I'm wondering why Tom S has such a problem with people who want to treat their pets like they ARE part of their family...let them feed the what they want--why criticize someone for wanting to feed their pet good, wholesome food--what's confusing about that? Eating a mouse is far different than eating bloody sawdust from a meat processing plant..besides, i'd much rather spend a few extra bucks on food like blue buffalo than have my dog come home with dead animals every night.
