** A NOTE FROM DONNA **
ARE PETS AT RISK WITH THE MAD COW DISEASE PROBLEM?
Evidence suggests you need to consider where the meat is coming from for
your pet foods. Contaminated material from cattle infected with BSE has
been rendered and used in commercial pet foods in Europe. Most scientists
determined the practice would be safe; that BSE would not cross the species
barrier. They were wrong.
In 1997, Reuters European Business unearthed a 1991 study on the brains of
444 dead hunting hounds that suggested some of the animals had developed the
first signs of "spongiform disease." As of January 2000, more than 100
cats
in the UK had died from illnesses attributed to eating diseased meat
contained in commercial pet foods made in Europe. Some veterinarians believe
the actual number of cats who died from feline spongiform encephalopathy
(the feline variant of mad cow disease) is far greater.

Dr. Lorraine Day, M.D., says, "The Government says there is no problem
with
Mad Cow Disease in the U.S. However, they admit that cows in this country
have already been diagnosed with Mad Cow Disease. And there are
alsoTHOUSANDS of "Downer Cows" in this country, cows that are well one
day
and dead the next. When these "Downer Cows" are ground up and fed to
other
animals, the other animals develop the equivalent of Mad Cow Disease." For

This is just one more reason why we researched to find a pet food that was
wholesome and free from contaminated meats. Flint River Ranch pet foods use
no meat by-products. The chickens used are free-range chickens free of
hormones and antibiotics. Their main supplier of chickens are Amish farms
with a history of knowing how to keep things simple. If you'd like more

This is truly a sad state of affairs. It would seem some days with this
kind of news that our world is in the process of destroying itself.
Have a good week - ANY HOW! :-)

ENERGY FOR KITTY
"I bought the Nature's Ration Cat liquid formula. At least
one of my three cats liked it so much the first time she had
it, that I put the drops in a bowl and she licked it up. She
has an extreme amount of energy. I like the ingredients
in the formula." Mary Ann

** NATURAL PET FOODS MAKE A DIFFERENCE **
What our pets eat has a very definite influence on
how they feel and how healthy they are. Good food
pays for itself because your vet bills are much less
and they eat less food also. That means there's less
poop to scoop. :-)
