If this was human's dieing someone from that company would be going to jail.
They knew about the problem and sold it anyway.

"I'm waiting for the PETA "I'd rather go naked than feed my dog dry food" campaign to start!"

I hope Pamela Anderson gets involved with that one.

"My Animals eat Old Roy from wal mart and i have never had a problem."

Yeah, but how does Roy feel about it ?

Is the dog in the picture being over-fed? Seems like a ton of food for a little dog. I think if the dog's eyes are almost covered when it sticks it's head in the dish, there might be a problem. Then again, if it were a bowl of ribs from Dreamland Barbecue in Tuscaloosa Alabama, I'd easily go with the full head dunk method. Have a great weekend!

My cats were puking almost everyday. they were eating Nutro dry food. Expensive premium food. I switched to friskies when the story broke. They kep vomiting for a couple of days and now they are not puking any more.

PETA - "What! We wanted to kill those dogs!"

Money grubbing hypocrits. They would rather your child die before a rat.

I love it what an $2 *** like Pamela Anderson gives out "moral advice".

"PETA, Perfectly-Eatable-Tasty-Animals."

The Great White Sharks off the Florida coast belong to a similar organization.

"Predators Eating Tasty Americans."

"IAMS dry cat food was not involved in the recent poisonings."

I skimmed the story too quickly. PETA is saying it WAS involved.

I thought PETA was commenting on dry pet food in general.

Is this the same PETA that has employees on trial in North Carolina for picking up pets from shelters killing them and throwing them in dumpsters?

What will PETA stick their nose into next? this is crazy. My wife and I feed our two cats dry food all the time. We feed them ProPlan or Purina One. They have never become ill and love the stuff. PETA just wants to make it look like they are doing something good.

Personally I'm am member of a PETA group (People Eating Tasty Animals)

I've had my two cats ("altered" females) on IAMS weight control dry cat food for years. They thrive on it. Now they won't even touch moist so called "gourmet cat food" like Fancy Feast. They just want their IAMS.

IAMS dry cat food was not involved in the recent poisonings.

And I figure that after that public relations disaster, IAMS will be redoubling and tripling their precautions, so they'll be among the safest pet food manufacturers around.

I buy my cats' large bags of cat food a month in advance anyway. If there were a problem, it would be widely known before I open the next bag for them. (That's more of a precaution than I take for my own food. Go figure.)

PETA has a known dislike for IAMS, alleging they torture lab animals to test the food. I have not examined this allegation in detail, so I don't know if it's true or not.
