I’m absolutely NOT convinced that only 300 pets died from the pet food recalls. I’m still getting emails from people who have just recently discovered that the food they fed was on the recall list – after their pets have died with symptoms consistent with the poisoning.

Much of the reporting of pet deaths due to the recalls has been done online, but not everyone online and even of those who are, not all of them would know where to go to report their pet’s illness or death. And I’d venture a guess too, that for some people, their pets simply died and they left it at that, not even thinking it could be caused by their pet’s food.

There is no real way to know exactly how many pets have died from the recalls, but I’m certain it was more than 300.

Maybe more like 300 A DAY !!! There were about 5 dogs that died from the food in our local shelter and my vet said that 1 dog and 2 cats from his clientele died. That’s 8 that I know of personally. As usual, just continuing to sweep it under the rug.

350? This gross underestimate of the number of pets who either died or suffered illness as a result of the tainted pet food is an insult to the TRUE number of pets–in the thousands–who were victimized by the pet food industry.

Once again, it appears the scope and impact of the 2007 pet food tragedy is being under-reported in order to soften the guilt of the pet food industry.
