you know my other daughter is very innocent and terry is really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court. i am shocked shocked as far. as i reveal that we don't know still justice for the. head of this child unfortunately due to the will still not know the actual justice for. the f.d.a. his primary role is and regulation of what the label says is and there is actually in the us the f.d.a. is not regulating quality production sourcing any of those things they're

regulating that what you say is on the label is actually on the label the most shocking thing about the pet food industry that that has remained since basically i started doing this work is the f.d.a. compliance policy i still cannot understand how and industry is provided by a federal tax supported organization loopholes to avoid federal law if you go to the f.d.a. website and just type in compliance policies and then scroll down the page to hand feed and and there's one after another they allow contamination by pesticides contamination by chemicals contamination bad natural toxins contamination filth micro biological contamination over tolerance for permanent drug residues. it's incredible. the law says

that can be but the compliance policy says don't. go ahead. and force. for all practical purposes there's nobody looking out for the average guy in 2006 the mystery illness began to sicken thousands of pets across the united states and canada thrusting the industry into the spotlight like never before. ok everyone is so freaked out about this recall tell us what do people need to know about this recall so it's menu food menu menu foods menu foods and any food on march 16th 2007 many foods began recalling dog foods produced in their facilities in kansas and new jersey what disturbs me about this incident is that it confirms yet again the pet food as well as human food is a risk more than 60000000 packages were taken off store shelves last month because they apparently contained wheat gluten that was tainted with the chemical melamine veterinarian offices are getting flooded with phone calls from concerned that oh in

the people on the other end of the phone sound worried yes very wary yes no official estimates on exactly how many have died so far but hundreds of cats have suffered my strong belief is that they were intentionally delaying the recall happened because they thought they were purchasing a certain protein product called wheat gluten that has actually a pretty high protein count when in fact they were buying wheat flour that had been laced with sign your it acid and melamine in order to pass it off as weak with the way they test protein sources is to do this to touch at the level of hydrogen in it and both sign erik acid and melamine have high levels of hydrogen so they just would inject the wheat flour with this these poisons and then pass it off as weak would and the reason they were doing that is that wheat gluten costs a lot more per protein count per ton then. that's one. have you

gotten sick or died from eating the food made by menu soon that company maker dog in tatton under 90 brand named in 2007 pet owners didn't have any idea that one manufacture menu fits made hundreds of different varieties of food that was a betrayal of trust just so many pad orders this is leaving people to wonder at this point right can we safely feed our pets arena tonight is recalling a batch of it's pure reno one dog food memor definitely out was sitting in my little office so i caught how col out of the blue from a one man named don mature sack who told me that she wanted to bring a lawsuit can see entire pet food industry they knew they had contaminated food they knew it was poison they knew with killed animals and they continued to or sell it and put it on a market i mean use don't do that but it's a it's a money market they were making money and i want it it's stopped to c.b.s.

news has learned attained and we pollute new used in pet food was human grave needing nothing the lot of kept him from being used in the feed people eat soon the moshav king aspect discovered into so up committee hearings was that the ingredient used in the pet foods there was responsible for killing the animals was actually legal to use in human foods on top of that the f.d.a. admitted that there was no penalty given to a company if they failed to notify the f.d.a. in a reasonable amount of time in this case menu foods faced criticism for failing to notify the f.d.a. for over 3 weeks even after they confirm dogs and cats were dying and they knew the calls but other than complain about the ethics no one in a government position could find many foods for allowing the food to continue to be sold even though they knew animals would die as a result but menu foods would not testify the lobby group that came in its tice was

left to explain why men used. to make animals for a county feb 20th they didn't tell the f.d.a. 3 weeks earlier that let's get the record straight now the menu waited more than 3 weeks after finding out that the dogs wouldn't eat their food and were getting sick they waited 3 weeks i don't have the facts on menu senator i don't i think you read or you came to the hearing you would have the facts on the industry side they were still maintaining that they were highly regulated though the evidence exposed by the recall appeared to confirm the fear that the industry wasn't regulated very much that foods are indeed a highly regulated product they are perhaps the most regulated product in the supermarket shop. mr nelson was very clear in his statement that africa has no regulatory authority and we've been told by the f.d.a. that there is no pre-market approval of this product sold to consumers we know that there's no regular inspection of the facilities that make these products what we

are told is that 30 percent of these facilities will be inspected once or twice over a 3 and a half year period we know that there is no government authority to recall a contaminated product we know that there was no mandatory state inspection standards established by the food and drug administration cross the united states. we know that the claims being made on the label here about this dog food or beyond the claims that can be made about human food. and we're told at least dr hudgins has told us that it's questionable as to whether or not a company that makes a contaminated pet food has to report to anyone about adverse events in a timely fashion whether a dog has died or dogs are dying when i go through a long list of things it's hard to conclude this is a highly regulated product we're starting recalls grabbing you know chicken jerky

that's killing thousands of patents we can't identify the source of that contaminate that's still killing patents that scary after the 2007 recall another mysterious illness began to play dogs all across the country it was soon discovered that consumers who purchased various brands of chicken jerky treats to reward their dogs were actually poisoning their pets instead owners were devastated to find their dogs either sick or dead after consuming these so-called treats we went to pets in our and my wife was looking at the tree aisle there and she saw. judy chicken treats then she's like well why don't we just want to try these this is the only thing i see is just a chicken so i agree you know and we brought it home and we felt it in. didn't take long before we saw big changes. and what stands out in my mind from buying them that day is that i looked at the bag and they appeared they really had this almost

organic good for you feel about the packaging and so we grabbed 3 packages it was around christmas time that we bought them and we put them on the stockings for the dogs so i remember getting them because they looked so good for the dogs while cali was at the vet i knew that she had in the majlis treats so while she was there i went online and i started research. and i was sick to find that there was just this huge amount of information about these chicken jerky treats it was milo's it was canyon creek it was wagon train there were dead dogs there were dying dogs dogs with just crazy problems from them the american companies selling the chicken turkey were all sourcing their treats from one single manufacturing facility in china even though they were labeled and sold as several different brands a practice known as white labeling over

a span of years the companies involved strongly deny that their products were causing any such harm even though thousands of complaints were pouring in from their consumers since 2007 the f.d.a. has extensively tested many brands of chicken jerky treats including ours that testing has identified no contaminants and no definitive cause linking these products to report it illnesses in dogs in the initial stages of backlash companies tried to get consumers to sign nondisclosure agreements which would have barred consumers from legally speaking about the death of their pets a way to silence the very victims this had happened to be offered money in exchange for signatures but their bribery backfired offended pet owners refuse the money even banning together on a facebook page to share their stories and information to try and get the products recalled from the store shelves and i when i came down in the morning i checked on her and she was breathing issues sleeping and i went upstairs to take a shower and i heard her food bowl go across the floor and i go in colors of it and

i took a shower and then i came back downstairs and she was dead stuff. it's through this flood everywhere. no one. was. overseeing. so when i called. i received. their call center and it was almost scripted her response to me anyway. becoming a dying on anything. the f.d.a. did and they did the existence of the mama testing they did have. you know and.

i have not been enabling any of those reports of consumers but on the internet nor has there been any contaminant. on the market. can get. you know any type of food that's new. as far as you know a death or anything like like i said anything that has ever been reported in the f.d.a. did step down and there's never been any contaminant trying to link any of those don't that that's what it was crystal clear that the products were not coming off the shelves any time soon. rachel chambers of morgan hill lost her dog cali yesterday morning she says it was a sudden and painful death that found that she died after her stomach twisted and ruptured but it remains undetermined what caused that to happen according to the

f.d.a. nearly $1000.00 owners have complained about this product despite the warnings that are still on shelves at target walmart. and pet smart. and it's a middle of it's somewhat frustrating because we haven't been able to find a problem with the product we say yes there are sick animals we believe there's strong evidence and so share with that but we don't look at the product and we've tested for numerous things and we haven't been able to find anything that would suggest that this product right here there's a problem with sometimes toxic ingredients are a combination of things sometimes a toxic ingredient you know is is when you mix this with that and then that creates the problem so if you're looking for just one thing it's hard to know what that is .

the. you know a. little bit to be. to remember that their lab. values that threaten their. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart or we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the

chicken turkey issue lest until 2013 nearly 6 years after the 1st complaints were made upon investigation. the new york state department of agriculture discovered illegal traces of antibiotics in the treat even though it couldn't be proven that the antibiotics had directly caused the deaths of the pets it was a technical adulterant needed for the state department to force these companies to withdraw the products in question from the shelves the trace amounts of antibiotic residue found in the samples are not linked to the f.d.a. is ongoing investigation of chicken jerky products and again the trace amounts of antibiotic residue do not pose a health or pet safety risk when death or sickness is involved the cards appear to be stacked against consumers this is because according to the united states government your beloved companion is considered property that is worth little to no monetary value is very difficult to put

a value on companion animals the courts have struggled what this where really comes down to a struggle is what are the damages to somebody who has had a pet that's been injured or killed. for the most part and they're still considered a piece of property most courts are willing to just do the quickest possible analysis which is you know what if you pay for the animal how much should you suffer in terms of veterinarian veterinarian bills or that kind of thing in terms of caring for the animal and you know that's what you're able to recover rather than the sort of emotional connection that you have with the animal or that kind of thing in 2015 government agencies value human life between $6.00 and $9000000.00 to provide some leverage to consumers in the unfortunate case that injury or death were to occur in contrast within the pet food world no such evaluation exists even in the largest of class action lawsuits the money awarded to victims whose pets have been directly harmed by pet food is insignificant when compared to the massive profits that companies make each year. so as far as profits are involved there is

no incentive for companies to do what consumers believe is the right thing i'm sebastian gayo i'm the father of a theory of economy valuation of companion animals providing an economic valuation for companion animals creates a formula which can then be used to fairly evaluate the worth of a dog or cat the main problem in devaluation of companion animals was the discrepancy that existed between the true value of a companion animal that veterinarians were giving you in case something happened to them and the amount of money that people were spending on their companion animals if settlements like the $1.00 in 2007 were not in the millions but instead in the hundreds of millions that alone would be a game changer for corporations who would be under serious pressure to print recalls at all costs i don't think the playing field has entirely changed but it

might soon you know it takes a big case i think to to really change everything. susan to extend their run their website traits about pet food dot com. i started teaching people about pet food before the website began about 20 years ago my own dog almost overnight we noticed a tumor on her pulp and took her to the that any tell me that the it was a chemical preservative in the past food was more than likely this was bung cancer and this chemical preservative in the food was more than likely the cause of the cancer and i know my brain couldn't wrap my head around that how could a food that i trusted in this was the leading food in the united states at the time how could a food cause cancer and kill my dog and he said it was to

extend the shelf i will back then i have barely knew what shelf life was but i called this pet food manufacturer just to confirm because there was rowing doubting my own vet and asked them what the shelf life was of this particular dog food and what they told me literally changed my life and their exact words which are seared into my brain or the shelf life the pet food would stay fresh for 25 years there was that many chemicals in the food that the food would stay fresh for more than 3 times longer than my dog left when you have. our cat that pet food kills. your own pet am you poor and that food in their ball so you fill really responsible it is life altering this is an interesting quandary for the dry food industry because there if you want 2 things they'd either have to come up with

more information to be able to bash the raw food industry or the 2nd option is they have to listen to what clients are asking for which means really educated clients or are going to the veterinarian saying i want to see meat 1st. well i don't want to see extra carbohydrates i want to see no additional fillers preservatives or unnecessary created on the label so some of these fat foods have wisely decided to join the bandwagon this wild ancestors and you're done using the same branch marketing style that the major pet food companies established one company would soon challenge the industry's obsessive use of and stance on grains each year dogs will spirit with blue wilderness in their commercials blue buffalo took a bold step questioning ingredient i compare the ingredients and lots of them corn gluten meal to share exactly that is this style of marketing work and agreed quickly catapulting blend buffalo into a $1000000000.00 brand blue life protection foods are made with the finest natural

ingredients and start with real meat as they say you know you've made it when you're parodied on saturday night live brownie yellow corn chicken by product meal and the thing that gets to me is like what kind of person thinks it's ok to put a big drawing of a chicken on the front of the bag and yet there's no chicken and there you know one other comment i just can we make you like you have sex so i am back down again they want to get. the one company wasn't seeing the humor here rena and won't buffalo are locked in a nasty battle and it's all about what's inside those bags of dog and cat food. some people try to tell you that your dog is a carnivore and requires only a diet of meat they may tell you your dog is like a wolf but even a little stud is built on more than just meat blue buffalo claims its head food is free of chicken and poultry by products this suit alleges testing at an independent lab found significant percentages of poultry by product meal and blue buffaloes top

selling life protection products appearing in a suit blue buffalo for fulton advertising eventually leading to a class action lawsuit purina launched a website called pet food honesty. the irony of the entire lawsuit however was appearing as own lack of transparency when it came to their own products they refused to answer questions on camera about the quality or source of their own ingredients. since you guys are suing the buffalo for like transparency and brilliance i just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk to this gentleman to consumers about the transparency of your own ingredient. i will pass this along after purina failed to respond to our request we tried again so you don't have a idea of a day whenever you guys will buy 1st on. what i will not be responding so i am not sure i just kind of have to. you know when he would risk to. have the

information period no would not defend their own alleged lack of true transparency we reached out to blue buffalo as well who also refused to go on camera if this really was about transparency and honesty why was no one talking but the market for premium for is growing the fastest or pet parent thinking interest and natural food for their dogs and with american part owners expect to spend nearly 2 to 3000000 dollars this year on food for these treasured members of the sam lee the stakes are high the american holistic veteran medical's as the annual conference we have all of these great food suppliers that are there not only discussing the products that exchanging ideas everyone's very open veterinarians are capable of going from book to book to get an idea what the products are about how their manufactured ingredient list the owners of these small pet food companies are are passionate and wildly passionate about the products they're producing and they're eager to speak

with you and they want you to know more and they want you to ask questions. most companies that attended the trade show were happy to speak with our cameras around to show off their products and transparency. but when we revisited the science diet booth with our questions about the species appropriateness of their products in the sourcing of their diets we were refused interviews and instructed to contact their media apartment team so we did. a review but he also had not christian i just wanted to actually know that hero decided not to participate in the documentary all other major pet food brands also flat out refused or ignored multiple requests to participate in this film. all over the world independent pet stores are now offering a solution to the growing population of concerned pet owners. for almost their

entire existence major pet food stores only carry dry or canned food while independent stores are adequately addressing the concerns of their customers by selling wrong d. hydrated or alternative diets the industry has felt the brunt of the independent pet stores popping up across the nation in reaction they've launched their own chain smaller stores with the appearance that what they're offering is healthier. so many well intentioned customers are still left wondering what is the right thing to do. in the end it isn't about perfect it's just about knowing i just happen to see. increased health when you really can feed a biologically perfect diet we shouldn't his straight so far from it in the 1st place he has would have to get that there eventually i'd like to see that i believe is that guardians our job is to eat the best possible food that we can afford to

feed and many people cannot afford to feed that or call it quits so even within your dry food choices there are better quality dry food choices and there are terrible quality food choices and it's your job as a pet guardian to be able to know enough about nutrition to make wise health decisions for your pot with profits as their main goal the cycle will continue on and on again and again and when no end in sight. i urge. the end i.
