What ever happened to the pet food poison incident ?
It seems like everything else , suddenly it evaporated then it became or included toys from China and human food products from China .

I am begining to wonder if this is just a political revote against china or some other scam or still reality if there still is a form of reality and not just this surreal mase we seem to live in .

Any Ideas or thought's ?

2. As far as I know all the product was recalled and additional deaths stopped.
Our vet said once all the product was removed from the shelves additional sickness and deaths dwindled quickly. As far as I know those brands are still off the market.

4. As I Recall, China Delayed the US Investigation For a Month
and when the feds finally got in, the companies that had supplied the tainted foodstuffs were gone, the buildings vacant, the paperwork all missing.

The FDA is cracking down on imported foodstuffs for the moment, but they don't even look at 10% of what comes into the country, so it's still a risky business.

Nobody has proposed a total ban on food or medicinal imports from China in Congress, which I find shocking.

And Walmart is still open, so business as usual.

5. It's not a political revolt against China -- thousands of animals were killed
I know someone whose cat who killed by tainted food. Iams paid for all the vet bills. Unfortunately, doesn't bring the cat back.

7. If you work to find information
the contamination investigation has turned up problems in everything from toothpaste and cough medicine to farmed fish. The recalled pet food was resold as animal feed and has triggered recall of chicken and pork in several states. The latest is a rash of contaminated honey imported from China. The story is rapidly building to a nutritional crisis, but CNN and Faux can't be bothered.

10. The products were all recalled
The offending factory in China was found vacated and scrubbed by the time inspectors got to it. It was later demolished.

I don't know if the Chinese authorities have managed to nab the people responsible for the catastrophe, nor do I know if they're motivated to do so.
