Beaufort, SC (AHN) - Margaret Trask, apparently an ardent animal lover, went on a shopping spree and bought more than $1,000 worth of potentially tainted pet food from her local Wal-Mart store only to dump it all. Trask's efforts were aimed at preventing the several animals that might have fallen sick or even died after eating the food recalled by its manufacturers.
Canadian company Menu Foods began a voluntary recall of wet pet foods last weekend after reports of animals suffering kidney failure after eating the now recalled food emerged, according to The Beaufort Gazette.
After hearing the recall, Trask followed her conscience and went to her local Wal-Mart store and filled a shopping cart full of canned pet food.
She returned Wednesday morning to buy more food, but on her third trip that night store officials asked her to leave.
"They said they were going to call the police if I didn't leave," Trask told The Beaufort Gazette said. "They wouldn't let me buy the food because they said they knew what I was going to do with it ... All these brands should be off the shelves until they know what's going on -- these people just don't care."
To bring more awareness on the recall, Trask has also placed ads in the Classifieds sections of two local newspapers outlining a list of all recalled food brands.
