This is what it says when you click on about us....


Our Beginnings



Founded by a member of Mensa, the high IQ society, Pets or Food is dedicated to bringing together people and animals.





In 1987, Sidney Zwibel was working as an animal disposal technician at a Humane Society in Lincoln Nebraska. He felt that all the animals he was responsible for euthanising were being wasted, and the act itself was irresponsible and immoral in the light of all the people going hungry across America. In 1988, Sidney and a group of like minded entrepreneurs founded Pets or Food™ to take in homeless animals and rehabilitate them to fulfill their destinies as either loving family companions or nutritious, protein rich meat supplements to those going without.



What started out as a county wide effort in 1988 grew to become a nation wide endeavor with satellite processing centers in Boise, Idaho, Gainesville, Florida, Freemont, Texas and Eau ‘Claire, Wisconsin. Today, Pets or Food™ is responsible for providing over a billion calories a day to the needy and places thousands of pets with new owners each week.



Pets or Food™ is the leading supplier of animal products to the nation’s prison systems and was recognized in 1999 by Governor George W. Bush of Texas for helping to lower overall costs for the Texas prison system by almost 15%.

Totally Sick even if it was just a disgusting April Fools joke. There must be a way to get the site and associated links on the about us page taken down. Totally gross! What A&* H*&#@ !

This BETTER be nothing more than a sick joke...I am hoping and praying that this is heavy sarcasm; in other words it is supposed to grab attention and underline how humans treat the animals we share the earth with. The sad thing is it wouldn't surprise me if this was real!!!
The mere thought is vile, sick and disgusting!!! We need the truth here NOW!!

Thanks for posting so we at least know about it. A local family owned grocery store I always liked is now selling penguin meat at $5.99 lb. I could not believe that one either. I refuse to shop there. I don't think it went over very well, because at least it's out of their advertising. Still -- how sick is that? This internet company appears to be located in Texas. First, I'll find out if they're licensed to do business in Texas, and there must be some health violation. I wrote the the USDA who referred me to Dept. of Agriculture asking if they could stop the deer from being distributed as food without health inspections. The meat (gag) spoils within 2 hours, even if not diseased, it must have refrigeration. I'm trying to use this information for the deer. Still working on it.

Lajana said she tried to purchase a Bald Eagle to check it out but it couldn't process her credit card. She said some of her friends tried to purchase a cat... same thing. She tried to leave comments, but they don't show up, something about being reviewed. Totally sick.. all of it. Every tab on the site is awful. Sick!!!!!!!!

I just thought of something. The American Bald Eagle is a highly endangered species. There is no way he could sell even one for food at any price. Did Drew get this? He's an investigative reporter. He wrote the articles on the battery cages in that sick poultry farm.

The sight is a hoax...there are lots of clues -- like selling 'Dodo bird' for instance...

I'm sure that it was set up as a sick joke. But it's over the top and should be taken down. Disgusting!!!
