That's really sad!

Not surprisingly, they have found the source of the poisonings to be rat poison in the canned foods.
Someone with a bad idea, maybe a pissed off factory worker.

Seems as if the imported wheat/grains in the canned food (97% water), contain a rat poison used outside the US, and it is true all you can sue for is property value with a pet.

I have a few horror stories, and I found out you can't do anything to a vet or animal hospital for gross incompetance; only recover the value of your pet in real Dollars. Sucks...

There is no mystery of pet food poisoning.

As long as the American and Canadian are buying cheap food products from overseas (and you know which country sells dirt cheap cat and dog food), we are going to have a major problem.

I used to live near three huge chicken processing plants which supplied chicken to Tyson etc. After deboning, all the leftover were made into cat food. There were not one single death report for over 57 years.

The process followed Federal and State Inspection. But does China follows such guidelines in food processing ?

Wheat gluten can be contaminated with rat posions or other chemicals and itself can be lethal. As trade between U.S. and China continues to grow, we must ask the Congress to strengthen the laws regards to imports of all food products from China.
