Support Stronger Regulation of Pet Food Industry!!!

 This just came to us from a friend and I thought I would really like to share this story with you...

Currently, these are quotes from the United States FDA website regarding regulation of pet food safety:

"The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requires that pet foods, like human foods, be safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances, and be truthfully labeled."

"There is no requirement that pet food products have pre-market approval by the FDA. However, FDA ensures that the ingredients used in pet food are safe and have an appropriate function in the pet food."

If that's all true, then how do they explain this?:

This photo was taken yesterday at her workplace. She noticed a truck come, take a couple of barrels from behind the store and replace them with two more. She asked the manager what they were for and he replied that: "They were for disposing of the nasty stuff we can't use... it'll make people sick." Needless to say, she went around later on a cig break, saw the label, and was FURIOUS!

Out of curiosity, she decided to stake out the barrels for a day and was horrified by what she saw: people using them to dump used motor oil, garbage and as toilets.

So... what I want to know now is how does the FDA define "inedible"? Does that also fall under "safe" and "appropriate function"?

Please sign our petition to ask the FDA to STOP FEEDING OUR FRIENDS POISON!
