RE: Our Pets are still dying from treats made in China.
I was reading an article about the drugs we are giving the livestock that is raised as food, and I think this is the same one that Thor was referring to in his post earlier.
This stuff is supposed to make the animals grow faster, and have leaner meat. It is given to beef, prok, and turkey, most of which is also used in some brands of dog food. The drug causes heart problems in the animals they give it to, as well as the people or pets that eat the meat. In one test with humans, one person out of six that were tested had to be taken out of the program because it caused an abnormal heart rhythm. Not only that, but the animals become more violent and apt to attack the people who are raising them. They cannot take any kind of stress when they are given this drug, and apparently the pigs will actually turn purple, and die from a heart attack on the spot when stressed. Veterinarians are saying that this drug kills more animals than anything else does.
It is banned in most other countries, even Russia and China; and now some countries are not even allowing US meat to be imported into the country if it has been given this drug.
If it is that dangerous, it has gor to be affecting our pets that eat food with this drug in it as well ! !
