Melamine and it’s compounds hold food stuff together. That’s all it does. It’s a cheap sort of glue.

Animal and fish pellets do not disintegrate as fast before feeding it to shrimp or fish. FDA sources tell us 50 to 465 parts per million melamine us used in these pellets. In pet food the levels where 20 parts per hundred.

Dead dogs and cats promoted one of the largest recalls of pet food in U.S. history. Now we find it’s being fed to us. Some U.S. companies animal feed pellets containing Melamine ahead of FDA action.

Polar bears can swim steadily for many hours in order to get from one piece of ice to another. They have water-repellent coat and partially webbed feet, which both are adaptations to swimming. Although known individual bears have only been recorded swimming about 100 km (1km = .621 miles) or so, they are likely capable of swimming much further if necessary. However, this kind of effort is very expensive in terms of energy, so swimming such long distances is likely not done frequently. The longest a polar bear in the wild has been timed holding its breath while diving is 72 seconds. 

according to  http://pbsg.npolar.no/pb_faq.htm

Others say polar bears can swim hundreds of miles if they want to. They kinda just float and paddle as they see fit. They politicos use a polar bear hopelessly stuck on polar ice poster to suck you into their brand of emotional group think.

Portly dogs are now able to get prescription diet pill to fight obesity. Since pets seem to mimic their owners, the obesity epidemic has spread to the 4-footed creatures as well.

The FDA has allowed the first doggie diet pill called Slentrol, to line the pharmacy shelf according to an article posted in the Miami Herald - Jan. 06, 2007.

Too much food and not enough exercise has made too many pets get fat. Slentrol therapy is a bet the pharmacy is making that you will not do anything meaningful other than look for a cure in a bottle. They are betting you and your pet will not exercise.
