Actually, he wants your input.
Given how well the MenuFoods issue has been covered by other Kossacks (such as jhritz's UPDATED: Rat Poison found in Recalled Pet Food!), I thought it would be redundant to rehash the issue in my own diary. Besides, I'm too tired to write anything more substantive after working for the past 4 days on the Whiskers Garden (by the way, the following Kossacks have something for them in the Whisker's Garden: natasha, Esjaydee, 3goldens and 1864 House).
I would take the opportunity to poll the community about their experiences with the tainted pet food issue.
It's my opinion (an opinion shared by our vet) pet deaths which can be attributed to the MenuFoods recall is being under-reported. Most folks (including the BK family) probably thought their pet's renal failure was attributable to old age, genetics, etc, and did not report it. What was odd in our case is Whiskers had been in good health then suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Our vet had noticed a recent increase in the number of animals which had to be euthanized because of renal failure but did not make the correlation until after the recall was announced.
Please take the time to take the poll. The Wise and Wonderful Whiskers the WonderCat, The Supreme Ruler of the United Federation of Universes, would really appreciate it.
