The people who are associated with this scandel must be punished.The brand or the organization who prepared this,will be stopped either,or have take all the responsibility for those babies who have affected by this poison ,melamine.It will be a good penalty for them.with death all things are gone.so death penalty is not an appropriate one, I think so.Let the culprit live and demolish their life with most painful way for their whole life.

Ms. Lance, you clearly don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘deliberate’.

Even after our 5 month old grandson was murdered by his day care worker in Sept ’06 I DO NOT believe in the death penalty with the exception of any person or persons who do what the peanut processing plant in Texas did and that was to continue to sell tainted peanut products that they knew could sicken and even KILL folks but they did it anyway! These are the assholes who need to be executed RIGHT NOW! We all know if convicted these creeps will probably get a large fine when in reality they should, at the very least, spend the rest of their natural lives in prison, with no possibility of any pardon, parole,etc!

Mystery, your point is well taken, although I am not sure that the recent outbreaks of salmonella or e coli or mad cow are not somehow deliberate. The rise of corporate agriculture and food production for profits has caused safety to be set aside. Of course, there is a difference perhaps in intentionality, but choices are always made on the corporate level that affect how health. I still don’t support the death penalty, but you have some very valid points in your comment.

What you don’t realize is that they DELIBERATELY used melamine in the milk products knowing full well that it is NOT safe to be used. They did it because they wanted to commit fraud. By using melamine (and of course not saying they put it in there) it made their product appear to be higher in protein that it was…and therefor it accidently seemed to pass quality control standards. Yes, this was definately a crime that was done to sell a cheap product for top dollar and make huge profits without caring who died…and when they did start to die..they hid the facts and tried to get away with murder…all for the sake of making higher profits. Yes, this deserves the death penalty. More than one child was poisoned for profit. This is much different than the salamonila peanut butter products we are facing. That is a case of a machine operator not properly cleaning? Certainly it wasn’t deliberately added to the products as a cheaper ingredient with the intent to deceive the public. Yes, it’s always unfortunate when any food goes bad and is sold….but that is way different from deliberately adding a non-food chemical known to be dangerous for the distinct purpose of fraudlently creating profit.
