Thursday Thirteen #15

Thirteen Things about The Pet Food Recall Whiskers died March 9, 2007 of Kidney Failure after eating Special Kitty Pouch cat food. Menu foods knew there was something wrong with the food as early as February 20th, 2007 (maybe sooner). The contaminated pet food wasn't recalled until March 16th, 2007 Petconnection.com reports: 3,057 pets deceased. Of these, 1,657 are cats, and 1,400 are dogs. ~ April 3, 2007 The Last Meow was created so grieving pet lovers could share their pet's stories. We created The Whiskers Memorial Butterfly Garden to honor Whiskers' memory. March 30th, FDA says dry food may be contaminated. Menu Foods Victims Pet Treats recalled (nothing is safe to feed our pets). FDA says human food that contains wheat gluten may also be contaiminated. FDA told CNN it is looking at whether there could have been a profit motive for deliberately introducing melamine into the wheat gluten. In other words, it might not have been an accident and may have been about money. I still miss Whiskers.
