Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2007Purina: YOU SUCK TOO
Friggin Swiss a.sholes. They don't even answer any emails. If nothing else, I've learned to stick to the good stuff: Wellness and so on. I think the decent companies ought to do an ad campaign along the lines of: "Buy quality, buy healthy, buy from us: we won't poison your cat like Purina, Nutro and everyone else will." You watch...Purina stuff and Fancy Feast will end up on the list. That has been my fear too. I also emailed them on Monday and this is Friday and still no reply - really nice. > Friggin Swiss a.sholes.

It would be stupid for them to deceive anyone as they would lose much more money in the long run than through a recall. >>Friggin Swiss a.sholes.

Your animals would be dead by now if there were a problem with Purina products. Has it occurred to you that millions of idiots just like you are emailing and calling them, as though they would not have already made a recall announcement if their products were involved? They might very well have every good intention of good customer service, just too many idiots are emailing them, so it takes a while. Meanwhile, my two cats are eating FF every day and they are happy as they can be. > > That has been my fear too. I also emailed them on Monday and this is > > Friday and still no reply - really nice.

No, it occurred to me that many large corporations don't give a rat's a.s (no pun intended) about anything but the bottom line. They could have set up an auto email system or hired someone like you to send out emails on a temp basis. To say my animals would be dead by now is just moronic. Not every pet is dying. Purina has been around for a long time, true. So had Exxon when their drunk (long-time) pilot got drunk and spilled oil. If Pet Smart can send out letters using their computer base of buyers (although with bad links), Purina can answer its goddamn emails. I have to get cat food today and I've been agonizing over it. How to balance stuff my picky boy will eat versus stuff without wheat gluten....I'm glad at least they think they know the culprit. >>>That has been my fear too.

That would have been nice but they don't need to do that since THEY'RE NOT ON THE LIST. Since when do the innocent have to be worried about others' guilt? > To say my animals would be dead by now is just moronic. Not every pet > is dying. But the facts show that pets who ingested the tainted food dies within a few days. It's been much longer than that since the story broke. > Purina has been around for a long time, true.

Purina HAS NOTHING TO NOTIFY ANYONE ABOUT. It's like me sendng an email to everyone I know telling them I'm not the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby. > I have to get cat food today and I've been agonizing over it.

I use the same stuff. on Fri, 23 Mar 2007 19:57:11 GMT, Running Scissors <runsci@yahoo.com> wrote: > It's like me sendng an > email to everyone I know telling them I'm not the father of Anna > Nicole Smith's baby. Heh.  SignatureLynne > Purina HAS NOTHING TO NOTIFY ANYONE ABOUT. It's like me sendng an > email to everyone I know telling them I'm not the father of Anna > Nicole Smith's baby. It's not about notification. It's about answering their goddamn emails. I want to know: DO THEY USE MENU FOODS? Yes or no. I emailed them and asked, and their SILENCE speaks volumes. Menu Foods is stupid enough to buy something from f.cking China. Regardless of what they do from this point on, it's obvious they're stupid and the bottom line is more important than buying safe products. I don't want to buy from any company that does business with them. That's it. So again, Purina needs to answer their goddamn emails and answer my question. I don't give a f.ck if they're innocent or not. If they buy ANYTHING from Menu Foods, I'm not interested. As a consumer, I have a right to know if Chinese CRAP is in my pet food. If I'd known ahead of time, I wouldn't have been buying it because as an organic grower, I know full well about Chinese farming practices. Case closed. > > Purina HAS NOTHING TO NOTIFY ANYONE ABOUT. It's like me sendng an > > email to everyone I know telling them I'm not the father of Anna [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Case closed. Purina did make an announcement--they used Menu Foods for a very small part of their product, specifically the Mighty Dog pouches. They've recalled those. They don't use Menu Foods for any other products. Here's the link: http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/purina03_07.html Lis >>>Purina HAS NOTHING TO NOTIFY ANYONE ABOUT.

Oh get over yourself. Just imagine how many thousands upon thousands of emails Purina has been getting lately. You'll probably get an answer in due time, and if they are in any way associated with Menu Foods, I'm sure we will hear about it eventually. Lots of people are asking lots of questions. The guilty will surface.

Not sure exactly what that means though. I think Purina should have either put out a press release saying that they didn't do business with menu foods, or at the very least put something about that on their website. > > Purina HAS NOTHING TO NOTIFY ANYONE ABOUT.

They voluntarily pulled one of their dog foods and if you read the tiny, tiny print on their website, you'll see it. But I agree. I think the (few) companies that DON'T do business with Menu Foods are being pretty clear and loud about it. The ones that are a bit more coy....I think their silence is telling. Even Newman's Own was coy with their language. My cats hated that stuff, but I still held it in kind of high regard. I think it was obvious in their letter that they do business with them. Companies would probably do a lot better public relations-wise if they'd just spit it out, make a statement that they'd put their trust in Menu Foods who always delivered in the past, blame it on them and say "We're going to do a full investigation to see if Menu Foods can ever be trusted again." That would look better at least. All this beating around the bush and vague language just makes them look guilty, like they've got something to hide. But then, I guess they do. Most people (including me) just ASS-umed the companies made their own food. >> I think Purina should have either put out a press release saying that >> they didn't do business with menu foods, or at the very least put [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > to hide.

You were the one who brought up the fact that Purina is an established company. That fact, like Exxon being an established company, doesn't mean they have not, or are not capable of, bad corporate practices. Do you work for Purina? If so, my sympathies. >>>Purina has been around for a long time, true. So had Exxon when their >>>drunk (long-time) pilot got drunk and spilled oil.

By announcing it to the group, you look like an idiot. "I'm not playing in the sandbox anymore! gonna go eat worms damn you!" And of course that means you can never reply again to anything I say or you really look foolish. :) on Fri, 23 Mar 2007 23:28:33 GMT, "Kittie Kat" <forward123123@gmail.com> wrote: > It's a lot more effective if you simply put someone in your killfile. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And of course that means you can never reply again to anything I say > or you really look foolish. :) Actually, I think announcing that you are killfiling someone is somewhat of a courtesy. This way you (the person who is killfiled) don't waste your time writing replies to the person who killfiled you. What I don't get is that why the hell people who KNOW they have been killfiled by someone continue to write posts to them? THAT, to me, is what looks stupid. YMMV. SignatureLynne > Actually, I think announcing that you are killfiling someone is somewhat > of > a courtesy. This way you (the person who is killfiled) don't waste your > time writing replies to the person who killfiled you. Oh, ho ho, nooooo. :) This is not the way it works at all. You're assuming the killfiled person is replying to the killfiler in hopes that the killfiler will reply to him. Or her. In fact, it is great fun to reply to stupid posts whether or not the OP has you killfiled. Don't you ever react without a thought of a response? SURE you do. > What I don't get is that why the hell people who KNOW they have been > killfiled by someone continue to write posts to them? THAT, to me, is > what > looks stupid. YMMV. What would look really stupid would be if any poster with something to say STOPPED responding to something another is saying just because that other has him/her killfiled. Again, people do not always respond to the posts of others hoping that they will respond in turn. I for one really don't care if idiots respond to me or not. Killfiling amounts to saying "shut up." Continuing to post regardless may then be taken as "Not a chance, you pussified control freak." on Sat, 24 Mar 2007 00:51:47 GMT, "cybercat" <cyberpurrs@yahoo.com> wrote: > Oh, ho ho, nooooo. :) This is not the way it works at all.

Or her Yeah, I am, because often times people who are killfiled will try like hell to get the person who killfiled them to reply. You know it's true. When I travel I have the great misfortune of being stuck with Google Groups and your buddy Barry still posts sh.t to me, even though he knows he's killfiled. Now of course I do have other people killfiled who I haven't announced simply because they aren't intentionally trolling, but they just annoy the feck out of me. > In fact, it is great fun to reply to stupid posts whether > or not the OP has you killfiled. Don't you ever react without a > thought of a response? SURE you do. But of course, darling!

Hahah, yeah, you are right in some cases, but in others, the killed are blatently trying to get the killers to respond TO THEM. I think it's ridiculous. I will admit to enjoying the hell out of how much it pisses some people off when they are killfiled, though. <3 Usenet. SignatureLynne >Friggin Swiss a.sholes. They don't even answer any emails.
