I’m scared because I’ve been reading more and more about rendered products. It is disgusting. It includes all kinds of dead animals, such as roadkill, euthanized pets, cattle, pigs, horses, and supermarket leftovers. It also includes pesticides, styrofoam, chemicals, plastics, flea collars. Disgusting! This is all made into foods for animals. It is fed to cattle, pigs, and chickens, and pets! Chemicals can be ingested by humans when eating meat from these animals, either through their tissues or contaminated through feces. It can also be ingested through milk and maybe even eggs. Tallow, which is derived from this process, is put into make-up, soaps, candles, and other products. We are feeding our pets dangerous, toxic, and plain disgusting food. These products are being fed to the animals that we eat. We are placing roadkill and euthanized animals on our faces when we wear make-up! There is basically NO government regulation on these rendering plants! This is ridiculous!
Here are a few websites on this issue.
