especially children, the aged, and people with
compromised immune systems. Consumers who have

1. Who would give their dog "bull pizzle" chews in the first place?

:puke: Just sayin'...

[seemunkee]

4. Our pups love em

No kisses after they chew them though

[Critters2]

2. This happens every once in a while

usually in pig's ears or snouts. These are the garbage of the slaughterhouse industry and are not treated carefully to prevent contamination. While the animal parts that will be sold to people are refrigerated and handled relatively carefully, these are handled like the refuse the industry thinks they are.

And then they're sold to you, to give to your beloved pet.

The meat industry is evil from top to bottom.

8. Unfortunately, many already have been, recalled to another life!

I know many people don't feel as strongly as I do about this pet food problem, but you really should look at it as a sounding alarm to the contamination of human foods! Remember, the first major problems we heard about regarding toxic ingredients from China we those found in pet food. The problem soon escalated to human consumables like toothpaste.

Take a look at the FDA recalls sometime. They release a list once a week from what I can tell. We don't hear about MOST of these. I just looked at the last 2 posted on their web site, and the ONLY one I heard about was the toothpaste!

It looks like the FDA is working hard, but they just don't have enough people to do a GOOD JOB!

5. What's with all these defective American products?

Don't these filthy Americans care about safety?

Is America at war with us?

Stop buying American!

[MiniMe]

6. Maybe everybody will find out what Bully Sticks really are

[Critters2]

12. Wow. I just found out what they are. I had no idea.

My dog has never had one, and now I can say for sure she never will. At least as disgusting as pig snouts.

[LeftyMom]

7. It's best not to let your dog chew on the dick of a dead animal.

Imagine that. :eyes:

[Trillo]

9. What does that mean?

"they have the potential to
be contaminated with Salmonella"

Well, yes, I understand that almost any food source has the potential to be contaminated with many dangerous organisms if it isn't handled properly.

Is this a political hit against a company for some unknown reason? Or has ACTUAL contamination been found?

[shenmue]

10. Can anybody do things right these days?

:grr:

Makes me mad, people doing things to dogs.

[Critters2]

11. Here's the Itchmo alert

Not only was there salmonella, but the company was dipping them in bleach to kill the bacteria...then selling them as CHEW TOYS.
