One reason I don't like Facebook in A mish mash of entries

“don’t give your dog’s any food bought in B&M i.e beef jerky,dog treats etc made in China. Vet has had to put 2 dogs down in last 2 weeks as they are injected with something that destroys their kidneys! vet has put a report in but may take time to have stuff removed from shelves. tell everyone you know with a dog.”

Forget the crappy grammar - one single Google search showed this had been responded to and denied by B&M a year ago which rather makes a nonsense of “Vet has had to put 2 dogs down in last 2 weeks” - unless of course there has been a quantum leap forward in the time fabric of our world and we somehow lost 2016. Which might actually be a damn good idea!

There are plenty of similar scare stories about pet treats on the internet, but I have yet to find a single solitary one that names a credible source.

Why oh why do people repost this sort of nonsense without checking if it’s true first?

“I thought I’d share it in case it helps somebody.” “It might be true.” “Better safe than sorry.”

Really?

I’d love to see more reasons in the notes :)
