Horrifying, Laboratory Animals Rendered in to Pet Food
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 10:42 am
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/...

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

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.
