Sad, I can't imagine this happening to one of my pets. Glad I was aware of the pet food industry and was feeding a high quality food.

I would wager there were 10 times that number that dies and even more that fell ill but may have been undetected to the pet food

These stories keep popping up over and over. Stricter regulations need to be followed in order to protect our pets!

So terrible. Seems to have served as a wake-up call, since companies have been more pro-active about recalls recently

I bet the numbers are really higher than that. If an elderly pet passed away due to the food poisoning, people may have shrugged it off to age.

Sad that so many pets died and people had to suffer that loss. I hope and pray that there will be better laws in regards to food distributing and that people are more careful what they are feeding and know what is in and where it came from.

It is sad that all those innocent pets died because they were fed. They didn't know what was happening and neither did their owners, it makes you wonder if it will be over and safe. Lets all say a little prayer for the ones that passed and the owners left empty hearted.

There was no need for this to happen, but, unfortunately, it did. We should learn from this horrific situation & ensure this doesn't happen again!

My Sweetpea was almost a statistic, but we didn't know it at the time. Before the news broke, she became violently ill. I got her to the vet immediately, and his quick actions saved her. No one knew about the pet food debacle at the time, as the news didn't break for another week. The vet told me on a subsequent visit that it was most likely contaminated pet food.

I wonder how many more died because of it, but their owners didn't order a necropsy? And how many vets didn't report it because the pets passed earlier, before the official report and recall was made.

My pup underwent painful bladder surgery for stones and I so wonder if it was because of his food... He's now on prescription food which costs a lot but so far it's working. I'd gladly pay for the prescription food with out complaint but upon opening a can of the diet, there was a ball bearing--obviously from something in the process machine. I emailed the company and they didnt even respond.... A little worrisome, I think!!!

300 is a huge number of animals! Very sad. If it was people it would have gotten a lot more attention. They really need to do something to prevent this from happening again.

I feel very sorry for all those who lost pets. I am sure they in some way blame themself as they selected the food there pets received. I hope we learned some thing from this so it doesn't happen again.

I am glad that we found what was poisoning our pets and that we put the Chinese pet food connection on a lock down. My thoughts go out to all of those pets that lost their lives through this tragic situation.

I feel so sad for the families that lost their loved ones. This recall made me lose trust in some of the products I gave my pets. I read the labels on their products now more than I do for myself.

My dogs used to eat one of the products that were on the list. I got a feeling that it wasn't good for them, so I switched. If I had not switch my dog or dogs could have died.

As long as we encourage price over quality this is what we will get. As stockholders we want huge returns and companies want double digit returns and double digit growth. What is wrong with reasonable returns and reasonable growth,,,maybe even no growth as long as the company continues to make a reasonable profit.

We as stock holders have demanded from our companies unrealistic returns for money that we invest...yes we worked for the money we invested, but then we expect the money we invest to grow at unreasonable rates.
