If you owned a food company, and your products were suspected in a dozen deaths, would you test the toxicity of your food by giving it to even more people? Doesn’t that seem a little, I don’t know, barbaric and asinine? Wouldn’t you maybe use, say, laboratories to test the food?

According to the Associated Press, pet food company Menu Foods—whose wet food products are suspected of killing at least 10 pets around the country—tested their recalled products on 40 to 50 dogs and cats. And, hey, guess what happened? Seven of them died. So, by testing their food to see if it was leading to the deaths of cats and dogs, Menu Foods just raised the death toll by about 50 percent.

Brilliant.

Let’s make sure they stay out of the baby food business.

Dead pets=Sad pets
