The FDA has said the affected foods contained wheat gluten contaminated with melamine, an industrial chemical used in plastics and fertilizer. The recalled products represent about 1 percent of all pet foods, the agency has said.
Sundlof told lawmakers the melamine probably caused the deaths of 16 cats and dogs. The agency has received some 15,000 calls about other illnesses and deaths, but he said its main priority was the recall of contaminated food.
Just had something occur to me this morning, isn’t this the way the whole Planet of the Apes started:
Building upon the description given by Cornelius and Zira before the Presidential committee in the previous film, a terrible disease has killed off the world’s cats and dogs, leaving humans with no animals to keep as pets, except apes. In time, humans notice the Apes capacity to learn and adapt, thus they are taught to perform menial household tasks. By the year 1991, human society has become a sterile and more oppressive culture, with apes used as an outright slave labor force by humans.
Funny coincidence?
