The president of pet food maker Menu Foods, which last week issued a recall of 60 million cans and pouches of pet food after a rash of animal sickness and death, said today that the company would reimburse pet owners who can trace their pets' illnesses to the company's products.
How do you reimburse someone for killing their pet? Whiskers was a beloved family member, he is irreplaceable and he is DEAD! No amount of money will bring him back to life. And the company KNEW the pet food was contaminated as early as February 20th, before Whiskers got sick. If they had only done the DECENT thing and recalled the pet food sooner Whiskers would still be alive.
While Henderson described himself as "angry" over the massive recall and the impact it has had on hundreds of pets, he also said the company has not stopped manufacturing at the two plants believed to have produced the contaminated pet food.
They haven't stopped manufacturing at the two plants that produced the contaminated pet food? How callous can you get?
Instead, he said the company, which manufactures nearly 100 brands of dog and cat food, will immediately begin testing any "suspect raw materials" to identify any additional contaminated products.
How many more cats and dogs will die because of this companies greed?
"We have the support of our customers, we have the support of our employees," Henderson said. "We're confident in the future and we remain confident we can put this behind us."
Really, they don't have the support of this customer. I will NEVER buy any product that has any association with Menu Foods or their parent company Procter & Gamble.
