Merle,
quoting:
"why waste all that good quality protein?"
There are sentient beings underground who feast on that protein, not to worry.
It is not wasted. The biosphere is one big recycling unit.
A hush-hush scandal in the pet-food industry concerns "rendering", and the use
of dead pets in pet food.
No, this is not "extraordinary rendition", but it is extraordinary, and gets
some people to rend their clothes.
I think pets that have been euthanized by, e.g., rescue services and
veterinarians, are sometimes sold to "renderers" who use high heat to render
the deceased pets' flesh anaerobically _in vacuo_ to a sterile product which is
then sold to pet food producers. I think the product can be found on
subsequent pet food product labels as "rendered animal meal". Not ALL of it is
from pets, but the claim is that some is. Some people object to their dogs and
cats eating dogs and cats.
