I would imagine many people are going too. I plan to pass out business type cards cautioning against the China Made Jerky Treats myself.

You don't have to shop at Walmart to join in the protest. You don't even have to go inside. This jerky issue is only one part of the many problems we are facing with the pet food industry. Making people aware that there even is an issue is important.

Buster Brown · 10-23-2012, 04:59 PM

I do not shop there either.

Every little bit helps the cause even if it is just telling 1 friend not to buy these horrible treats.

Thanks

As I mentioned this has nothing to do with shopping at Walmart. It is about getting pet owners informed about the danger of these jerky treats that are killing dogs. They would also like Walmart and other stores to stop selling the things. Many people are making up flyers to give to people or put on car windows.

I think I read here on YT that someone had made up stickers that they stick on the bags of treats in the store. I'm not suggesting that but it does sound like an effective warning to pet owners.

concretegurl · 10-25-2012, 12:20 PM

I definately wouldn't go in and do anything, could get you in hot water.

Putting stickers on the bags is asking for trouble...here its against a city for ordance to put fliers on cars so check your local ordinances.

Best thing to do is offer a handout ppl choose to take or not.

I actually gave the information to one of Buster's Yorkie friends. The Mom told me how Roxy loved her Waggin Tail treats. They had not heard about the recall.

gracielove · 10-25-2012, 02:26 PM

I was reading an article that stated that they think that the making of these treats is so inconsistent that some batches are worse than others. They have examined many different packages and found nothing. It is possible that it is just every few bathes that comes out of their factory that are toxic. The Chinese refuse to let inspectors into the facility when they went to do an on site investigation.

Another big problem w/the chicken jerky treats is that the dogs get addicted to them. They refuse their reg food, so they're not getting a balanced diet, which can lead to other health problems. Major chain stores needs to stop selling it!

Bumping up. Thanks all your support and willingness to educate others about these horrible jerky treats

concretegurl · 10-29-2012, 08:03 AM

Went to Walmart over the weekend to see what it's all about, got dirty looks from Derik and 2 employees for stopping on the pet treat isle...first isle facing checkouts!!!! and talking 4 people out of buying dog treats.

My son was a lil annoyed about me telling people Milo's kitchen was no good...then I explained it to him...he said they need to take his name off it his kitchen shouldn't make dogs sick!
