Do you remember the children’s song Great Green Gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts? Here’s a new version of the song…the unofficial theme song for pet food regulation.
Fact: The FDA chooses to allow pet food to violate federal law. The FDA is charged with enforcing the full Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act – not some of the laws at their discretion. But unknown to most pet food consumers, food safety law is not enforced with pet food. The FDA ‘chooses to’ or perhaps better phrased ‘refuses to’ enforce law with pet food and all animal food.
On March 10, 2016 (during a meeting with pet food consumer advocates) the FDA admitted – without hesitation or remorse – they will continue to ignore federal law allowing adulterated ingredients into pet food.
The Unofficial Regulation of Pet Food Theme Song…
Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,

Susan this situation is an indecent assault on our pets’ lives. Why not start a petition through http://www.moveon.org to have everyone who’s concerned about the FDA’s practices voice their opinion and send a clear message requesting that the FDA adhere to federal law? It’s worth a try. Thank you very much for your efforts in exposing this and for all the wonderful information on your website.

Sounds like it’s about time for that and/or sending info to all of our elected officials. It’s an election year and you know what that means.

Moveon.org is George Soros-funded screed. Moveon.org hates what this country stands for. It is so far left that whenever I hear they are for or against a particular person, group or idea, I know to go in the opposite direction. Responsible dog lovers might consider doing the same. Moveon.org is dedicated to spreading political hate and I spit these people out of my mouth.

Moveon has one thing against it. They are of the animal rights zealot types. I am for animal welfare, for ALL animals and am vegan so put my money where my mouth is. I don’t agree about the political statement Jere made. Do you think Trump will change anything for our animals? Doubtful.

Great green gobs of money passing hand to hand
Buying off the FDA, oh so common in our land
Fat cats in D.C. laughing at the rest of us
Trying to throw us under the bus
Taking away what belongs to us
But harm our pets, and that’s where the tables turn
And turnnnnnnnn theyyyyyyyy willllllllllll.

Don’t call please those FDAs “cats” (even the “fat cats”) – it is insult to the cats. They don’t deserve to be called by that name. They are creeping, crawling creatures on pet industry’ payroll.

How about “fat bacteria”?
