You know, I found out when we took the boys to that casting call that Mars Pets has a GINORMOUS office building complex in Franklin, TN. I had NO idea I was so close to their Bainfield-is-a-bane-on-doggie-health-with-their-over-vaccination-drone's brain-rulers.

A snip of the two lawsuits:

Quote
A lawsuit was filed against Mars Petcare in August 2012.  Court documents claim railcars bringing raw ingredients (“grain, bonemeal, and other organic materials”) into the plant “were not properly cleared of the dangerous fumigants containing Phosphine (PH3) gas before turning those railcars over to Mars.  Those dangerous gases were allowed to accumulate and disburse into the Mars plant at unsafe levels.”

Jerky Treat Lawsuit Continues
A post on Bloomberg Business Week tells us that Nestle Purina tried to dismiss a lawsuit against the company regarding Waggin’ Train jerky treats – and Purina lost that effort.  The lawsuit will continue.
