Horrifying, Laboratory Animals Rendered in to Pet Food

Post by Juan_Bottom »

As example, the University of Illinois and Oklahoma State University both allow test animal carcasses to be rendered. The University of Illinois website mentions their renderer does not pick up dogs or cats. However, all other test animals, and the diseases and drugs in their bodies, are removed by local renderers whose end products sell to pet food manufacturers. Baylor University website states "non-hazardous carcass waste" is removed to the area landfill; however "all hazardous classified animal carcasses shall be disposed of through a contracted waste disposal vendor" – a renderer. Please take notice of the Baylor University waste protocol; non-hazardous carcass waste can be buried, but hazardous animal carcass waste is rendered. http://www.baylor.edu/content/services/...

Imagine all of the waste test animals at all of the laboratories across the country, University or otherwise. Imagine all the test drugs not yet approved for use within these animal bodies. Many, many of those test animals and test drugs are rendered, along with other waste animal material (such as 4-D livestock – dead, diseased, dying, and disabled animals rejected for use in human food), and after the rendering process become ingredients in pet food.

Pet food ingredients that could possibly contain a rendered laboratory animal would be 'animal fat', 'by-product meal', 'meat and bone meal', 'meat meal' (not 'chicken meal' or 'turkey meal' or any other specific named meat meal), and 'Animal Digest'. The FDA has determined that the common pet food ingredient 'Animal Fat' to be most likely to contain a euthanizing drug, thus most likely to contain a euthanized animal. There is NO FDA information on exactly what type of euthanized animal could be in 'animal fat', nor what other drugs are in the ingredient (and in the other above listed pet food ingredients). There is NO FDA or CVM information on the health condition of animals used in these rendered pet food ingredients, nor the research data to know the health risk to pets. The FDA, despite Federal law against this, allows diseased animals and rendered laboratory animals to become pet food ingredients.


I have no idea what they just said. They are trying to say that you're feeding your dog lab rabbits and rats?

Ummmm....you might want to look into how a carcass is actually rendered. The process cooks and breaks down renderable material into many forms, some actually powder. Not much left that would be toxic remains, or if it is its dispersed at a safe level.

I'm not saying I agree, and absolutly it's revolting, but a dog will eat the ass out of a dead skunk that has been cooking for three days on asphalt in August. So a rendered rabit with a few meds cooked to hell and back isn't too worrying. Besides, all the other filler they put in petfood, like melamine....ect is a bigger worry.

Or what about BSE infected cattle? That goes into animal food for sure, if not into processed meats.And nothing destroys prions, so forget what sparky is eating. You can bet that shit is in Your Whopper.

The pet food industry began when the motor car became popular and horses were phazed out, straight into tins. Or so I heard.

So, if I leave a piece of meat on my shelf for 24 hours I can recycle it into hamburgers?

What's your definition of rendered? They create 3D models of the animals and process the design through a computer?

There's much less appetising stuff than that gone into kebabs, hamburgers & sausages. Besides, some meats (like beef, for example) benefit from a few weeks' maturing.

Leaving meat out to sit is nothing like rendering it. Plus, as Genghis Khant pointed out, often times meat needs to age a bit.
