Coral's question about gun control

Script
Anchor Intro: The U.S. food and drug administration found 70 percent pet food products are imported from foreign countries, and it might affect pets’ health in the United States. Medill reporter Coral Lu found people are more likely to purchase made in U.S. products and local pet stores are more willing to sell local foods.  

Track: two bags of pet treats. Three hundred dollars. Buyers pay those high priced products that made in the U.S.  Nancy Mcinerney shops at PetSmart regularly just for those natural and local products for her dog. 

Soundbite1: Weight control at least for now you know, that’s what I think. I bought the grocery stuff before and I can see one of the little one is kinda getting weight. 

Track: But weight control cannot be the only reason to spend more money. PetSmart’s employee Andrea Long says made in U.S. food and treats are a sign of safety. 

Soundbite2: People feel more comfortable if the food is produced locally and within the U.S. so that we can guarantee all the products that we posted are what they say they are. 

Track: According to an article from Wall Street Journal, three thousand dogs and cats got sick after eating the food and treat that imported from foreign countries. Six hundred of them died afterwards. Vet Dr. Taryn Robinette says some foreign pet food does not only cause obesity problem but also some dangerous diseases. 

Soundbite3: They can cause some kidney diseases like signs, and mostly lethargy, having trouble with urination and drinking, and vomiting can be associated with it. 

Track: In most pet stores, their products marked as made in U.S. products, but some covers are showing the ingredients are imported, but there’s no further description.
