dog food that was causing dogs hearts to enlarge, because they had a contract with the company that manufactured it. They had a print off of straight up apologia I was expected to recite to every customer who raised concerns over recent court cases.

State-sanctioned dog abuse. what-the-hell

"You may not realise this but I'm actually a small business owner and returns and complaints like this hurt my business." Straight up trying to guilt trip customers into keeping garbage they were tricked into buying

The smol beanification of the rich. Somehow the actual worker is an after-afterthought and somehow only the capitalist is the ultimate victim and poor widdle guy is just forced to be reliant on the charity of others! Take it from someone who’s even worked non-profits, behind all of them is someone proudly being the ultimate charity case.

My dream was to be a paleontologist when I was a kid, and I would have been a damned good one, I know every dinosaur.

Really cool and good we live in a system where all jobs worth a damn are luxury jobs only for a small select elite. I wish you all the luck in the world if you can one day make it a reality.

Solidarity comrade, thanks for the fresh slop btw

Yeah, a lot of the grain free dog food, which got really trendy there for a while, was blocking absorption of taurine in dogs, I think mostly because of poor research and planning on the manufacturers part, they just wanted to get on that train.

Dog food in general is incredibly depressing when you take the time to think about any of it. Can you imagine feeding yourself with nothing but $30 a month? Even $100 a month which is widely considered exorbitant for dog food by most people's standards, at least in the US.

What could you possibly put in there that qualifies as nutrition and not straight up poison? We wonder why dogs only live to be maybe 20, and of course natural senescense plays a major role there, but I think that at least part of it is because the best you can hope for out of kibble is stuff thats manufactured by companies like fuckin' Colgate.
