6. I think it DID

Let me explain WHY I blame renderer's..Melamine is a chemical used to make plastics.

dehydrated food garbage, fats emptied from restaurant fryers and grease traps, cement-kiln dust, newsprint and cardboard, as well as cattle and hog manure. Chicken manure is popular, because it’s cheaper than alfalfa and hay (5, 20). Human sewage sludge is even used in some countries (19). The fur is not removed )and the dead animals are cooked at 115°C for 20 minutes (5, 7, 19, 20). And this can legally go into your pet food.

"Even plastic winds up going into the pit. Unsold supermarket meats, chicken and fish arrive in styrofoam trays and shrink wrap. No one has time for the tedious chore of unwrapping thousands of rejected meat-packs. More plastic is added to the pits with the arrival of cattle ID tags, plastic insecticide patches and the green plastic bags containing pets from veterinarians.
Skyrocketing labor costs are one of the economic factors forcing the corporate flesh-peddlers to cheat. It is far too costly for plant personnel to cut off flea collars or unwrap spoiled T-bone steaks. Every week, millions of packages of plastic-wrapped meat go through the rendering process and become one of the unwanted ingredients in animal feed.

A greater sensitivity of cats to a chemical found in plastics and pesticides could explain why they’ve died in larger numbers than have dogs after eating contaminated pet food, experts said Saturday.

The small number of confirmed reports of pet deaths bolstered by a far larger number of unconfirmed anecdotal reports suggests cats were more susceptible to poisoning by the chemical melamine that tainted the now recalled pet food, officials with the Food and Drug Administration and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said Saturday.

Remember.. melamine is used to make PLASTICS,and guess what renderers fail to take out of their dead animal stew? PLASTIC.

And was does a hazmat search on the names of melamine and it's chemical breakdown components reveal?.

CYANURAMIDE That I suspect may be the culprit and it is related to the breakdown of melamide from manufacture of plastic..A kidney toxicant..fancy that..Just a coinkidink?
