Rendering companies take these animals and turn them into feed
ingredients that are then sold to pet food manufacturers. Animals that have
been condemned for drug residues (hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, etc.)
are part of this source.
By-products can even include the dogs, cats, and horses that have been
euthanized (put to sleep with a drug overdose). And, if you're a good label
detective, you'll see these ingredients listed in the first few lines in a pet
food ingredient list.
Why? This is the protein. How usable it is or how toxic it is doesn't
seem to matter as much as the bottom line: it's cheap.
Commercial food is born.
Another common unhealthy ingredient is the preservatives, ever wonder how
a 'complete' food could last on the shelf in a paper bag without going
mouldy
for weeks to months? BHT, BHA, and ethoxyquin are the usual ones used in pet
foods.
These are toxic, the last one actually classed chemically as a pesticide!
