Dems in Congress (Kucinich, Durbin, DeLauro) take on the Menu Foods pet food recall
From HSUS.org

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) sent a letter to the president and CEO of Menu Foods Income Fund March 23 asking for detailed information explaining the contamination and subsequent recall of Menu Foods' pet food products.

I know that this is relatively "old news" considering, but it's good to see these folks taking on an issue that obviously has a great number of concerned folks out there. If this has already been posted, my apologies for the dupe. I've been a little out of the loop here, due to issues with my own animals.

1. I very much agree
I hope this puts the pet food out of business.

To someone like myself, I never had children, my pet became my children. i lost 2 to kidney failure and I'm nursing my 3rd. I will lose her too, how deeply it hurt to even write about this.

I am a true blue animal lover, so there will be a time I adopt again, and pet food will never touch their lips.

2. I just like it when congresspeople actually
step forward to do something besides equivocate and bluster on any issue.
