It was from the FDA newsletter which I have been subscribing to. It won't bring back the pets that died. However, maybe some justice will be served.

And the continuously present inspectors were inside the building not in the unloading area. Never use bribes and conspiracy theories to explain what mere studpidity is sufficient to cover.

Can't they get someone to read Chinese correctly? How can they inspect plants correctly? So frightening. I sent you an e-mail, Gina, because story@theultimatecatlover.com does not open for me--either e-mail or website. I guess maybe because I cannot read English correctly?

I hope people are aware that there is a link between mad cow disease and cows that are too sick to stand. Downer cows also have three times more e-coli than standing cows. I don't feed pet food but for those that do I certainly would not feed anything beef for a long while. Mad cow disease doesn't present itself acutely. You might not see symptoms for years. And there is a reason for the e-coli spike in this last year in particular. I will bet this is common practice to send sick cows to market and that is why we are seeing so many recent illnesses and unprecedented recalls of beef that are noted on page 400 in teensy tiny print up in the far left hand corner of your newspaper. The USDA is doing a great job. That is said dripping in sarcasm. We all know that this recalled unfit for human consumption beef is going to end up in pet food.
