If I understand it correctly, MANY large, very high and low quality dog and cat food manufacturers receive their raw material from the same supplier.
It is at this very large supplier that the contaminated ingredient was introduced.
The way I see it, dog and cat foods are made from high protein grains and meats. Wouldnt rat chow be made from the same material? It would make sense to me that the rat chow producers might buy their raw materials, wholesale, from a big supplier...no? If I was a rat chow maker, I wouldnt want to bother with stocking all that junk, I would just order it.
Also, I think this contaminant doesnt kill the pet right away. It leads to renal failure over time, with consumtion. A rat provider wouldnt neccessarily have to be dishonest and freeze and sell dead animals. The rats could have low levels of the toxins and only after you feed the snake several meals, over time, might it do harm?
Just wondering?
