Allow me to direct your attention to a
sad story about an older couple who were killed by a pack of wild dogs near their Georgia home. The woman was attacked first, and her husband soon followed to see where she had gone off too. The whole scene was discovered by some Jehovah's Witnesses on their way to visit someone in the neighborhood.
This is a sad tale, and it is not my intention to make light of this tragic situation. There was one bizarre detail included in the story that I feel the need to point out. A person in the neighborhood was apparently feeding some of the dogs before moving away. Slightly more than 1/2 through the article, the following paragraph appears.
The owner, Howard Thaxton, had moved out some months earlier because of health and financial problems but had someone drive him every other day to leave food for the dogs, said GBI Special Agent Christopher Bish. Several empty 40-pound bags of Ol' Roy dog food were strewn about the property Tuesday.
What the heck? This is a very bizarre detail to include. Why in the world would a reporter include the brand of dog food the dogs were eating?
I decided to investigate the matter, and I believe I have discovered what is going on here. Meet Ol' Roy.

The original Ol' Roy was apparently the beloved dog of Sam Walton, and Ol' Roy dog food, manufactured and sold by WalMart, is named after him.
A quick internet search will reveal many criticisms by the kind of people who would spit on a homeless person but treat the mangiest flea-bitten mutt to a prime rib dinner. In the perverse world of "animal lovers," feeding your dog Ol' Roy is apparently considered abuse, as it is thought to have "no nutritional value."
CNN reporter Mr. Jim Kavanagh capilized on the tragic deaths of two people by taking the opportunity to put WalMart and the kind of people who would dare feed their dogs a corn-based product down a few pegs by associating them with a pack of animals that kill people. Big Sam and his minions are no pushovers Mr. Kavanagh. Keep your eyes on the mail for the cease and desist order.
