Could Your Dog Be a Cannibal?

By Larry Buhrandt

Here's something that dog food companies pull on us as consumers and to our dogs, it is shameful and deadly. Prepare to be horrified...Your dog's food contains dead pets, mostly cats and dogs!

The city of Los Angeles alone sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to a pet food plant every month. Not only is this immoral and disgusting... it's deadly. Because the drug used to kill these stray and abandoned animals, Sodium Pentobarbital, is not broken down by the manufacturing process and is still present in active form in your dog's food!

And the dog food companies don't stop with just pets, your dog is also eating euthanized animals from zoos, animal control and putrid, decaying road kill. All of these dead animals and other ghastly materials are processed until the portion left over for dog food production is a brown powder, which consists of 25% fecal matter.

Author and research investigator Ann N. Martin discovers vets have known for years the dangers of feeding dogs euthanized animals but yet it continues to happen. And this [using euthanized animals in dog food] can be problematic because sodium pentobarbital is able to withstand the heat from rendering. For many years, veterinarians out there and animal advocates have known about the potential danger of sodium pentobarbital residue in the commercial pet food, yet nothing has been done about it. They just let it continue to happen!

So, not only is your dog eating dead pets, but also eating the collar, ID tags and plastic bags they are put in. It is not uncommon for thousands of euthanized dogs and cats to be delivered to rendering plants, daily, and thrown into the rendering vat-collars, I.D. tags, and plastic bags-to become part of this material called "meat meal."

If you continue to feed your dog exclusively on commercial pet food, you are dooming them to a painful, traumatic death - an innocent death! So now that you know the truth, can you be held responsible if you do nothing about it? If you think your dog deserves better, it's your responsibility to act now before it becomes fatally ill. The solution is simple once you know how (and cheaper), that's what I'm going to show you.

YOU CAN HELP YOUR PET.
