Only FDA Can Stop This Clock

It is probably the longest FDA investigation in history. The investigation of why thousands of pets have suffered serious illness and death linked to jerky treats sourced from China. The FDA investigation clock began ticking in 2007…and FDA is the only one to stop this ticking time bomb of pet death.

When will FDA stop this clock?

 

Jerky pet treats from China have been linked to pet illness and deaths for more than seven years.  High levels of illegal drugs and illegal levels of drugs were found in about 50% of the treats tested in January 2013 (by the New York Department of Agriculture).  Please FDA…stop the clock.

      I purchased a program – plugin – called ‘The Countdown Pro’. But looked and looked for something that everyone could share – never found anything. I think we’ll have to find a programer to take this on. But it is my hope we can do it. The best share would be the ticking clock. If I get it – I’ll let everyone know.

    I’m so sick of the FDA’s excuses. I lost four dogs, one of them my Service Dog, Bruiser. He had eaten Waggin Train & AKC’s jerky treats. I’m so sick to death with these “American Owned” companies committing genocide to a species, that is the reason they are in business.
    They should all be charged with Felony Animal Abuse, they know that dogs are dying, but they just keep selling poison.

      Cathleen, I can hear the frustration in your voice! Losing pets is bad enough, but a Service Dog??? I’m so sorry for all of your losses, and how they have made your life more difficult. Service Dogs need a lot of training, and having to start over again because of these profit-driven companies who don’t care about animals, ugh.

    You wouldn’t need a real vet, just an actor playing one. Just make sure you can’t be sued by China over it.
