Fetchin' the Truth about Dog Food Regulations

handle is hein.journals/lyclr29 and id is 209 raw text is: FETCHIN' THE TRUTH ABOUT DOG FOOD REGULATIONS Abra Slivinski* INTRODUCTION What would you do for a Scooby Snack? For those who have watched the animated children's show about a dog and his mystery-solving friends know that Scooby Doo will do just about anything for a Scooby Snack. But what if the ingredients in those Scooby Snacks were hidden beneath complex language and misleading labels allowed under the existing regulatory framework? It is doubtful that Scooby would be so eager to dig into that dog treat if he knew it contained chemicals and foreign products, or that it was made using unsafe manufacturing procedures. What is actually in our pet's food and how it is made is an unsolved mystery. It is time that the general public jumps into the Mystery Machine with the rest of the Mystery Gang and follow in their grand-old-tradition of debunking and unmasking the mysteries. At the end of every Scooby Doo Television Mystery episode, the criminals yell, and I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!' It is time the general public discovers the truth behind the deceit and trickery about what their pets are consuming. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the federal agency responsible for regulating pet food, snacks, and treats.2 The FDA's role in regulating pet 'Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (Taft-Broadcasting 1969). In the final scenes of each television broadcast, the Mystery Gang unmasks the offender that has been causing chaos the entire episode. Following the unveiling of the offender, each states And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids. After this the offender is taken away and the Mystery Gang closes the episode. 2 Animal & Veterinary: Pet Food, FDA, http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/Products/AnimalFoodFeed s/PetFood/default.htm.
