The Pet Food Recall 1 Year Later – Special WomanRadio.org Program

Life changed for all pet guardians with the announcement of the initial tainted pet food recall on March the 16th last year. The announcement was not the beginning of the story and it certainly wasn’t the end.

Many people have commented on the blogs we have all come to know so well that something should be done in rememberance on this sad anniversary. This special programming on WomanRadio.org is our contribution for the companion friends lost.

Why is this travesty a woman’s issue? In the $40 billion dollar U.S. pet food industry, the average customer is a 40 year old woman. We brought the deadly pet food into our pet’s homes.

On PETitionz.org, over the last year, 94% of the people commenting, voting and contributing were women. Many women viewed the pet victims as “canaries in the global coal mine”. It is a warning that our children could be the next sacrifice.

Please join us starting at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (11 a.m. Pacific) in honor of friends lost. See the announcement below for details.

On Saturday March 16 web radio station Womanradio.org will present special programming for the first anniversary of the initial pet food recall of 2007. It will begin at 2 p.m. EDT with the premiere of “Make a Change”, a song for the friends lost and hurt. We thank noted musicians Karen Phillips and Yohanna Vanderkley of Webbils and Songs for their contribution.
