Struggling families can now apply for nonprofit's Pet Food Stamps

58 mins ago

Although the government has offered food stamps to struggling Americans for decades, there haven't been any provisions for their four-legged family members.

Until now. Marc Okon has launched Pet Food Stamps, a New York-based nonprofit that will give qualifying pet owners throughout the U.S. (who must be receiving government assistance for themselves) funds to buy food for their animals from the website PetFoodDirect.

In the program's first two weeks, Okon says he has already fielded more than 12,000 applications.

"It's aimed at preventing people from having to choose feeding themselves or their animals or having to surrender them to a high-kill shelter," Okon said.

As long as it's all privately donated money, then I approve. Pet food can get expensive when times get tough, and I hate to see the furbabies go hungry. Or to have families go hungry to feed their furbabies.

That is awesome, you can also go to your local animal shelter or call charity groups if you need pet food. The animal shelters are often pet food banks. No Joke.

Re: NOW! Pet Food Stamps for struggling families!
The thought of a special website for these pet food stamps brings me back to listening to the Coast to Coast broadcast about pet food being made out of....pets. Dog food with someone's dead dog ground into it. I think of this being an easy way to provide people with pet food and feel they're definitely giving them the cheapest around. Though, I remember hearing that the main guest on that episode claimed she had not found an even remotely brand name dog food which wasn't contaminated in this manner. In essence, all pet food contains dead pets.

This is long overdue. Too many animals have been given up or abandoned because their owners couldn't afford to care for them anymore.

The risk far outweighs any benefit as the risk will vary from child to child.

Re: NOW! Pet Food Stamps for struggling families!
People who can't afford to feed themselves and their kids should not have pets. It's nice that this guy has started a non-profit for this. As long as he is not receiving any gov't grants, I think this is OK. Although, again, when people are bankrupt and depending on gov't to feed them, even if they get the pet food for free, are they able to afford shots/vet care, etc? Doubtful. So then should they keep them?
