Since the recall last year was only in the vet channels
you must have let some vet charge you for feeding your
cat poisoned food. You're either stupid, a liar, or RC had
two recalls last year. Which is it?

Sounds to me like you like it too.

Ignorance is bliss.

Your aggression over such a sensitive topic is hard to understand and
quite disturbing. This group is designed for concerned pet owners,
talking about the health of their pets. Do you even have a pet? Or do
you simply come in here to vent your own misguided emotions? Shame on
you.

Messages like this, crossposted to many groups and extolling the virtues of
corporations shown to have been at fault for various things, are usually a
cross between spam and outright propaganda. They are also usually and
insult to the intelligence of the average human, and certainly beneath cats
and maybe even dogs.
When called on it, the propagandists usually play the "aggression" card
accusing the accuser of things like "misguided emotions." It's a pattern
that is not only recognizable to seasoned newsgroup users, but it's like a
fingerprint in identifying corporate propaganda. The propagandists usually
have a litle booklet somewhere telling them what to do in certain
situations. The pattern is so recognizable because they all use the same
book.

'Seasoned newsgroup users' - is this a joke? Sounds like anti-
corporate propaganda (or a competitor) to me. I guess the 'average
human' as you put it is not allowed to voice their opinions if it's in
support of a corporation. Not all companies are evil empires Fred. I
am a pet enthusiast - I breed dogs, I compete in agility trials and I
fully support my choice of which company I use to feed my dogs and
cats. I've been through the gamut of sponsorships over the years with
other companies and was so impressed with these guys that I will
certainly stand up for them when I see unfounded slander pointed their
way. In the end, all that matters is the health of dogs and cats, and
any company helping us to that end, deserves full support.
