Mice Direct FDA Recall

[wilomn]

So, are you saying that the mice, rats and chicks that had salmonella all came from different facilities and that Mice Direct has no culpability in the matter?

Are you not understanding that while it may well be present in their frozen food it may not be originating with them?

But they are the ones selling them. I am not understanding why the vigorous defense of Mice Direct.

Let's pretend I am an importer of snakes. I get a batch, from someone else, that is infected with disease. I then mix those snakes with the rest of my reptiles, infecting them. I then sell the snake, or other reptiles, to you and your collection get sick and dies. Who is to blame? It can't be me by your logic because the animals didn't originate with me. This just makes no sense at all.

If I don't follow proper and well known guidelines for quarantine and husbandry, it is NOT your fault. Doesn't matter what you did before I got them, I made the choice to purchase, therefore I, just me, all alone and by myself, am responsible for what happens.

However, we are not, as you seem to dim to understand, not referring to living reptiles but to dead, frozen, no longer living and not reptiles when they were(just to be clear) rodents.

You do understand why they're different, right?

Help me understand why it is OK to sell dead rodents contaminated with salmonella.

Instead of arguing with each other we should be asking how this happened and how can we all prevent it from occurring in the future. Instead we talk about poor Mice direct and the big bad government conspiracy.

I for one would feel more comfortable buying from them now than ever before but that does not alleviate the potential harm they may have caused.

If you're serious about this statement, you will simply not understand.
