RAT POISON to blame for food recall?! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lucy Lu · 03-23-2007, 02:12 PM

My husband visited China in January of this year on a business trip. He was suprised by many of the things he saw in regard to pets. He saw very few dogs and those he did see were with wealthier people and they tended to have just one pet. The Chinese don't spend the money to routinely vaccinate their animals for things like rabies and that is why in some providences they had a manidatory killing of pet dogs due to an outbreak of rabies. He also learned that they use dogs for some food, and in products we in the US don't use them for like clothing and leather items. The population of humans in China is so dense that pets are not the high priority that they are here. I hope this is not offensive to Chinese Americans here, these are just things my husband saw first hand.

RIP Pebbles, my Maxie will take care of you over the Rainbow Bridge.

OMG I know a Pebbles yorkie in my area. They were one of the only ones that showed up to the Yorkie meetup I had in Feb. I wonder if it is the same Pebbles....!

Who has the link to that? Please

This is the most upsetting thing - poor Pebbles and all the other dogs and cats that have had to suffer because of this terrible mess. I can't even imagine how I would feel if Sadie had been affected.

Erm, I don't think this is a terrorist act. Bc what do they really have to gain by it? Losing money by hurting their consumers? It just wouldn't make sense for a producer to intentionally poison a product to hurt their consumers. I don't know. I just know that this is terrible.

Here's the link that I have for Pebbles (RIP, dear little one). It says that she was Collett vet clinic in LA.
