Does Your Dog Food Include Euthanized Dogs?

[ian allen]

Every day in the United States more than one hundred million pounds of
dead animals and animal parts are shipped to rendering plants.
These plants are in the business of disposing of millions of pounds of
dead dogs and other animals. The end product is then sold to
manufacturers for use in their product formulas.
The dead animal parts to be rendered include but may not be limited to
bones, feathers, undeveloped eggs, blood, tails, grease, spines,
hooves, heads, stomachs and small intestines of dead animals.
There is also a category known as Dead, Dying, Diseased or Decayed
animals. These also are rendered for use.
And some smaller rendering plants are not satisfied with this
ingredient menu.
These plants have found a steady source of "material" to render in
euthanized dogs from dog shelters. These dogs have been killed and
arrive at the rendering plant in a plastic bag, often with their
collar and tag intact.
All of the "ingredients" listed above, including the euthanized dogs
are used by minor and major commercial dog food manufacturers to be
part of your dog's daily diet....
