"...there may have been SEVERAL thousand who have or will die that we never hear about.

I'm guessing at least 10,000.

Agreed.

Over 1,300 reported dead on the petconnection.com database.

Note: These have not all been substantiated as definitely related to the recall (i.e., they may or may not have proof that they ate food from the recalled batches... if pet died 1 day before the recall they may have thrown out the food containers so they can't check the codes, etc.).

[BagCamAddict]

Agreed.

I called my 3 local TV news stations this morning because they're still reporting "over 16 dead"... I wanted to alert them to the huge discrepancy in their numbers vs. the petconnection.com numbers (and to rag on them for not doing their homework better), and NONE of the people I spoke with had even heard of the petconnection.com database.

So if the news people, who's job it is to investigate this stuff (I know, I know, they don't investigate, they just report the wire stories... but I keep hoping)... anyway, if the news people don't know about petconnection.com, think how FEW people in the general public know about it. In other words, if only 1% of the population even knows about petconnection.com to report their pet's death, and there are 1,300 dead reported already... imagine how many deaths would/will be reported once the general population starts to hear about petconnection.com.

Scary.
