		<description>Dear Jesus, please let the raw foodies choke on a chicken bone.  I am so tired of their wacky pet food conspiracy theories.

I feed Science Diet without any guilt or worry whatsoever.  My pointers are all still alive.  Let&#039;s move on.</description>

		<description>Before the recall, I had been toying with the idea of switching our dogs to raw food. Last March, just a day or so after we realized that we had lost our Bubbles (Pom) to tainted food, I went to a Pet Expo and got a bunch of samples of small-company premium foods and mixed them (and completely quit using Nutro Ultra or any other big-company brand forever). When Daisy (Pap) finished that mix, I bought 2-3 bags of some of those same brands and mixed them, varying which brands I bought. I did that 2 or 3 times, then made the leap to raw. We now feed our dogs [we adopted Jack (Pom) in July 2007) Northwest Naturals raw food, varying the meats every time we buy. I have no desire to ever go back.

As for us humans, we have been eating almost 100% natural/organic at home for several years, so we haven&#039;t changed what we eat for a while.

It&#039;s so nice to go into a store to buy dog food without having that anxietly that I got for several months every time I went out to buy dog food.</description>

		<description>PETA is like the Nazi eugenicists of the 1930s and 1940s. 

1. Like the Nazis, PETA is funded by the global elite. (In the Nazis&#039; case, it was the Rothschild family funding the Nazis. In PETA&#039;s case, In PETA&#039;s case, it was and is the Rockefeller family funding PETA through the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.)

2. PETA claims to be &quot;for the animals,&quot; but evidence shows that they actually perpetuate a modern-day Holocaust on animals. In this essence, animals are &quot;the new Jews.&quot;

3. During the Nazi days, the same global elite funded the other side, basically what you would call &quot;controlled opposition.&quot; The same holds true today. Today&#039;s controlled opposition is the Center for Consumer Freedom. Many say CCF is a front organization for the restaurant and tobacco industry, and while that may be true, that is really a non-issue when you realize that CCF has ties to the same Rockefeller family through its praisals of genetically-modified foods and aspartame, both of which were created by the Monsanto corporation (which receives Rockefeller funding). Anybody who concentrates solely on CCF being a restaurant/tobacco front organization get their information from the controlled opposition, namely PETA and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, with CSPI also receiving Rockefeller funding and being a vocal advocate of genetically-modified foods.

PETA claims to be against animal farms which raise animals for human consumption, but if the animal farm is owned by a Rockefeller, then PETA is for it. I found the following comment on a website:

&quot;There’s an organic hog farm owned by the Rockefellers a few miles from the Indian Point nuclear power plant on the Hudson river North of Manhattan, but PeTA won’t protest there because one of PeTA’s top 20 benefactors are the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors… PeTA is fine protesting fur and meat eaters, as long as it doesn’t bite the carnivorous hand that feeds them!&quot;</description>

		<description>Peta, the ever popular animal lovers(?) I have to say that I am impressed with their legal team searching out this blog and any others that post defamatory comments (otherwise known as the truth) about Peta. It makes me wonder if all the owners who surrendered their dogs to Peta knew of Peta&#039;a intentions? Yes, that could be quite a lawsuit.</description>

		<description>Gina, Christie:

What I would like very much to see is PetConnection running a survey on the Trust issue.

We know that poll was allegedly 574 people. 7% were not in either category.  Was that 7% pet owners who no longer use commercial pet foods?

We know that poll questions distort the responses.

I would just love the poll to be conducted where it counts...no lobbyist controlling the questions.

Thanks for considering this!!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve changed brands for my cats to one that reads like real food. They also get some home cooked food special for them. 

My animals will never get another taste of the corn and roadkill (and worse, obviously) of Iam&#039;s. I also avoid products from Proctor &amp; Gamble... the parent company, which I used to buy lots of. I also stopped shopping at Petco and PetSmart except for the occasional cat litter. 

In addition to changing the way my pets eat, the whole ordeal changed the way we all eat at my home. I really had an eye opener and now  make most of my meals from locally grown cert. organic farms. I joined my local co-op and am delighted with my food! I thought it would mean a lot of big changes in lifestyle to go co-op, but no... not true. 

And on top of that, I talk about it. I recommend websites with great recipes, books and what I&#039;ve learned about grocery shopping in the past year to my friends and family and anyone else who will listen. 

The pet poisonings changed my life and there&#039;s no going back. Not a chance.</description>
