What more anecdotal evidence are you looking for that raw food works? Do you want our pets to become rocket scientists to prove that it works? Before I knew about raw foods, I fed my cat commercial pet food and at 15, she developed chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The animal hospital was only too happy to gouge me for the "treatment" and duplicative tests, none of which mentioned diet changes. After I took her to a holistic vet and we changed her diet, her disease coincidentally disappeared. She's now 19, eats raw chicken, heavy cream, sardines, and the like. OK, so she still can't figure out how to do my taxes using Turbotax, but if raw food presents so many potential hazards, why did you not interview anyone who had negative experiences with raw food? I've also never developed any bacteria-borne illnesses and thank you for telling me to wash my hands and my cats' bowls after each feeding. Duh!
