In any community you're going to find people who want to push things, and you're going to find people who want to educate and help others and people who are dead set against whatever that thing may be. It's a personal decision for someone to want to feed raw and I don't think it's fair to condemn someone based on wanting to feed raw. Yea you have your personal opinion, experiences etc but it's not like the raw diet is a new thing and there are millions of people who feed their dogs raw with awesome outcomes. I think this really needs to be an let's agree to disagree kind of thing. I'm sure Christina and Mary both will only feed raw when they feel ready to do so and I'm sure professionals will be consulted in doing so. Many of the problems you mentioned happen when people don't know how to correctly feed raw or just wing it rather than researching and transitioning into it.
This is what I mean. I never once condemned raw food or people for feeding raw. I was relaying my unfortunate series of bad experiences with people and the raw diet. I don't have problems with people feeding raw, so long as they do it right and do their homework. I would certainly rather feed raw than processed dog food. I even mentioned that if this area had a nutritionist who fed raw, people could learn to do it right and I wouldn't see the problems I do in the vet field.
