Reply #12: Too late? I wanted to buy dog treats NOT made in China. [View All]

[Honeycombe8]

I read the labels of countless bags of treats and rawhides that were appropriate for my dogs & that I thought they'd like (and would be healthy).

There none made in America. None. Almost all of them came from China.

I saw a documentary on China farming and mining. It's disgusting. No wonder people are dying and getting sick here from food and treat products from China. China has little (if any) lead regulation or oversight. What regulations they have, their oversight is poor. Some small company grows lettuce in soil that is laced with mining residue from the nearby mine, and they just tell the govt that, yeah, it's okay, no lead or anything. Corruption is throughout their business dealings.

So our dogs got sick and died from contaminated food and treats. Our children got sick from contaminated peanut butter (which is in more products, I found out, than I'd care to think about). And even health nuts died from contaminated lettuce.

Buy American? Yeah, sure. First we have to HAVE American on the shelves.
