Is it used in Fish Foods?? I am also becoming suspicious of any dog/cat food manufacturer, since I understand that many are not testing their foods. Sandi Is the shrimp feed used in cat food?

I am also becoming suspicious of any dog/cat food manufacturer, since I understand that many are not testing their foods.

They have such presence and beauty. I cried all the way through that movie. You'd think in this day and age, people wouldn't be so heartless and callous, but look what some people do to other people, not to mention what is being done to our food supply in the name of $$$ Trudy,

The US refused to import those Australian blankets. I saw on alibaba.com that China makes Australian wool blankets. Is it really Australian wool or not? No way to know. Anyway, apparently formaldehyde has been used for flame retardancy, colorfastness and wrinkle resistance. Those particular blankets were to be used for hotels, hospitals, nursing homes. The reason for formaldehyde use could be any or all of the three. In the synthetic blankets, melamin/formaldehyde resin (that sounds familiar, doesn't it) can be used to glue the fibers together. There are a ton of websites on where to get formaldehyde free products. Now I just need to figure out how to afford them. I’ve been googling formaldehyde and blankets.

Tigers, just through poaching alone are on the brink of extinction. The article is right about the people needing to be educated on using modern medicines. If you've ever seen the dvd Two Brothers (about two tigers separated when young that meet up again later) there is a wonderful documentary on the bonus section on tigers...very worth watching.
