It's frightening to think that one act of sabotage (if that's what it was) could have such a big impact. <a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/4732830.html" target="_blank">http://www.chron.com/disp/stor y.mpl/nation/4732830.html</a>

The vet assured me that her food was being recalled as a precaution but still, it almost, read almost, makes me want to start boiling the liver and rice that my mom used to make for our dogs I hope all our animals are doing OK

The latest news also indicates possible contamination at hog and poultry farms. Contamination has also been found in pet foods made and sold in South Africa as well as the North America.
