We can’t give up just because there are people out there who choose to remain clueless or be sheep. Not when there are people out there who, like us, want to do better, if someone would just point them in the right direction. Those pets have a chance, and I’m not giving up if there’s a way to reach their pawrents. There is no one else but people like us, because we can’t count on the majority of vets, the FDA or the PFI.
I was thinking along the lines of, what really happens with the majority of people, such as in MC's OP.
Will skip the "Pediatricians prescribing coen chips" analogy right now, as pets are considered just "property":
Houses are property and the National Association of Home Builders, backed by the Board of Realtors, wouldn't be allowed to **Convince** every home-buyer/owner to install Chinese Drywall and asbestos in their homes because these things are "Best" for houses (due to the Asbestos makers and Chinese Dry Wall Makers funding them, which also wouldn't be allowed).
They could share their
personal opinions that it is best and it is what
they prefer, but would they be able to state it as *Fact* EVERYWHERE without some big-time stink from
ANYBODY? I don't people would excuse them.
And what would happen to them if they tried stating it as "Fact"? Would people give them a pass because of ignorance? Or just stick to our secret Internet pages,
while it would be impossible to find homes anywhere in our areas without Asbestos & Chinese Dry Wall?
Since most houses would
already have the CDW & Asbestos intact throughout, how many people could afford to import the proper supplies from say Switzerland, and have their homes custon-built with that? And then who could they FIND to
build it correctly? The bulk of US builders won't BUILD -- or diagnose structural issues -- without the CDW & Asbestos!!
All the Mediots would also be in an uproar (for ratings) --
and that would be only IF the asbestos & Chinese Dry Wall COs
advertising revenue weren't so
crucial.
Where is the accountability?
This part of the analogy --
while it would be impossible to find homes anywhere in our areas without Asbestos & Chinese Dry Wall is
reality where I am, and
something, ANYTHING should have improved since the mass recalls...yet it's gone backwards.
(Back then, could run out and buy foods like Wellness, Innova ... Natural Balance, which USED to be safe. And the PETCO had never even HEARD of
Soulistic when I asked why I couldn't find it in the store recently
)
I wish we all could physically live with our pets Online in one of the safe online communities, but we still need physical supplies, and care, for our pets.... so
right back to the bolded analogy above.
We are STILL not backed up as even "Consumers" in ANY way. Still.
