Pet Food Recall: 60 Million Cans and Counting

People love their pets. They love their dogs and cats, their birds, reptiles and other creatures great and small and, if you saw me recently on Good Morning America, you heard me say that, to some people, dogs are their surrogate children. So, what happened that all of these cats and dogs were left without the usual protections regarding food safety? It reminds me of the problem we had with cattle feed awhile back.

Although we now seem to know what happened and where the problem originated (in rat poison which somehow got into wheat products used in pet foods), the question that is troubling me isn't being asked.

I'm a bit anxious just thinking about it and I wonder how many other people share that feeling.

Where are all those 60 million and counting cans of killer pet food going? Who is going to dispose of it and where? Wouldn't you want to know that it had been done safely and that there were some assurances that it wouldn't somehow get into some other supply of pet food, ground water or whatever where it would hurt or kill something or someone? I know I want to know.
