Does anyone have a link to the vets to find out how many pets in this country have died from the petfood?

heart o' gold February 27, 2010 at 9:22 am: This will never truly be known because so many of the deaths won’t be reported. Given how widespread this was I’d imagine the number to be at least a couple thousand, probably a lot more. Old or ill animals would be much more vulnerable and their owners might not even realize what killed them, I’m still finding people this long after, who have pets, who don’t know about it.

The FDA has a link also..

DP February 27, 2010 at 10:23 am: They don’t know how many actually died from the petfood. They say ‘ hundreds, possibly thousands ‘
The news says that they expect to find many more cases coming out.
Menufoods seems to think it’s a very low number, but they are responsible, so they would..
