As I've talked about here, and as reported on the Cat Blogosphere and elsewhere, the pet food recall seems like it will never end. Artsy Catsy is urging all kitties and woofies and their humans to join the May 3 Postcards from Endangered Pets blitz! Here are thirteen reasons why Mom is participating:
1. She has spent well over $100 trying different foods and discarding purchased foods due to uncertainty over their safety
2. She has spent hours and hours (probably days and days) at this point keeping up with the recall news
3. She has spent an equal amount of time researching food and trying to decide what is safe
4. Every time I yak up a crane fly, she thinks it might be the food
5. Every time I take a nap, she worries I might be lethargic due to the food
6. She is going cross eyed trying to read the tiny ingredient print
7. At this point, she doesn't trust any grain at all, even though it may rule out some perfectly healthy food, and means I might not get any more Temptations!
8. She has completely lost her trust in the pet food industry
9. She doesn't trust anything from China, even though she loves Chinese food
10. She is scrutinzing her bean food, worrying about any vegetable protein
11. She cries when she thinks of all the innocent fur babies that have died or are sick because of food that should have been trusted
12. She would rather spend her time looking for cute clothes and great toys for me
13. She would rather spend her money on these things as well
So please join in the post card blitz. Hopefully the FDA and our senators will listen. We deserve healthy, nutritous food we can trust.
