Do companies like Purina or Del-monte use dead cats in foods?
Hello Guys - Do companies like Purina or Del-monte use dead cats or dogs in their foods? I was browsing around and was kinda shocked at what people are saying and would like to know if it's true or not?
If true, do grain-free companies do the same? Hope someone can clarify Thanks! |

I heard that Iams grind live baby chicken for it food. What I do not like is the commercials for pets food on TV. You can tell the animals are not fed the way they gulp down the food so fast. The poor dog or cat can't eat the food fast enough and that mean they not had been fed for awhile. My pets never eat their food that fast. A lot pet food is made with byproduct and that can any part of an animals .

I have heard that... I honestly dont know if its true, but I also wouldnt be surprised if it was. Like barkingdog said, they use whole animals. I believe it was 1983 when the FDA approved the term "meat meal" which is every part of the animal, nails,feathers, etc.

Have you tried emailing the companies about the foods you're interested in, Yamcha? If you ask them directly if they use euthanized cats and dogs or if they use 4-D meat, you should get a straight yes or no answer. If they hedge, dodge, or otherwise divert from the question, it would certainly make me very suspicious about the protein sources they use...

My brother once went to a hotdog factory and he told our mother if she when she would never eat another hotdog again. So it would not suspires me at if it was true about pet food having dog and cat meat , I heard of horses being used in dog food. there is a coat store in my state that got busted for selling coats made out of cats fur. The store claims that did not know the fur was cat fur. RIGHT!
