[rawfeeding] re: Freecycle post

I followed the previous advice about advertising on Freecycle for old meat. I even made sure I said it was for my dog so people wouldn't think I wanted it for myself. The issue I'm having is that within 5 minutes of me posting the ad it was answered by someone telling me that feeding a raw diet is way too hard and technical for someone with my obvious lack of experience to be able to do it right. Basically they said "Raw is a tricky process. It's not just raw meat and without the proper additives, you could do alot more harm
than good."

Robin -- first, disregard all this nonsense! 'Tis pure silliness and lack of knowledge on the part of the poster. Rawfeeding is very, very simple; and very, very natural to our dogs! You can do this.
Secondly, if you post again, on Freecycle or other source, simply state that because of health issues, your dog has to eat home-prepared food. It's true, but doesn't state "raw," and because of misconceptions, ignorance and/or brain-washing, many folks don't understand feeding our carnivores. This approach lulls them into acceptance.
