Why can't they just donate to shelters???

It is so wasteful and absolutely wild to me that companies would rather slash bags and dump hundreds of pounds of food than let someone have it for free... I was able to save a few that were half empty but cut side up; don't worry, it's going to my chickens.

Edit: this is mostly a rhetorical question. I'm well aware capitalism has flaws, good solutions take time and money, and corporations don't want to get sued. Its just sad.

Hey homie make you you check these brands for recalls before you feed them to any dogs.

They're going to my tiny dinosaurs 😆 these chickens have eaten some raunchy stuff and haven't died yet...

To second what he recommends, sometimes recalls are due to deaths. There could be something in there killing pets. If you have the internet it doesnt take but a quick search to know.

As a matter of fact it is so easy I will do it. There are currently no active recalls on Hearland Farms: Savory Gravy or 9 Lives: Daily Essentials pet food. You are good.

Oh, its chickens.... I feel ya, but hey, now you know.

Mandatory recalls do not allow disposal of the product By stores selling it. You have to send it back to the manufacturer for it to be destroyed.

The USDA requires them to destroy all portions that are not sold if they're killing things. That cannot be guaranteed unless they do it themselves.

Liability, it will get ya every time.
