1. I'm so disheartened by this whole situation

I'm a horrible person, but I am more concerned with the children, but yes, the pets are going to suffer, too.

Snyder should hell to pay for this debacle.

2. My husband chuckles that I give my pets filtered water

but I asked him why its so funny that we should filter out impurities and give it to them? I’m going to show him this. Thanks!

PS - I don’t have any kids so don’t think I’m poisoning my children.

6. I'm right there with you.

I use a Brita filter for our water, and would never dream of giving tap water to our dogs if I won't drink it like that.

7. We have a reverse osmosis system and lots of pets.

The animals clearly like the RO water better than tap water. We would not think of drinking or cooking except with the RO water. If its good for us it definitely good for them.

8. Does that treat the water for the entire house or is it just on the kitchen tap? Nt

9. Just the kitchen tap.

And I route the drain output to the rain barrels outside.

3. Of course anyone or anything associated with the Flint River

is going to experience difficulties. Common Sense and all points to the obvious!

4. Believe it or not, this might get a lot of people to pay attention

who otherwise might not have. Far too many 'Murkins value animals over African American people.
