Blue Buffalo’s Email to TruthaboutPetFood.com

Below is the email just received from Blue Buffalo’s “general counsel”…

Dear Ms. Thixton,

The rumor you reported about on May 12, 2014, about discussions between Purina and Blue Buffalo is not true.  There have been no discussion about any transaction between Blue Buffalo and Nestle Purina, or any affiliate of Nestle Purina.  Your cooperation in correcting this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Richard MacLean, General Counsel, Blue Buffalo Company.

    Nice! You couldn’t buy that kind of credibility just given to you by a couple of giant corporations who are worried about what you say! Good job, Susan! Keep up the great reporting of the facts!

    I’m lost. Why would BB send an email, now, about something you posted almost 2 years ago?

      This was from 2 years ago – I’ve just got a new theme for the website and it has changed the dates of all posts. Sorry.

        So the email was referring to the chicken by product issue? Is that what they mean by discussions between them and Purina?

          This is going to sound bad…but…I don’t remember what this was in reference to. I should have included that in the post, but I didn’t. Sorry.

    You posted earlier today an article “Are Pet Foods Safe” — but the link doesn’t go anywhere. Is this just a tech glitch — or something more sinister? Hoping to read the article!

      Yes – new theme – very much a glitch (my glitch – not something sinister). Something that I’ve been working on, but don’t have it the way I want it.

    I approve, the page loads so much better. I kept having to wait while the pages scrolled up and down by themselves.

    I love what u do, and staying informed even though I formulate doggie food from only human food and cook for my Sophie.
    I do want to say you could have written a small explanation for this post, and can you comment on the truth of the rebuttal?
