As soon as Menu Foods began their massive recall of contaminated pet food on March 16, a popular website for animal lovers - www.petconnection.com - began providing information to alert people as to what was going on and providing them with information they would need.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 56% of U.S. households are pet owners. I believe it is safe to say, people feel that they have been betrayed, and rightly so. It is clear that information was not disclosed immediately to the unsuspecting public. It was also abudently clear early on that reports on pet food recall issues were lacking at best. People were insulted by claims that fewer than 20 animal deaths had been reported. So, an online data base was created. Pet owners began to list their pets, symptoms and the like. From that source of information alone more believable numbers started to emerge such as 2,527 cats and 2,365 dogs dead to date. With all the heartbreak that is occurring due to tainted pet food, it renews ones faith in mankind to see how much these folks care.
