[rawfeeding] Negative butcher

Ok, I went to a local butcher today to source a supply of bones for
my puppy, They were dumb founded that I want to give my dog RAW,
UNCOOKED, BONES, The butcher told me about to people he new that had
fed there dog bones and one was dead in 6 month, the other had a
calcium ball in his bladder and had to have an op, both he said were
caused by bones.

Now I've thought about this and there are alot of variables and lack
of info in these stories so I'm not really phased, although it did
make me feel like a bit of a lunny. Is this going to be the general
cencus from the butcher trade?

Anyway I can get lamb neck, ox tail, turkey neck (when in season) and
pigs ears from them. But this may be an uncomfortable arrangement as
I feel that they may call the RSPCA! or mental hospital. Do I just go
with it or try another butcher?

But on the brighter side, I gave my pup a chicken thigh tonight for
the first time and after working out what exactly she was going to do
with it, it went down a treat :) . So I'm really pleased with her.
