What's Behind the Campaign to Condemn Raw Diets for Pets?

I don't feed homemade raw, BUT it isn't because I'm worried about a deadly bacteria.   ::)

A few months ago I wrote about the flawed logic behind the American Veterinary Medical Association’s (AVMA’s) decision to publicly denounce raw food diets for pets. Many raw feeders and veterinarians with backgrounds in species-appropriate nutrition were angered by the AVMA’s position and questioned the motivation behind it.

Following on the heels of the AVMA’s condemnation of raw pet food came a similar position statement by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) that it “does not advocate or endorse feeding pets any raw or dehydrated nonsterilized foods, including treats that are of animal origin.”
