I don't see any reference to this in the thread, but I am SURE I heard on NPR that they had tested the food inhouse and about 6 cats had died -- and the bastards STILL put in on the market. NPR interviewed a lady whose 2.5 year old bull mastiff had died -- she used the word murder (legitimately, I think). We have a bull mastiff (5) who is absolutely part of this family.........I cannot imagine the pain of such an unnecessary loss.
