Remember the pet food recall? I'm not likely to forget it, and neither will any of the thousands of pet owners whose dogs and cats were sickened or killed from eating pet food contaminated with industrial chemicals.
The FDA may never get around to counting how many dogs and cats died or were seriously affected by eating the contaminated foods, but another government agency at least got past the "14 confirmed deaths" crap.
In a press release proclaiming, “Thousands of pets suffered illness, death throughout the United States,” today the U.S. Department of Justice announced that "(T)wo Chinese businesses and their top executives, along with a United States company and its owners, were indicted by a federal grand jury today, in separate but related cases, for their roles in manufacturing and importing a tainted ingredient used to make pet food, which resulted in the death and serious illness of countless pets in the United States last year."
Gina and I are blogging it over at PetConnection.com. Too bad I was up all night last night watching election returns... and now I have to watch this story and oh yeah, recap Project Runway, which amazingly I don't care much about at all right now.
