Tip of the iceberg?


Here's what I don't understand: Why aren't more dogs and cats sick? I
know that sounds horribly callous so let me explain myself before
everyone jumps down my throat. The recall was/is huge. The number of
pets exposed to possibly tainted pet food has to be huge. Yet I'm
hearing very relatively few reports of sick or dying pets. Believe me,
I think that's a good thing, but it doesn't make sense. When you look
at the numbers, it seems like there should be more. In my neighborhood,
all the dogs and cats are fine. You have reports of veterinarians
working overtime testing animals, but they're all fine. It doesn't seem
possible that the food isn't really tainted since some animals have died
from poisoning. What explains the fact that so many exposed animals
haven't gotten sick?


(How was your trip, and would you email me privately your notes on
airport recordings?)
