ate some contaminated food.

Next thing you know you’ll be reading: Poison food actually good for pets!
