"KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A Las Vegas-based company and its owners have agreed to plead guilty in connection with tainted pet food in 2007 that may have killed thousands of dogs and cats, according to a court document."

....

"Prosecutors said adding the melamine, which would allow it to pass chemical inspections for protein content, was cheaper than actually adding protein to the gluten."

I hope they get charged a 10x more than what it would have cost them to do it correctly, and lots of jail time. :no:

Pets have gone from property to family members in much of the world, but unfortunately our laws, corporations, and governments have yet to catch up with the cultural change.
