My dog is DEAD AS A DIRECT RESULT of PURINA DOG FOOD.
The C.E.O. of Purina acts like he never heard of this event happening. Denial is not the action a C.E.O. should take. Our dog died a slow painful death when her kidneys shut down due to the Malomine in the food. I was offered less than 9 pennies per day for her life, and death. They neglect to apologize, acknowledge their responsibility to the consumers (who trusted that they were feeding their dog good food, not poisoned food.)
It is a very sad world. Next stop, Oprah. Howard Stern took a call from a woman the other day who exposed Purina. Good for her. I hope some of his 12 million listeners will get a lawsuit going and drain them dry, especially all the money the C.E.O. has accumulated for NOT doing oversight on this product. Maybe he will lose his job. I suggest he eats some of this product, as a testing procedure…oh, no, that wont work, I am certain he is afraid he will be poisoned too.
Purina was supposed to represent all that is good for a dog, now all they look at are profit margins, they merged with the Nestle company (this will increase profits.), so remember the next tiime that you make hot tea, or iced tea, the consumer can die too… they apparently do not check anything anymore. People will drop like the pets next…What a sad world. Oprah, Lou Dobbs, Ellen, I will be calling. A sad Family in Missouri.

Pukanuba , fear not, I did a lot more than look before my wonderful hubbie wormed his way into my black heart!

You bet I still look, lust in more places than my heart and come from a long line of feisty.
Friends are friends, hon, I have made good friends in places and times worse than this, I will take them where I can find them.

We will ALL get together sometime and have a blowout party that will lower property values for miles, my vote for the place is the smoking hole in the ground that is all that remains of Menu Foods. Good enough party and the new owners of the land won’t even need bulldozers. Trust me.

E…….I just love your attitude about life & living it YOUR way. I laugh out loud at some of your comments. You are definitely one of my favorite people & a lady that I would definitely choose as my friend.

If I ever thought we lived fairly close, I’d drive over & take you to the nearest bar to discuss life, love & scope out the young hotties……I know you love your husband, bless your little heart, but you can look can’t you???????

I’m just sorry it took something this horrendous to bring us all together.

Trudy, I DO apologize if that sounded like I am not concerned about your health. I hope you feel better. Myself, I have found that the LESS that I bother with Doctors, the MORE I enjoy life.

Health nazi’s, as I call em, just bore the daylights out of me and not a single one of them has as good a time as I seem to find without all the fretting about what sugar or fat or whatever the boogey man du jour is, I eat what I like, get my exercise laying down and just get on with life.

I DID need to go get some pain pills from a Doc a while ago but I told him he could skip the lecture about water skiing at my age because I had to bet to win and it was WORTH a sprain!

I do not have a clue what is going on with dioxin, more of the same from Monsanto and other big companies I guess.
There sure seems to be a lot of really nasty stuff in all food now. Great for the waistline though, just thinking about the FDA puts me off food.

I plan to take up smoking again since I enjoyed that a lot more than I have enjoyed the last few months and it certainly won’t hurt me any worse. At my age it hardly matters and I plan to do more drinking of the hard hooch too!
If I was not so in love with my husband, and quite a bit younger, I might go back to fooling around with young hot guys so don’t be looking to me for the clean living tips!

Trudy Jackson, who knows what is happening, but this Dioxin thing doesn’t look good. I’ve been thing all along that it is more than 1 or 2 things & that even after it’s figured out there will be more things. All of our food is so messed up. I would love nothing more than to be proved wrong, that would really make all of us happy. I’m just afraid that our babies is just the start. I want to be so wrong.

I just got a call from a friend of Mine. she bought a bag of Purina “One” I think it was One, anyway Purina sensitive stomach for Her cats. They ended up throwing up all day. she threw the bad away. But doesn’t this sound very strange? It sounds like the same kind of poisening.

Since the Drs. can’t figure out what’s wrong with Me, maybe it’s Dioxin poisening? I wonder if that can cause anorexia?

MODS: May we have a separate headline for the story about the DIOXIN/PCBs?

This went on for 4 months? No recalls? No warnings to the public?

An excerpt:

“During the four months between contamination and disclosure, livestock had eaten the feed, stored the dioxin in their body fat, and passed it on in milk, eggs and meat to humans and other animals. Some food contained almost 1,000 times the U.S. limit for the cumulative poison; just one of the contaminated eggs could increase a 3-year-old child’s dioxin load by 20 percent.

Dioxin and PCBs are dangerous toxic chemicals and potent carcinogens that pose a serious public health threat. It takes 20,000 times less dioxin than DDT to kill a person outright.”

http://www.terryjallen.com/journo-subP/dioxin.htm
……………………….

And someone finally thought to test the chickens that were dropping like flies from the Dioxin/PCB-laced feed. Doesn’t anyone test anything before it is mixed into feed consumed by animals for human consumption? And, of course, NOTHING can be tracked or traced!

If all of this is true (and I believe it), this needs to go to the mainstream media, Durbin, & anyone else who cares about staying alive.

Thanks, Jay. What a shocking read this was! We’re on our own!

Some of the major pet food companys have booths at dog shows . They print up the arm brands that exhibitors where. Many shows are pedigree, eukanuba , and purina. These companys will have tents or booths set up giving away samples etc.
