The news today is filled with news that Wal-Mart has quietly pulled two different brands of chicken jerky dog treats off of the stores' shelves.
Two questions: 1) when will we be able to trust our food and our pets' food again, and 2) why did it take over three weeks for this information to get out to the public (reports are that the stuff was pulled on 27 July)?
It is as if the public is being systematically de-humanized by industry both here and overseas. Personally, I find this trend both disturbing and unacceptable. It is this sort of "sweep it under the rug"-type of behavior that will persuade me to immediately stop shopping at any establishment that thinks my health or the health of my family (including pets) is less important then their bottom line.
As John Merrick put it: "I am not an animal! I am a human being!" and I think it high time that business and the rest of the world comes to grip with the concept.
