Mere misdemeanors for the pain and anguish they caused thousands of citizens in the horrifying illnesses and losses of their beloved companions? My heart dog, a strong, healthy 125-pound, 12 year old Bouvier was reduced to a limp mass who had to be carried outside to relieve himself as his entire system shut down rapidly. He suffered an unnecessary, agonizing death at the hands of the Millers and Menu Foods. I would love to show in court the videos of him helplessly bleeding from both ends, which is more what I had in mind for the Miller's punishment for this crime. We're all still suffering from the trauma, and will probably never recover, while the Millers will continue on like nothing happened after their hands are slapped briefly. Damn them all.

How is this really different from a terrorist who poisons the food supply? In my eyes, ChemNutra and the Millers might represent the greater evil - and the greater threat. Putting poison in food just for the sake of the almight dollar is about as low as you can go. If they're let off with a slap on the wrist, what's going to stop the next greedy &@$+@<* from doing this? Stunning. How is this really different from a terrorist who poisons the food supply?

Just when I thought I could get no sadder over this nightmare...I find out I can. My two were the lucky ones in that they did live on for a few months...I will never forget what this "not following the proper rules" did to my happy little home...Never....I had thought someone would pay the price for this melamine poisoning...just didn't think it would be only the 4 legged ones...

Some minor fine, at worst. Certainly nothing for the owners of the thousands of pets whose deaths they are responsible for. Hey, maybe the HSUS will hire them to talk to kids about the problems of pet food contamination at the same time they hire Vick to talk about the problems of dogfighting?
