Or was it a test run to see how easy it would be to mess with our food supply?

I was just wondering how many people really thought that this was a true "accident"... that is all...
I think that it is not...somewhere along the way someone did something... but that is just me.

I think what you said it plausible. But either way, it's a shame we rely on such despicable countries for so many things. Why can't America produce anything anymore? Why do politicians hate American workers so much (rhetorical question)....

Lets not get carried away by the conspiracy theories Chances are, it was accidental.
Chinese corporations that deal with North America as suppliers are subjected to a lot of testing and scrutiny. The system has inbuilt safeguards , at least we are all made to believe that. If you were one of those suppliers, would you jeopardize multi million dollar contracts with a stunt like that? That is fiscal suicide. How can they survive the lawsuits?
There is hell to be paid when it will be proven that
1. the end consumers (pets) died due to the contaminant in the food we said it contained
2. prove that this ingredient was placed there purposely as part of the formulation
3. prove that it it was accidental or intentional. Both scenarios are lose -lose. Accidenta?l- That is negligence.
Intentional? - Then it is criminal
Many of us are watching all the developments.

well, I don't want to be mean... but your idea is a bit silly... mainly because this "test" would clearly lead to more watch over our food supply...
if they wanted to do something, it would have been big, and all at one time... in human food supplies... they know where it is going... a sneak attack that we may have never seen is most effective with no possible warning..
A MUCH MORE LIKELY senario... would be people who are annoyed with the huge amount of China/U.S. trade poisoned the shipment (which hurt no actual humans) to cast doubt on Chinese supplies and trade overall...
and an even more likely senario is it was accidental, since things like this do happen from time to time (peter pan peanut butter), and people don't usually poison food supplies very often on purpose...

Given that the supply came from China, and given that in recent history, China hasn't proven itself to be especially "careful" with it's handling of disease, germs, and the human populace (SARS, thosed diseased chickens they burned in a giant bonfire, and the return to squallid potential-SARS breeding grounds), here's what I think:
1. It was NOT a "test" to see if they could mess with our food supply. Everyone knows that anyone CAN (Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide several years ago, cyanide in our Chilean grapes a few years ago, anthrax scare).
2. It WAS typical Chinese carelessness with food handling, especially since it was "only" animal food they were making... the culture does not tend to "pamper" it's pets like many Western cultures do. (That info, about the pampering of pets, is from my Chinese friends here in America).

I'd go for the test run theory. There's just something about this that tells me there's more to it than what we're being told.

No, I think China did it in hopes that we would mail our dead pets over to them so they could serve them in resturants....it sickens me when I think of how many people lost their dear lovies (pets) because of that food being poisioned...THANK GOD my pets are okay because I'd be on the war path right now otherwise

It was the ferrets. Dogs and Cats have been America's foremost pets for decades and the ferrets just snapped out of nothing but sheer jealousy. Unfortunately for them, their diabolical plan was foiled by none other than..
UNDERDOG!

i think it was intended. they said the chemical that was used can make more of the product, that would cast more money they are looking into it. they need to realize some of the dogs and cats that died was very expensive. there was breeders and show dogs the died. i payed $400.00 for my peek. i payed $200.00 for my Chihuahua. thank god i i didn't get a bad bag.

It could have been planted by a certain group to put US into even more reliability of govt or for more regulations.
