Funny how things all tie in. We're talking about pets and their food.

Since all this began, I have now ritually started looking at labels on food products to see where they're from. A part from trying to support my local suppliers, I have really started looking at any products from the ocean's.

In regard to where they're from.

I will wager that there will be a huge volume of cheap seafood making its way in to fertilisers, cattle and chicken fodder, pet foods and other 'filler' uses using GoM sourced aquatic life.

Labelling is such a farce these days, it makes it almost impossible to really know without taking the time to contact the companies themselves and asking.

That statement by one of the GoM fishermen saying the fish tasted like oil, and felt like rubber was chilling at the least.

Unfortunately, its all connected, its all just a matter of time for everyone else planet wide.

...and that doesnt even take in to account Venter's monsters.
