Comments on Raw Diets for Pets Endangered by the AVMA?

Talk about ILLogical. There was even a line somewhere in that final ruling about keeping your dogs away from carcasses while hunting. Are you kidding me?

There's another commercial group. Outfits like rodentpro.com and hare-today.com. I balance my cats' raw diet by feeding whole small critters. I can't get that from the meat isle at my grocery store.

I had seen the article a couple of days ago and while I agree it's absurd and obviously a marketing propaganda for Purina, I think most of us who feed species appropriate raw aren't buying pre-packaged commercial raw diets, we're balancing the ratio of raw meat, raw bone-in meat, and raw organ ourselves from whatever human-grade source we can afford, be it grass-fed/ pastured meat, store-bought meat, or meat from a co-op. However, I suppose some of those raw diets have their place for those who don't have the time or proper understanding of how to supply the necessary nutrients to mimic what would be available as mother nature intended in the wild. So for those of the raw feeding population, I am worried.
