That Promise You Made Was Only a Lie
Mood:  irritated
Topic: "Horsehockey" (3)

Frodo once got into an argument about the Book of Genesis.  It happened right about the time that the Georgia State Legislature, which is a well-meaning but undistinguished collection of unindicted co-conspirators, began to debate the issue of animal cruelty.  In the State of Georgia, such an act was defined as a misdemeanor, as opposed to a felony.  Every imaginable form of animal cruelty, from cockfighting to unimaginable neglect, was punishable merely by a de minimus fine and little more than a night in jail.  Frodo legitimately thought that once the issue was public that it would be impossible to argue against God's charge to Adam to exercise "dominion" over the creatures of the earth. 

The corpulent literal acceptor of the King James Version said, in front of Frodo, that the proposed legislation was "against God's Holy Scripture."  Frodo was unabashedly shocked, and made the mistake of asking for a rational response to what in the blazes did that mean?  Frodo was told that God's use of the word "dominion" meant that Man was to take complete and unquestioned control over the creatures of the earth.  This control meant that Man could not be questioned for exercising dominion over those for whom he was responsible.  Frodo was almost speechless, the moron was actually arguing that God told Adam to feel no remorse for his conduct toward God's creations.

Frodo learned that day that there will always be people with whom one cannot argue.  Perhaps that is one of the reasons that Frodo is so sensitive to the creatures of the Shire.  Not unlike the burden of the Ring, if not Frodo, then who?  

Pets are dying in America because of tainted pet food.  Frodo does not mean to suggest that the recalled products are anything more than unfortunately despoiled.  He does argue however, that there should be liability for a manufacturer, a distributor, and/or a regulator who are responsible for despoiled product in the hands , or paws, of a consumer.  That is the definition of "dominion" of which the God that Frodo knows used when he spoke to Adam.

That is an argument that Frodo will make every single day.

Name: "anonymous"

I had a minister, a man of the cloth, a very educated individual who I worked with, tell me of the truly horrible things he did to newts and lizards as he was growing up--of course, the details need not be passed on--and when he saw that I was just speechless, he said incredulously, "but they were just little animals!"

We all try to change what happens to animals, but mostly work really hard to do a good job and keep our own safe.  It's actually a whole lot more work than people realize when they first set out to have animals in their lives.  Over time it becomes part of life's work.  Maybe having so huge an affront as this petfood scandal happen--and part of that affront is to find that virually all the foods available are part of the same smokescreen labels--will open a few eyes as to the extent of the disregard!  That's not even it--the extent of the problem.  The extent of what animals are up against.

Part of reading about this recall was to find that the first 10recorded dead were  the company's own test animals, which they simply fed the food and watched die.

When you go to Menufoods you find it to be called the Menu Foods Investment Fund.  Well, There Is The Key.  Every outraged person should strike at the dollar level.  And never give up.

Also, don't be fooled by asking the wrong question.  I had a relative breathing a sigh of relief because she feeds Purina.  No, it wasn't on the "list", but it sure was in the articles.  Nestle's Purina.  What else is not on the list?  Hopefully, we will come to know. 

Yet we live in a country where we are able to hear about these things.  I guess that's the plus side.

Anon: When I was in college I had a poly sci prof who refused to buy any Nestle products, because that company had profited from the distriibution of a powdered baby formula in Africa. Seems the native women were mixing the powder with contaminated stream water, and this resulted in the death of many infants.

Frodo, there are two kinds of people in this world: animal lovers and animal haters. Do you think there is a genetic predisposition toward idiocy?

 

Finally, in all fairness, I have used Purina cat products for about 40 years and have had a lot of cats who were happy and content and lived to an old age, so I will reserve judgment here.

Hello, Verboten.  My point was not to come down on Purina.  In fact, I have had unusually good luck with dogs, cats, sheep, and horses, and I have fed standard food. 

 But, my point was, that when food is formulated as a chemical mix with the questionalble ingredients of petfood, you don't know when you will encounter a problem.  And, what concerned me more, was that Purina wasn't on the list, yet it was in an article as having been part of the recall.  To make a long story short--it's still an unfolding story.  Who should be on that list, just for warning purposes?

Purina has been part of class action suits in the past.  I was a person who had to have a Border Collie's shoulders restructured because of ingredients over-added in their food.  It's a business, and these things happen.  The real question is do you want to be that person without a chair when the music stops?  Not whether the majority makes it through.  Petfood questions seem more important when you surprisingly learn SO many are under one label, like this new thing!

I'm not one to have the answer, but I will probably be looking at buying clean meat, poultry, and eggs to add to Newman's Own Organic petfood--or someone else's organic because of the "food police" that police the organic labels.  Ha!  It's kind of like the government not wanting Hoffa to get away without paying taxes.  The organic labels have some watchdog capabilities.  I don't know.  I've always just looked the other way and hoped for the best.  Maybe times have changed in business.  Maybe as each problem comes up the company will fix it right away.  Seemed like "heads up".

Anon: Wish we could get around this "I wrote, you wrote" thing, but I did want to thank you for your last comment. How remarkable that you have cared for so many animals. Frodo and Sam have a whole menagerie! Greed has a lot to do with what we as consumers consume these days - cutting product quality while raising prices, then insulting us with the "new and improved" labels. I think what I eat and what my cat eats are crap shoots these days. He's very fat, and when I spent a lot of money I couldn't afford for months on expensive cat food, he did not lose an ounce. He loves to play in the woods behind my apartment, and the only explanation was he was eating mice or other small woodland creatures. Last month I made it to the bottom of a 42-ounce jar of Peter Pan peanut butteer - lot #2111 - before I even knew about the recall of that product. Thankfully, I was none the worse for wear, but it could have resulted in expensive medical bills. We just seem to be at the mercy of those who supply us with food products. Thanks for your deep concern for four-legged friends. :-) By the way, I am "Merry." I used to post on Frodo's blog as "Verboten," and then he gave me the moniker "Merry." Having just finished listening to the Lord of the Rings trilogy on tape, I am very touched by the "Merry" name. I just use "Verboten" from time to time when the mood strikes me. What shall we call you, besides "Anon?" (Frodo, is basketball over?)

Thank you!  I am, in fact, just a normal person out there living normally.  These last years have even me sounding paranoid.  But there is reason for that in a country which should not have it be so.  It's all always been there, but "on the run," I would say.  Food problems too.  I guess I always want to be on the look-out for that time when the problems aren't "on the run" anymore.  Hitting out at the animals, even by neglect or refusal to deal with it is dasterdly.  I use a euphemism.

Now there are 95 foods on the recall.  A company in business says they "don't know how this happened."  Began testing on Feb. 20.  Oh, I don't need to take up space here to tell you--you know what I'm saying.  Let's hope there's some follow-thru here.  Hope it's a breakthough.  It's not that we didn't know that our food or animal food was not necessarily safe--it's that we didn't know how far things have gone, under the guise of this knowledge.  You know, you wonder, why can't just one company be honest?  That's why I brought up Newman's.  I don't know, but there may be one out there.  I fear that business standard have gotten worse in the six years that were declared early on to be to bolster business.

 I like Anon, it's kind of Shakespearean.   My three-year-old BC has had some seizures, been feeding Iams, but am not ready to even think it's the food's fault.  But, I guess it's time to weed out the possibilities.
