I couldn't agree more. They are the pharmaceutical industry's ally. It comes down to that.

        I find it very hard to believe that they are going to keep

        they going to keep it there to kill the mice and rats??

            One not so great thing about my phone call to Pet Food
            Direct... The
            woman I talked to suggested I donate the food to a shelter
            or rescue.
            Of course I told her that that wasn't a good idea. I
            certainly wouldn't
            want some orphan cat or pup eating something that I
            wouldn't feed my own
            kids. I have wondered too where all the recalled food is
            going,
            (besides the possibility of it being sold as "salvage"
            food for poultry
            and stockyards). Even if it is dumped, what about the
            birds and
            wildlife that would find it? When I was watching the
            committee hearings
            that you and Belinda alerted us to, the question was asked
            and we were
            told that it was being warehoused. I find little comfort
            in the
            assurances of big business, but I wish someone had thought
            to ask "and
            what happens to it when you are ready to clear those
            warehouses?
