Pet Connection is putting forth a monumental effort covering the poison pet food story and to expose it for what it truly is- greed, cover ups, and very bad business. My head is still spinning after reading Gina's latest blogs where timelines, profit margins and dead lab animals have all the makings of a bad 'made for TV movie'. In February, Menu Food had a mortality rate of nearly 20 % in their tested lab animals, yet waited 1 month to go public! That sickens me on so many levels.

But, sadly this is the reality of Menu Foods. It is enough to inspire even the most die hard convenience food shopper to question their choices.

It seems that at a minimum, Menu Foods was aware of problems February 20th, and even possibly as early as DECEMBER!
According to the Canadian Press:

Starting in December, concerns began filtering back to the company through toll-free customer lines about the “cuts and gravy” style pet food.

One large customer in the United States initiated its own recall after receiving complaints and put future orders for the products on hold.
