That sux! :shocked: I"m ticked and my dogs weren't affected, but tons were!

I'm glad that they "fully expect" cooperation from the Chinese government. In the past they haven't exactly been cooperative. :rolleyes: Also, later in the article they were claiming that the wheat gluten was not meant for pet food so they aren't responsible. Sounds like passing the buck to me! And of course we won't want to offend the Chinese government so nothing will happen. *sigh* I hate politics and really hate it when it touches my life.

If it wasn't meant for pet food, then what, or whom was it meant for?

I heard this on TV this morning - EXCELLENT QUESTION!!! I'd like to know the answer. I hope heads roll, wallets empty and jails fill!

Yes, was it meant for HUMAN consumption? That doesn't sound good either. I'm careful not to buy chews from China since they don't have the same regulations (and US made ones are harder to find) but then you worry the ingredients are imported and they're made here.
