I would hope that Champion would have more integrity than this but maybe money is the honey. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen.

Nestle owns Purina. They should stick to their chocolates!

Like all big companies, if this is true it’s for money. [MENTION=15424]MFrey2012[/MENTION] from what I’ve googled this Rodney Habib from FB was brought down from snopes.com as some of his older post weren’t true. Hopefully this one isn’t. Let me know what you find.

I should drive there. It’s just an hourish from me. Go give them my 2 cents

"If the sale goes through…will consumers buy Orijen and Acana if it is a Purina product?" Why woudn't they, since there is quite a lot of people who buy Purina sold as Purina. If there is a few who don't it doesn't weight much in the big picture with a companyt that size.

OMG... why is everything about money in our country?!! Small companies that do well don't even have a chance... or maybe that was their plan all along was to sell and move on.

You’re right just about money. If Purina sticks with the recipe n doesn’t alter it, that might be another story. But as we all know Nestle is buying out high quality products. They even have an agreement with our “dumb” government buying our water to bottle it. Last year on this tv show called “marketplace “ exposed Nestle n our government how our water is sold a few pennies to Nestle. Nestle is selling our water overseas. Now the government has to fix their agreement with Nestle cause we Canadians won’t lose our beautiful lakes n all to money grab companies.
