"No Wonder They Call Me Bitch"

Wow, now that title alone is outrageous! The first thing i thought of when i heard that title alone i thought it had something to do with women. I do think the title was in bad taste. I felt that from reading the story the author could have found a better topic to go with the story. But saying that, "No Wonder They Call Me Bitch" is a hell of a metaphor. It grabs you and makes you want to hear more. Now the essay it self, i thought it was very informative on the inside scoop on dog foods. But to be honesty i wasn't surprised to hear what i read. We live in a money driven country, and would stop at nothing in making a quick buck, even if we put others in harms way. We are the dominate species on this planet and anything next in line seems to be expendable. Dogs and other pets have no voice, so they are often mistreated and abused right down to what we feed them. They details in which Hodgman described the variety of dog foods was sometimes, to much to stomach. But it makes you think, what are we feeding our dogs? I guess the companies who make them don't really care and just trying to fill a quota or something. Most people think of their pets as family and you would be flabergasted to know that your child's baby food could contain more than what's on the lable. We want the best for our families, so why not give the best to our pets. I hope that more is done to makes sure that these dog food companies are not putting things like undevoloped eggs, beaks, feet, and any other thing that would cause harm to our pets. They should be investigated and monitored on a regular basis. They only way that we can stop this is to speak up, and take matters into our own hands.
