There's probably some used to be raw feeders who have hit the risks who probably 
wouldn't agree with you now and didn't know the real risks until they hit them.  I think 
anybody who goes that route should be educated and informed about what they're 
doing.  I've already heard too many that really weren't, they didn't know, were 
uninformed that could happen to their dog.  

Unless someone in the US is going to find themselves an organic farmer who is 
running the least risk factor on farming practices you're getting into what you buy the 
animals are fed stuff to make them grow fast, given antibiotics, and mass produced 
together for slaughter, and now getting into genetically engineered to produce more, 
it isn't what it was 40 or so years ago.  I fail to see how that can be seen as healther 
and will reduce the risk of cancer<gr>.
