I'm not going to guess how many pets died, but I will bet it's exponentially more than the pet food industry want people to believe. It's horrible to imagine your pet dieing because of food you chose to feed him. Food you put your trust in.
To some it's just dog and cats, but to some of us they are furry children.

Cute sweetart.
Same thing happened to my dog. Except it was in July, '06. She was getting older (almost 10), and they were a little concerned about her liver, so we had an ultrasound probably 1 month before or so. Liver was fine. Nothing with kidney whatsoever. It was fine.
In 1 1/2 weeks from the first day she started acting sick, she was gone from acute kidney failure.
I have suspected it was the food (well, once I heard about it), but the "announcement" came much later than my dog's death timeframe. But I suspect it was going on much longer than admitted.
1 month before, kidney's fine. From beginning to end, 1 1/2 weeks, acute renal failure. It was just too weird.....
And porsche_o_phile, great thread!
