We just heard from some American friends that there has been a giant recall
of many cat and dog wet foods by Menu Foods. There are several different brands
affected, and this is a dire situation. Animals are being afflicted with kidney
failure, and there's been reported ten deaths, so far, due to this bad food.
For a listing of all products affected, go to
http://www.menufoods.com/recall/index.html . This is not a hoax, mates; it's
real and very dangerous for our four-legged loved ones. This appears to only be
affecting pets in the States, but with something of this dire consequences, one
can never be too safe.
To all list parents, please excuse the intrusion if you would normally frown
upon this type of message. Time is of the essence here, and as we're about to
be setting sail, we didn't have time to check on the rules and regulations of
each list seperately.
