A woman whose 9-year-old fox terrier, Sampson, became
fatally ill after consuming chicken jerky treats earlier this year has launched
a breaking campaign on Change.org urging Nestle Purina to stop selling treats
she links to her dog’s death.
“Waggin' Train Wholesome Chicken Jerky treats were the last
thing Sampson ate before he fell ill," said Terry Safranek, who launched
the campaign on Change.org.
"I've since learned we're part of a known epidemic
of hundreds of cases of illness and death attributed to these and other chicken
jerky treats made in China," Safranek said. "Nestle Purina needs to protect other families from
what I went through by taking these treats off the shelves until they're proven
safe."
“Terry has connected with thousands of concerned dog lovers,
as well as others who have reported deaths associated with the chicken jerky
treats made in China,” says Stephanie Feldstein, Senior Campaigner for
Change.org. “Terry's Change.org petition
has turned her loss into an opportunity for Nestle Purina respond to thousands
of customers.”

I just signed the petition! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI wrote about this too Vicki. It just frustrates me to see this product on shelves in all the major big box stores. Some unsuspecting pet owner will buy it and have their dog die or become ill. So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are spreading the word.
You would think that corporations would voluntarily pull their products off the shelves if it was suspected of causing illness and/or death. So much for a corporate ethics!
DeleteHi. I've also signed the petition. I have my own business and I produce chicken breast jerky, as well as sweet potato and beef. I'm very cautious about the meat that I buy and have strict safety rules in place in the kitchen to ensure quality. My point is this; how/why is Walmart and Lowes still selling this stuff. Better yet, why are people still buying it? I make the chicken jerky right here in Ohio and it's starting to sell as fast as I can produce it! If anyone's interested, please visit my estore at www.bucknastyjerky.com Thanks and lets keep our dogs safe!!
DeleteWe cannot understand why it's still being sold, especially after all the press this has received - and all the social media outcry. Softpaws to Terry over Sampson's loss.
