Vol.3 No.29 September 16, 2012
Citizens voiced concern last week at an unusually well-attended Trustees Board meeting. Open for discussion was the overgrowth of weeds and trees along the Delaware, particularly on the the east side of the City. While a majority strongly favors trimming to afford a better view of the river, Mike Alfree reminded the citizens that the City has notified the Trustees that nothing can be done without the approval and advisement of the DNREC. Alfree, stated that an appropriate letter will be forwarded to the DNREC. Further updates as they come available.

Don't kill your dog with treats. This new film from Boulder, Colorado-based organic pet food maker Bixbi Pet wants to educate pet parents about potential threats to their furry family members' health and call their attention to the dangers of tainted pet treats from China. According to the video, the creation of toxic chicken jerky remains largely unregulated in China, while U.S. pet food companies continue to source from the country, despite an FDA advisory a few years ago. Bixbi created this eye-opening video and is encouraging people to take action by telling the FDA and signing a petition online. ➔ FDA Animal Veterinary Recalls
Lost Dogs is a short film about thousands of dogs who got sick or died after eating tainted Chinese jerky treats.
