Im glad to see this 3cat, if the laws wont help our pets, the least we can do is respond to her request for opinions to help get publicity out there so others can see it as well.

clicked link and says site is under construction... That's correct. Curious timing huh? I would like to know what the conditions of Parole are for these people the next 3 years. (I'm probably not the only one.) Who is going to be monitoring them? Perhaps we should start a "Miller Watch" . . the Federal Authorities apparently need all the help they can get these days.

So if its true according to that one article we saw that says they arent supposed to import pet food ingredients, these things better not be for pet food....I hope we can find the court document that gives the specifics of the verdict. It gives me the willies to think they might have been importing taurine and thiamine for pet food. ETA: Sometimes I think we need to have a "Disgusting" thread....

Sandi and Steve since this EOS is a large importer and has a hand in hand relationship with Chinese (preferred) manufacturers - we would need the complete list pinned at the top of Itchmo that lists all the companies they produce pet food for so the pet owners/lovers can make their own choice whether or not to buy the food as their conscience dictates.
As far as parole - maybe they need one of those monitor devices that would create huge discomfort if traveled over the allowed range and the further away the bigger the discomfort would get......

http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=14984Sentences handed down in pet-food poisoning criminal case February 9, 2010 By: Edie Lau For The VIN News Service In the civil case, ChemNutra is one of more than two dozen defendants contributing to a $24-million fund established to compensate people whose animals were affected by the tainted food. How much of the settlement fund was provided by ChemNutra — or any one of the other defendants in that case — is a secret. Mary Elizabeth Gately, a lawyer for the defendants, told the VIN News Service: “That’s confidential information that’s not ever been released.” Gately also said she could not comment on how the distribution was decided — whether based upon market share, ability to pay, in equal shares or by some other formula. The settlement was approved in November 2008 but disbursements from the fund have yet to be made, pending two separate appeals to the settlement. Oral arguments are scheduled for both appeals on Feb. 22.

Looking at this from the angle of auto liability, if you were involved in a moving violation with another car and judged to be the one at fault for the collision, in determining what your sentence would be, the judge would not be taking into consideration that your insurance company covered the property damage and possible medical bills of the other driver.
