This is very upsetting,we had a wonderfull house cat we loved very
much. He got out and a neighbor would put out antifreeze to kill
wild cats. Our cat suffered,before i got him to a vet,it was heartbreaking
we had to have him put asleep. And now this.

The part about ther Children,just so sad but realy a lesson. But i'm vey
glad you posted this. I read it 2 times,wasn't sure,but i am. Sue

and incredibly sad since the "company" manufacturing the alleged glycerin was not licensed to make "pharmaceutical grade" materials. The Panamanian tragedy may not be the end of the story since it will take some time to unearth the shipping histories and relabelling of the material but then too the pet food story is probably far from over since a second compound, cyanuric acid, a swimming pool disintectant, has been found and now linked w/ melamine to the increasing numbers of pet deaths worldwide. You don't have to have a pet to appreciate the anguish this has and will cause.

All in all these types of incidents will probably become more common in the future.
Thanks for the poignant and timely reminder Billye,
