dear rayelan and readres of the site, i like to remind you that:

a) usa and switzerland are so called sister republics, the secret relations of these two beautiful countries are not known to many people
b) nestle engages always top ex leaders of banks and politic as counsellors, as with paul volcker, guess why.
c) if you noticed this last 12 months mergers between switzerland and usa and viceversa amount ca. 40 billion dollars!!!
d) but i ask myself really if our beloved dogs,cats and birds care about the trademarks and politics we are talking about. my dogs are always patientally waiting that i am giving them the rest of my dish and if they realise that i eat all, slowly slowly they move to the pet food pot from x company.
e) nestle invests always in the future, the dividends and the shareholder value are glorious facts, i wonder if nestle neglect the coming crisis, the pets would be the first victims, or if the speculation is that the ingredients they use to produce our animal food is so fatly subventioned that the 10 bi usd invested are paid back within short time, and they do not care really about our pets.
f) our pets cats and dogs, we know it, are transmitters and receivers of signals, we, humans feeded with i do not know with what cannot anymore, receive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
g) oh, about canned pet food, it is more than a rumor that many chinese restaurants use canned cat food to create marvelous chinese dishes. too pitty that this info cannot be used for the publicity.
h) is it true that many poor people eat canned cat food because gifted from shop owners? yes it is true.
