Shelters feeding animals.. animals?

Just because I answered her doesn't mean I believe it, the sole reason I made this post was so people would tell me it wasn't true. I'm sorry if I've made you upset by answering her somehow.

That wasn't directed at you, don't worry about it.

That was pretty rude, IMO

EDIT: At least it came across that way.

When I did online research of dog foods, it was pretty clear that the cheaper, low cost, foods often do include pet renderings. "animal by-product meal" was one of the "euphemisms" which appears on the label. I don't think those end up in the human food chain.

And I never heard of it helping with immunity.

No way a shelter could possibly "do" the processing. Cynic that I am, I suppose it may be a way for some shelters could make money. I mean, when I have my pet euthanized at the vet, it costs a bit even for the anonymous group burial. A high kill shelter is not getting paid for the burials, and is almost alwyas struggling for funds.

Ick, what a topic! But it is somethin we on PT think about it.

I don't believe it at all. It's a scare tactic in poor taste.
