So, which one's going to feel worse:

the possibility that some sick f*ck deliberately snuck rat poison into a large segment of the pet food supply

~or~

the possibility that some f*cking incompetent left rat poison in a silo, warehouse or plant near enough to grain that it somehow got incorporated into the pet food supply

...?

Also, what's to keep this from happening to human food? Are pet foods just not considered as important, not inspected as closely?

Well given the E coli outbreaks from the summer, there's absolutely NOTHING to keep this from happening to human food.

More worried about the sabotage angle...........

Right, I get that. Point was, if these outbreaks happened accidentally and weren't caught til too late, imagine when someone does it deliberately...

And believe me, I work with food, I'm extremely concerned.

I've wondered if it was a test run for a nastier attack myself...

The rat poison in question isn't legal in the US. They think it was in a grain shipment from China.

The answer to your last question is absolutely nothing.

Some tit left a pile of poisoned grain in a park in Auckland the other day, and killed a whole bunch of birds. Frakkin idjits.
