AVMA Policy to Discourage Raw Feeding... Common Sense?

AVMA voted in a new policy that strongly discourages anyone from feeding their pets a RAW meat diet, based upon the possibility of Salmonella contamination.  
Please consider the following: 

1. "Pet owners have been feeding raw diets to their dogs and cats for decades, yet to date, not one documented case of raw pet food causing illness in humans has been reported. Not one." *Dr Becker Article 

2. "To date, there have been no published reports of salmonellosis occurring in dogs as a result of exposure to natural pet treats.”  *Dr Becker Article 

3. the MANY recent RECALLS of processed pet foods & treats, for SALMONELLA CONTAMINATION (as well as other reasons such as other pathogens, mold, toxic additives, etc) as recently as yesterday! see: Dog Food Recall- Salmonella 

4. There are board members of the AVMA that are also board members of big kibble companies... conflict of interest there? I think so! 

In light of this,  many vets are going to wonder why more & more people do not trust their recommendations and the AVMA's recommendations, as we pet owners use our common sense and start to realize what is happening here, as we begin to do our own research and choose more natural products and ways of caring for our pets!  

Thank you Dr Karen Becker for once again telling the truth clearly & concisely! Dr Becker Article
