Blog EntryPETA Demands That FDA Find Real Source of Pet Food ContaminationApr 5, '07 11:04 AM
for everyone

 

PETA Weekly E-News 

 

 

Alarmingly, it appears that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not have discovered the real source of contamination in the recalled Menu Foods items that have caused illnesses and deaths in countless cats and dogs.

A mounting number of complaints about sick and dying animals who ate only dry food that did not contain wheat gluten strongly suggest that another ingredient is causing this crisis. Evidence from reputable laboratories indicates that an excessive amount of vitamin D in pet food—among other possibilities—may be to blame. Vitamin D overdoses produce symptoms similar to those seen in animals who recently have become sick or died after consuming only dry foods.

This week we have asked the FDA to refocus its investigations beyond wheat gluten and consider other possible contaminants. For the safety of all our beloved companion animals, we must not let the FDA sweep this issue under the rug—as the agency has done so often before with animal and human health issues. We need to ensure that all available pet food is 100 percent safe for dogs and cats.

PETA has also called on FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach to resign over the agency's mishandling of the pet food crisis. It is infuriating—and so very sad—that cherished animals are dying horrible deaths because of a callous and essentially unregulated pet food industry. By not exercising its mandate and siding with Menu Foods and companies like Iams, the FDA has forfeited the public trust—to the detriment of companion animals.

We will continue to pressure corporate and government officials to get to the real source of what is making animals sick and to ensure that all available pet foods are safe. I will update you as this situation evolves. Please also visit PETA.org, which is regularly updated with late-breaking and helpful information about this and other issues.

Blog EntryCat died of kidney failureApr 4, '07 8:26 AM
for everyone

 

Received an email today form J, the lady who had adopted and returned Genie and Silver. Her 12 year old cat suddenly became ill and was hospitalized. She later died of kidney failure and J suspects the Nutro food (pouches with chunks in gravy). The cat was fed with various types of Nutro pouches and Nutro dry food (salmon).

My cats are all eating Nutro dry food, mixed with a little Natural Balance, which they don't really like much. So far no ill effects. The supplier assured me that it was safe.
