The issue is not whether or not it will harm Fido…the issue is to help the millions of human beings who desparatley need this crucial medicine. That has proven to help in many many ways, including biofuel, and all of the other product and by products to help man kind. So this whole Fido issue is just plan STUPID!!
So we should make chocolate illegal now?
Only for your pets?
