Here's what I don't understand: Why aren't more dogs and cats sick?

1) We don't know how many dogs and cats are sick;

2) we don't know how much tainted food was produced by Menu
Foods; and

3) we don't know how much of the tainted food was sold
before being pulled off the shelves

I was at the feed store this morning and I asked them if
they'd been affected by the hullaballoo, and they said while
they'd gotten a lot of questions their stock hadn't been
affected because they sell very little of that **** to start
with and the little bit they did have hadn't been
manufactured during the dates in which the tainted whatever
was included in the food.

Someone on one of the mushing lists said that she'd
dissolved some cheap kibble in water and strained it and was
appalled by what was in there (bone, feather, beak) and did
the same thing with some "premium" kibble and was pleased by
what she found. I haven't tried it and don't know whether
or not she was exaggerating but it sounds like an
interesting thing to do. Crap like bones and feather and
beak oughtn't to make your dog sick but they don't provide
much in the way of nutrition, either.
