Fucking pet food
The pet food recall is probably going to be hit with another round of expansions. They've found the poison in a rice protein now, too, so a lot of things that didn't get recalled previously are probably going to be.
I'm so angry I can't even think. I KNOW that this whole thing was caused by some fucking executive somewhere trying to fucking line his wallet with a few more dollars, maybe even only extra pennies. By the estimations of some organizations that are taking reports, thousands of animals have died. I want heads to roll for this. I want to know who decided that importing this shit was a good idea, so that they can be paraded through the streets and I can throw things at them. I want their assets seized to pay the families of pets who died. I want Menu Foods to go out of business forever.
Anyway, keep a careful eye on your pets. If they seem at all sick, or even are behaving a little funny, take them to the vet. Now. Not later, not in an hour, not tomorrow, NOW. Even if you aren't feeding them a recalled food. Even if you're feeding them dry food. (At least one dry food has been recalled to date, and that will probably expand now that rice protein has been found to be tainted.) This is very serious, and it will kill pets.
Cordelia and don Francisco seem to be fine on the bag of food we're feeding them now. They're still running around and raising hell. I'm considering tossing out all of the canned food we keep for special occasions and getting some more in a year or so, after I'm really, really sure all of this has blown over.
