Only In America

Menu Foods, other pet-food makers and retailers have agreed to set up a $24 million cash fund to compensate pet owners whose cats and dogs became sick or died after eating food that had a contaminated ingredient from China. The filing period for claims began May 30 and will run until Nov. 24.

Almost 6,000 claims have been filed in a class-action settlement stemming from last year's massive pet-food recall in the US.

Thats a cool $4,000 each up for grabs for every poor little bundle of fluff who suffered an upset tum-tum. I wonder how many of those claims are going to be fraudulent then? Woof.
