2009 Stupidist Act In Pet Food: The FDA Wins Again!
Truth About Pet Food has announced it’s 2009 winner of the “Stupidist Act in Pet Food” and once again it’s our very own FDA. The FDA wins hands-down on a few counts:
1) Ignored Federal Law (the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) with pet food for another year.
2) Pulled the Emergency Permit from Evangers Pet Food with no recall or information available to the public. A few months later Evangers was back in business. No explanation of what happened or didn’t happen, what was corrected or wasn’t corrected, nothing.
3) Premium Edge Pet Food Recall was 18 days AFTER it was announced to TruthaboutPetFood.com from the company. Pets continued to get sick while the public was NOT informed of the recall.
4) The FDA was found to ‘Not Follow Procedure during the 2007 Pet Food Recall’ by the Inspector General of the United States. This error of the FDA not following their recall protocol is not only stupid, it undoubtedly cost the lives of many, many pets.
5) During 2008, not one proactive move was made by the FDA to improve the safety of pet food. During 2009 there has not been one step made to improve the safety of pet food.
The Best Blog Award!
WOW, I am honored!! Thanks so much FISHER, for this awesome award
Isn’t Fisher just beautiful? She is a self-employed advice columnist, so if any critters or humans have an issue they would like advice about, pop on over there.
Of course this award comes with a few simple rules:
1. Post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his/her blog link.
2. Pass the award to other blogs that you think are great!
So many of the blogs I read are unique, interesting and informative, so this is the hard part! Since I have already given awards to many of my favorite blogs, I’m going to pick some recently discovered blogs that have caught my interest.
A Humane Award!
Today I received this award from Patricia over at Subjective Soup
Thank you so much for this, I feel so honored!
The “Humane Award” rules are as follows:
“The Humane Award honors certain bloggers who express kindness, caring and compassion for others.
Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a daily basis.
Link back to the person who gifted you with the award and share the love with other bloggers.”
Now it’s my turn to pass this lovely award to others:
Friend’s Award
I got this nice award 
from Merry at Cheese And Chocolate
Thanks Merry! Here’s what it’s all about:
These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.
And now for my 8:
