My biggest pet peeve is with people who promote misinformation. (I'm not talking about you, Ann.) It makes me a little leery about whether they can handle the added responsibilities of raw feeding. But if someone has done their due diligence and is not endangering anyone else, it can work. |
Agree.
I don't want to imply there *can't* be an issue...I'm sure a possibility / potential is there. But I haven't experienced any issues at all with germs, and I'm not especially careful of them at all.
Yup - misinformation is often an uphill battle!
