What the hell are they thinking?? Then they ship the crap over here. They have no real meat source (beef, Chicken) so I guess it will be dogs and cats in our PURINA FOODS. Boycott Nestle Purina.. I can't imagine the horrible working conditions, no pay, filth and then we get to feed it. We need to unite on this one!!

If I were one of their customers I would be taking a very close look at my raw materials, wouldn't you? This is scary, particularly after seeing the CNN Video.

Look what they say on their site: "ChemNutra imports high-quality nutritional and pharmaceutical chemicals from China to the US. We purchase our inventory from quality-assured manufacturers in China, with whom we have strong relationships over the past twelve years. Our US customers are manufacturers of food, pet food, and nutritional ingredients, who want high quality, the best service, and the mosts competitive prices." If we got the quality assured stuff from them then god save us from the stuff that isn't quality assured! And who are these people really? The Millers, appear to be Americans from their names, but look at the text from the website above littered with grammatical errors. I would be shocked if these two aren't a front for a company, maybe even the manufacturers (or guys who last had their hands on the bags before it was put on the boat). Has anyone found out who ChemNutra really is? ChemNutra—-We must have the wrong importers.

Have our American corporations become so greedy-so corrupt? Our farmers are losing their family farms at an alarming rate. Can't these companies utilize what we have here? Even Hershey's is opening a plant in Mexico. Excuse me--Hershey chocolate, not Mexico. I won't buy it anymore. Support our nation's resources! We should all start demanding the assurance of pollutant-free products! How dare any company take the deaths of beloved pets so cold-heartedly! I want to know where my pet food is manufactured and exactly where the ingredients come from--it better be from the USA, or I WILL NOT purchase it!!! This corporate greed has to stop NOW!! To anyone who has lost a cherished pet, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry! Please keep the information coming. Let the pet food companies know how you feel. There is strength in numbers!
