They Call Us “Concern Trolls”

You should change your avatar to a “concern troll”. Hahaha

The fact that they’ve named us “concern trolls” means they recognize that we exist. It also means that they’re “concerned” that we exist. If they weren`t concerned they wouldn`t acknowledge us.

Maybe they should eat some of their “upcycled“ ingredients. Or better yet, feed that garbage to their children, two and four-legged.

All we ask is that they disclose the truth about their ingredients. All they`re asking is that we stop making people aware.

Keep up the good fight all. Thanks Susan for being a true and committed leader!

LOL! Take it as a badge of honor!
Those who cannot argue with facts always resort to name calling and mud slinging. They have tried so very hard and failed spectacularly. Consumers are waking up and once awake will never go back to sleep. Quite the opposite. They will wake up the ones still asleep.

A toast to all of us, a very big one to Susan. When all these big, powerful interests have left is petty name calling, I call that a big, fat win! Let’s mock them and ridicule them. Make fun of them. They have shown us the emperor is naked and impotent.

Whether it’s false economic “official” reporting, regulation or disregulation (unregulation) of human food, human pharmaceuticals, corporations illegal activities and goals of creating oligarchies, government sponsored “science” (which is in the service of government not necessarily citizens), real estate market manipulation to impoverish everyday people while lining the coffers of the already mega-rich, electronic, mechanical, toys, even auto safety where complaints of dangerous issues are met with skepticism and gaslighting, people in the US need to wake up and understand that from the top down this country is insanely corrupt to a level seldom found even in third-world so-called “banana” republics. The ONLY way to live one’s life is to rely solely and only on oneself and protect those one cares about whether human or our pets by self-education. Many times that includes determining the very best way to feed our two and four-legged loved ones – home prepared 100 percent organic preferably sourced locally. And NEVER trust ANY veterinarian who is peddling ANY of these pet foods. Those foods CAUSE the issues they claim to treat or cure, just the same as overvaccinating CAUSES the very sicknesses (and worse) than those they claim to successfully prevent. Both are cash cows for cynical and predatory veterinarians who are only in the profession to grab as much money from pet owners as possible. Educate yourself to PROTECT yourself and PROTECT your loved ones. Then act accordingly.

They and the tactics that are used to diffuse public reaction against what has been doing and continues to be in the US pet food industry are disgusting.

But this is never going to change.
You really have to just stop buying it, that is all.

This it not going to stop, they are going to continue to squeeze animal protein out of the “food” they manufacture and hawk to their fellow citizens and knowingly harming animals w every latest Madison Ave sleaze maneuver, the US specialty. They are winning US “s-u-s-t-a-i-n-a-b-i-l-it-y!! prizes and accolades, and generating bogus ‘achievement stats’, for harming pets, in a nutshell. By making and selling food that is species-inappropriate as anyone with even basic science background would know. And are going to keep doing it. While pushing pet ownership for everyone! Bc: dollars!!! Billions. Incl from pet supplies and the overcooked cereal waste they shove down people’s throats for their pets’ daily consumption, using “health professionals” and glitzy packaging, knowing full all the health problems it will cause, that will then be treated in the same gross system. And getting awards for this. In a country where the human population consumes 10 times more resources per capita than anywhere else in world. With a 34% rate of food waste alone including meat.

This is just how it is here, nothing can be done about it, in this “free society” we live in. Just.don’t.buy.it, is the only action you can really take.

I feel like a proactive citizen more than anything. My artistic expression of documentary filmmaking can be a powerful tool to help others understand an extremely difficult topic. FDA, lobbying and states make wide ranging claims. I have filed FOIA requests, asked questions, filed lawsuits, citizen petitions, and discovered a lot of information over the years through these various processes. Most recently, FOIA request are proving that FDA hasn’t conducted any scientific review for many major pet food ingredients, while AAFCO, FDA, state regulators and lobbying groups proclaim everything is based on “science” and FDA performs “scientific review.” When using law to investigate this claim with many pet food ingredients, FDA’s response has been “we have no records” for many of the ingredients I’ve attempted to see science for.

HPP being marketed as raw? FDA has essentially zero records on the issue. They’ve been forced to admit they’ve never even investigated the matter. They don’t wish to speak about why USDA’s approach is different.

States and FDA continue to cut out citizens and operate their private corporation AAFCO. Remember when it was discovered the regulators had the same lawyer as the regulated industry? Then didn’t give two cents when confronted?

Name calling won’t scare me from doing the actual work, getting the actual documents and proof behind a lot of regulatory claims, and then reporting on that in another documentary, book, and possibly additional lawsuits when necessary.
