Millions of tons of dead, diseased, dying, disabled and decaying animals, meat waste and fat are processed at Rendering Plants across the U.S.
What would you find in Rendering Plants?
Rendering Plants are places where you can commonly witness many types of animals in varying states of existence such as; diseased, disabled, dying, dead and decaying. You can also hear their cries of agony. These places process animal flesh and grease, from fast food restaurants, into bone meal, yellow grease, tallow and commercial meat where much of their products end up in commercial pet foods.
Rendering Plants sell their products to cat and dog food companies as well as cosmetic companies. Yet they claim that by removing dead and decaying animals from our city streets, they are doing a public service and not doing it for profits.
A peek inside a Rendering Plant
Various animals in all types of conditions lay in piles awaiting their turn to be added to the mixture as swarms of maggots can be seen all over the piles. This is what you would witness inside of a Rendering Plant.
Two men operating Bobcat mini dozer loading the raw materials into a 10-foot-deep stainless steel pit. A giant auger-grinder begins to turn. Popping bones and squeezing flesh are sounds from a nightmare you’ll never forget.
Yellow grease or tallow that’s produced by this process are skimmed off and sent to a hammer mill press where the remainder of moisture is removed and the final product is pulverized into a gritty powder. A shaker then removes excess bone and hair so all you have left are bone meal, yellow grease and meat.
Every day, hundreds of Rendering Plants across the U.S. truck millions of tons of this “food enhancer” to poultry ranches, cattle feed-lots, dairy and hog farms, fish feed plants and pet food manufacturers where it is mixed with other ingredients to feed the billions of animals that meat-eating humans, in turn, will eat.
Do you think your pets are benefiting from these products?
When you see ingredients on your pet food products labeled as; meat meal, meat by-products, poultry by-products, fish meal, fish oil, yellow grease, tallow, beef fat and chicken fat, now you know their origin. They all are produced at Rendering Plants.
There are additional ingredients, other than the aforementioned, added to pet foods and they include; flea collars from dogs, cats and other pets, Dursban from cattle insecticide patches, euthanized drugs used to put down pets and pharmaceutical leaks from antibiotics in livestock.
In spite of the fact that heavy metals from pets’ ID tags, surgical pins and needles, plastic wrap from supermarket rejected meat, chicken and fish, according to Rendering Plant officials, they would incur too much cost to remove ID tags, Styrofoam trays and shrink wrap so that too becomes part of your pet food.
It’s fair to say that without Rendering Plants, our cities would run the risk of becoming filled with diseased and rotting carcasses. Fatal viruses and bacteria would spread through the population but it’s not safe for pet food manufacturers to use products produced at Rendering Plants.
Rendering plants produce products that are toxic to our pets. Cats and dogs are part of the raw material that Rendering Plants use to produce their toxic concoction and the drug Sodium Phenobarbital used to euthanize cats and dogs is not destroyed in the rendering process. Therefore this drug is part our of our pets foods.
The pet food companies have proven that they are not going to produce food that is wholesome, nutritional and good for our beloved pets.
We as pet owners continue to buy their products even though it has been proven that they produce pet foods that are killing our pets. Why as pet owners do we refuse to invest time to discover what really goes into a bag of pet food?
The pet food companies hope that we remain ignorant to the fact that we are buying a product that is sentencing our pets to a premature death. Our failure to learn just what is inside the foods that we feed our pets is what the commercial pet food companies prey on. We spend billions of dollars yearly on food that is sending our pets to a premature grave. If this is you, for the sake of your pet’s life this must stop.
