u dont wanna go there....
oh so you are some authority on spam now? see what i did there?
I had a dog that I cooked for (healthy dog food recipes). That dog didn't know what dry dog food was. He was health as fuck we ran and played all the time and then I had to give him back to his real "owner" after a year, because that was the agreement. I take care of him until he can. I originally thought it would just be for a month. I'm never doing that again. I grew super attached to him and the assholes never had him vaccinated like I was told. I got him at close to 9 months. They got him back and he died of parvo in less than 3 months. I was so mad I wanted to kill someone. I came over to visit him and find him in a back room pissing and shitting all over himself dying. If I would have had access to a gun a I would have shot him right there. Needless to say we were friends after that.
Raw pork is always a bad idea. All kinds of nasty can come from that. That being said, I know a couple people that feed their dogs a raw diet and they are fantastically healthy dogs. It's far from the WORST idea. It's not an undertaking to be taken lightly though and it's not for lazy people.
The idea with a raw diet isn't to feed them whatever dated scraps you can pick up at the meat counter for cheap, it's about getting fresh cuts from the butcher. Mostly chicken backs and that sort of thing. The size of the dog, determines what prep you should do with it. A Lab or other fairly big breed can chomp through a chicken back like it was nothing and suffer no ill effects whatsoever. Give that to a small breed and it might pose a choking or blockage hazard and so you want to grind that meat and bone (same goes for cats, and you need to augment with Taurine). The smaller raw chicken bones are not a problem for dogs to digest. Never ever give them a cooked bone. They splinter into sharp pieces and pose all kind of problems.
Beyond that you vary the diet with fresh fish, veg and fruits, nuts and vitamins.
Fresh raw poultry, fish and beef poses little health hazard to your animals and even less to you. Unless you're vegetarian I'll guess you handle and cook raw meat fairly regularly. Parasites can be an issue whether you feed your animals raw meat or otherwise, but you should be deworming your animals either way. They can pick up parasites from all over the place. Dogs should be given heartworm tablets as well if that's prevalent where you live. It comes from mosquitoes.
I'd be game to try a raw diet for both the dog and cat but I fall well into the lazy category. We feed them premium wet and dry foods. The majority of the dog's diet is made up of Orijen kibble from Alberta, Canada. I highly recommend it. It's grains, corn and rice free. Remember, ingredients are always listed in the order in which they appear in greatest quantities. If the food you're feeding your animals has grains, corn or rice listed among the first ingredients (if at all really) then it's crap.

Honestly I really don't give a fuck if BigWill spams or not, and neither should you. The only reason you care is because you're a jealous failed marketer after Penguin blew you out of the water.
BigWill is a confirmed WF success story, so I'm not sure why you're hating on him so hard. Whether or not he spams or runs paid subscription MMO forums is totally irrelevant. It's the money he banks in the end that counts.
Nobody gives a fuck that BigWill violates your narrowly defined personal ethical standards.
nope, I care, because someone should. This guy is ridiculous.
He starts an MMO forum which he hardly touches. Spams people to death. When he's called out, he goes all apologetic about and tells some lies about the unsubsctibe link(happened more than once).
Than goes on to make another shitty MMO forum.
profit?
Now, I see why you wouldn't have a problem with that. But I do. SO... smallwill... stick to w/e you do best... making MMO forums.
kthxbye
PS: i've never touched SEO work in my life(as most people perceive SEO anyways). The fact that you make assumptions like that speaks enough about yourself.
kthxbye x2
I assumed you did SEO work and got blown out of the water by Google because you come off as a jealous little hater that makes no money.
The fact that you're jumping all over BigWill over his business practices on a totally unrelated thread speaks volumes about yourself. So shut the fuck up already. Nobody gives a fuck what you think.
Thats not me... You know that the only place my name on a forum is BigWill is this one and one other industry forum.
bluechinagroup pretty much said it best.
I feed my dog mostly dry dog food. Sometimes I give her plain white boiled rice and chicken. And of course, little treats from time to time like lunch meat or peanut butter.
She's 8 years old and perfectly healthy.
If you are going to get a dog on a raw meat diet, would probably best to start the diet while they are still a pup. Dogs don't do well when their diet is suddenly changed.
