[rawfeeding] nasty emails

this is an email that was privately sent to me from a local group I am in....

"I Looked it up, too. and there are many risks in feeding raw meat to pets. I would advise reading both sides of the argument, not just the ones in favor of it.

the meats we buy are processed. what wild animals eat contains things we don't find in our stores - things that would help a wild animal digest the raw meat, as well as to resist certain bacteria and parasites.

to say that vets are just trying to sell a commercial product is oversimplifying. they may make money pushing one brand over another, but the people who started the raw meat fad can be just as agenda - driven. (selling books and other products, promoting websites, etc)

for your pet's sake, keep an open mind and look at both sides of the argument.

here's a sight I found on this... Personally I am not going to feed my pets
raw meets tho"

I have so many people now telling me I am doing the WRONG thing letting my dogs eat raw meat and especially the raw chicken bones. Did you get this reaction when you started?
