The scam, out of shaken faith and deceptive practices, activism is born

So, you are the educated pet owner.  You would not feed chicken treats from China to any of your pets.  But you have seen them for sale. At pet stores, {shame on you!!!!} at 2nd tier stores and discounters {greedy bastards!} ...

You have even witnessed the deceptive practices to induce the consumer to buy them...

You know,  where they "bundle" two packages and bag them so that the country of origin is NOT visible.... and they place them right next to the single package with a different county of origin... And the consumer thinks he is getting the right product UNTIL he gets home...

LIKE THIS!


MADE IN CAMBODIA

SINGLE PACKAGE.... MADE IN CAMBODIA

SAME  BIN, NEXT TO THE SINGLE PACKAGE, THE "SALE ITEM" WHICH APPEARS TO BE AN IDENTICAL TWO PACK BUNDLE....

NOTE THE PROMINENT WHITE LABEL CONVENIENTLY PLACED OVER THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN?

PLACEMENT WAS NOT ACCIDENTAL... IT TAKES A LITTLE WORK TO PULL THE BAG DOWN TO READ THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN... LOOK AGAIN.  COUNTRY OF ORIGIN?  CHINA

YES THE PACKAGES LOOK IDENTICAL.

SO WHO CAME UP WITH THIS SCHEME? I KNOW THAT THERE ONE STORE I WILL NOT TRUST EVER AGAIN....



If you have fallen for this deception, TAKE IT BACK TO THE STORE AND  SHAME THEM!

You are angry, you are tired, you are ashamed of your own humanity because the greed you see cheapens your own sense of worth. I get it.  But frustration should be your impetus for change.  USE YOUR WEAPONS.  We live in a world of social media and the virtual pen which has proven to be far mightier than any sword... Look at  the "pink slime" fall out, the BOA card fee fall out... It takes your outrage and a few clicks to create an avalanche of opinion and reactions.  SOOOOO,  the FDA is still screwing around?  Shame on them.  Maybe we should have another campaign to re structure that whole Monsanto  retirement funnel....   But that's for another day.

Today, let's focus on this:

PS. daddy, stop beating yourself up. You trusted... we don't even get these, we haven't seen these in a year in this house... it's ok. It's not your fault.  We still love you, but our treats are in the refrigerator, in the big box.
