Talk:Dog food/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mention of euthanized pets/animals in petfood (meat/by-product meals specifically) should be removed. The footnoted reference(11) cites (improperly) articles written in 1990 and 1981. Both are seriously outdated and non-applicable to the current situation. I did research on this at University and in the USA, euthanized animals cannot find their way into meals coming out of rendereing facilities. The regulations around disposal of euthanized companion and stock animals are strict. Also the veterinarian that wrote the footnoted reference is extremely biased against commercial petfoods, so while his spirit has the best of intentions regarding the animals, it does fall far left of center when it comes to unbiased, scientific fact.
