It's hard enough finding quality food for the humans! TO FOOD FROM CHINA TRUTH.. it's stranger than FICTION.. to be sure we are on the same "page" we must first be in the same BOOK “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. The gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."

Reminds me of the story I read today about the USDA moving ahead with plans to allow Chicken processed in china to be labeled "Made in America". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9589803 How can we protect ourselves if the labeling will be wrong ??? Infuriating to say the least . Not sue if this was the story you were referring to, but: [link to www.bloomberg.com] Bad idea. Take the red pill now...later it will come as a suppository. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 41366907 United States 10/22/2013 06:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I learned a hard lesson in 2007 when I bought my dog some rawhide chewys at WMart. I almost lost my dog. The poor thing was so sick, foaming at the mouth and vomiting all over the place. I knew it was that chewy. Took him to the vet and he was put on an IV for 3 days. After that it took him about 2 weeks to fully recover. We were very lucky. A lot of people don't realise how dangerous these treats can be. We need to keep bumping this so that everyone who cares will see it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22918479 ^^^^^^ Best advice here. 100% agree.... <snipped> Quoting: ladyannie2009 Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have been sickened in an ongoing, mysterious outbreak of illnesses tied to jerky treats made in China, federal animal health officials said Tuesday. Most of the cases have been in dogs of all breeds, ages, shapes and sizes, although 10 cats have been sickened, too. The pace of the reported illnesses appears to have slowed, but federal Food and Drug Administration officials are now seeking extra help from veterinarians and pet owners in solving the ongoing puzzle. [link to www.wrcbtv.com] It's your own dang fault if you buy made in china. It's a well known fact they place no value on human life let alone animals. They are in it to make as much cash as possible. Quit buying made in china and your risks of being affected by something like this will drop by over 75%. although I totally agree with you, many products are not marked as having been 'made in china'..... a cpl examples below: <snipped> A number of companies in China are mislabeling domestically made food products as halal imports from Islamic nations in order to improve their market share in the Muslim-populated northwestern Xinjiang region, according to sources. [link to www.newsforage.com] ----- <snipped> .....Now although products are labeled American company, you have to keep reading the label because the product may be made in China, and appear on the recall list. Sadly, it’s not the first time a simple treat like chicken jerky for dogs has been recalled by the FDA.

(OP) User ID: 48765910 United States 10/22/2013 07:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's no way a consumer can know what the hell they're buying anymore. <snipped> Two large honey packers, including one of the nation's biggest - Groeb Farms of Onsted, Mich. - have admitted to purchasing millions of dollars' worth of honey that was falsely labeled. National Public Radio reports that the goal of this mislabeling, which has been suspected of taking place within the honey industry for some time now, was to "acquire cheap honey from China." This, despite the fact that Chinese honey is subject to strict "anti-dumping" duties the United States imposed in 2008, "after U.S. honey producers complained that Chinese exporters were selling their honey at artificially low prices," NPR said.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46678410 United States 10/22/2013 08:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sheeples follow exactly what the elite teaches, GLP is no exception. You do realize it's our importer's duty to quality control the stuff they bring in. If they want to cut the corner or pocket some bribe money, low quality stuff will land on our store shelf There was an interview some entrepreneur even said casually in case of a bad import happens, it's easy to direct American consumers' anger toward China or other foreign countries so the American company (importer) can get away with it. Sheep follows the instructions closely, every single step, even on GLP |

Forum Administrator User ID: 14611344 United States 10/22/2013 09:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WHY are people still buying shit from China for their pets? Especially after the chicken jerky deaths? SMH T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |
