Well, in a perfect world - the guy would be able to track every single thing we can think of...but he can only do so much, I suppose. I don't hold that against him.

And in fact, I don't support - at all - dog food trials/research across the board or think it's categorically a great thing bc those trials can (and have) result in animal cruelty and very poorly run trials/research where the dogs are actually maltreated. "Research" doesn't always translate to "good research". In addition, we should *not* always need food trials bc of the current inferences we should now be able to make regarding several common ingredients.

An analogy is like w/ mascara testing on rabbits - we should not ever have to do this again like we did in the past bc we now have enough inferences / proven-safe-ingredients to create products without forcing research.
