two chemicals, melamine and cyanuric acid, were blamed

Have Pet Connection’s writers ever acknowledged that other toxins have been found – aminopterin, acetaminophen, chaconine and solanine? 

Quote
Marion Nestle stated "The pet food industry as a whole took a big hit”

I think the pets and pet owners took an even bigger hit.

Yes did they have $5,000 in vet bills and a dead cat, with vets who were unable to identify the problem as being poisoned vet-pushed kibble?

The vets BENEFITED from the pet food recall. First they told the stuff that made pets sick; then they benefited from thousands of dollars of tests and IV fluids and hospitalization.

One lawyer told me she couldn't believe the rates the vets were charging. And this is from a lawyer.
