Whoa - MF mills other animals under a different name? I'd like to know more
about this - privately is fine.
Bob C - good points about the legal issues, inspections etc. However I
believe the USDA has jurisdiction about inspecting commerical enterprises
like MF> having dealt with the USDA once I know that their laws and
standards are very much oriented toward commerical purposes of animals to be
killed for food, fur etc. I dont want to debate whether companion animals
and stock animals should have the same treatment. Lets just say that I
certainly believe that the conditions the USDA thinks are OK are definately
not anywhere near what I consider OK for a companion animal. So if the USDA
is inpsecting MF I have no faith that thinks are ok. Maybe this is the
place to start - getting inspection practices changed somehow. Either a
different agency, different regulations or something. Otherwise I'm not
sure that the AHA, SPCA or any other group can really get involved.
