We see pictures of whole grains, prime cuts of meat and human grade vegetables on the bag, and we assume there's some chef in a pet food kitchen cooking up the best for our loved ones.
REALITY CHECK!
COMMERCIAL PET FOODS DIRTY, LITTLE SECRET:
If most people knew what was in their pet’s food — they wouldn’t feed it to them. Don’t be fooled by the big Pet Food Manufacturers’ advertising and commercials, ‘claiming’ their foods are healthy. These companies sole motivation for producing slick commercials (featuring active, healthy pets happily catching Frisbees in sunlit, flower-filled meadows) and selling bags covered with appetizing photos of prime cuts of meat, whole grains and fresh vegetables, and telling you how good their dog food is to make more money. But it’s all a cleverly designed illusion. Please read on. Those tender, fresh chunks of prime beef cuts pictured on the bags, are actually tongues, heads, tails, fetal tissue, and even diseased and cancerous meat - all legal because it is ’not for human consumption’.
When chickens, lambs, cattle, swine, and other animals are slaughtered for food, usually only the lean muscle is cut off for human consumption.This leaves about 50 percent of a carcass left over. These leftovers are what become what we so commonly find on pet food labels, such as "meat-and-bone-meal" or "by-products. So basically, what pets eat are lungs, ligaments, bones, blood and intestines.Some other things that go into rendering to make your Cat and Dog Food are:
* Euthanized companion animals Cats and Dogs
* Spoiled meat from the supermarket, Styrofoam wrapping and all
* Road kill that can't be buried on the roadside
* The "4 D's" of cattle: dead, dying, disease and disabled
* Rancid restaurant grease
When dead animals from cow pastures are picked up, they may not be rendered until up to a week after they are dead. Because of this, it is estimated that E. coli bacteria contaminate more than 50 percent of meat meals. The rendering process destroys the bacteria, but it does not eliminate the endotoxins bacteria release when they die. These endotoxin, which can cause sickness and disease, are not tested for by pet food manufacturers.
* Feline and canine cancer rates keep rising as does obesity and diabetes - and we wonder why
Huge conglomerates use pet food companies as a cheap, and even profitable, way of disposing of the waste from their human food companies. Three of the five major pet food companies are owned by these huge corporations.
Who owns what?
Corporation Pet Foods
Nestle- Alpo, Fancy Feast, Friskies, Mighty Dog, Purina One
Heinz- 9 Lives, Amore, Gravy Train, Kibbles-n-Bits, Nature's Recipe
Colgate- Palmolive- Hill's Science Diet
Proctor & Gamble- Eukanuba and Iams
Mars- Kal Kan, Mealtime, Pedigree, Sheba, Waltham's
Reporter John Eckhouse was one of the first people to discover the practice of sending euthanized pets to the rendering plants. He quoted an employee of Sacramento Rendering as saying, "Thousands and thousands of pounds of dogs and cats are picked up and brought here every day." When a vet tells a grieving owner that they'll "take care" of their dead loved one, they usually mean sending it off with the disposal company for rendering. This is all perfectly legal. Many veterinarians and especially shelters don't have the money to bury or cremate animals. Although many in the pet food industry deny that they use euthanized animals, proof that the practice goes on continues to surface. Over a few years in the 1990’s, veterinarians began reporting to the FDA/CVM that the drug they used for anesthetizing, and euthanizing, dogs—sodium pentobarbital—seemed to be losing its effectiveness.
This prompted the CVM to explore the most likely cause: animals were becoming immune to the drug because they had been eating food with trace amounts of sodium pentobarbital for years. The likely source of the drug in their food? Euthanized animals.
In 1998, the CVM went about testing dry dogs foods containing the ingredients meat and bone meal, animal digest, animal fat and beef and bone meal. They found the drug in 31 of 37 foods tested.
Two years later, they conducted a study to find the levels of the drug in parts per billion for each food. Some examples were:
32 ppb: Old Roy—Puppy Formula, chicken and beef
25.1 ppb: Heinz—Kibbles ‘n Bits Beefy Bits
16.4 ppb: Super G—Chunk Style Dog Food
15 ppb: Weis—Total High Energy Chicken and Rice
11.6 ppb: Pet Gold—Master Diet Puppy Formulation
10 ppb: Old Roy—Puppy Formula, beef flavor
The only way pet owners can possibly avoid using pet foods that include ingredients sourced from rendered dogs and cats is to read ingredients. According to FDA testing, "there appear to be associations between rendered or hydrolyzed ingredients and the presence of pentobarbital in dog food." (Pentobarbital is the drug used to euthanize dogs and cats.) The FDA found the common pet food ingredients Animal Fat, Meat and Bone meal, Beef and Bone meal, and Animal Digest "could include euthanized animals."
TOXIC WASTES:
Pesticides via poisoned livestock
Euthanasia drugs that were given to pets
Some dead animals have flea collars containing organophosphate insecticides
Fish oil laced with bootleg DDT
Insecticide Dursban in the form of cattle insecticide patch
Other chemicals leaked from antibiotics in livestock
Heavy metals from pet ID tag, surgical pins and needles
