"Food Pets Die For," an article by Ann N.

The goals of = this organization are to inform the public, advocate for First Amendment = rights, and spark debate on current events involving media monopoly. "Food Pets Die For" is the result of a seven-year = investigation by Martin into the multi-billion dollar pet food industry = in the United States and in Canada. Martin uncovers the unsavory = ingredients used for commercial pet food, including diseased and = contaminated meat, euthanized companion animals, roadkill, moldy grain, = and rancid fat, which are admissible according to government = regulations.=20 "Ann Martin is to the pet food industry what Rachel Carson = was to the petro-chemical-pesticide industry," states Dr. Michael W. = Fox, a veterinarian and animal-activist. "In the same spirit of rigorous = investigation, Martin has revealed what ingredients go into pet food and = into the feed of most farm animals, whose meat and other produce we = consume." Martin's investigation began in 1990 when her two dogs = became sick after eating a popular brand of dog food. Her attempt to = understand the cause of their illness led Martin through a maze of = government and industry stonewalling, denial, and outright lies.=20 The Animal Protection Institute of America has also = investigated the commercial pet food industry, and has reached = conclusions similar to Martin's. Regarding Martin's findings, Executive = Director of API, Alan Berger, states, "Martin carefully and methodically = reveals in great detail the serious problem with the ingredients present = in commercial pet food. Even more amazing is that this is an industry = that is almost completely unregulated.

All material is copyrighted by Ann N. Martin and = NewSage Press. Reprint permission must be obtained from NewSage Press.) CHAPTER TWO=20 Companion Animals in Pet Food Pets in pet food? No, you say? Be assured that this is = happening. Rendered companion animals are just another source of protein = used in both pet food and livestock feed.=20 When I began investigating the ingredients used in = commercial pet food, a veterinarian in the United States advised me that = the use of pets in pet food was routine practice. Rendering is a cheap = viable means of disposal for euthanized pets. Pets are mixed with other = material from slaughterhouse facilities that have been condemned for = human consumption, such as rotten meat from supermarket shelves, = restaurant grease and garbage, ''4-D'' (dead, diseased, dying, and = disabled) animals, road kill, and even zoo animals.=20 John Eckhouse, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, = wrote a two-part expos=E9 on the rendering of companion animals in = California. He described how pet food companies vehemently deny that = this is happening, yet a rendering industry employee confided that "it = was common practice for his company to process dead pets into products = sold to pet food manufacturers."=20 To learn more about the operations of the rendering = industry, I searched the shelves of the library. Perhaps because it is = such a gruesome subject, nothing had been written on this topic In early = 1992, I decided to find out what was happening to the euthanized pets in = the city where I live and in the surrounding area. Over the years, many = of my pets have died, and I always assumed that they were either buried = or cremated. I had never heard of rendering. On the death of a pet, with = regard to the disposal of the body, I was told by the veterinarian, = "Don't worry, we'll take care of it." Now I had to question just how = they were "taking care of it."=20 Contacting a number of veterinary clinics in this area, I = was advised that euthanized pets were being incinerated by a company = that was picking them up from the clinics. After hearing the horror = stories of what was happening in the United States, I was rather = skeptical about Canadian practices. Without much effort I obtained the = name of the company that was picking up the pets, a dead-stock removal = operation. These companies pick up 4-D animals and road kill too large = to be buried roadside. Classified as "collectors," these companies, = along with "receiving plants," "brokers," and "rendering plants" are = licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture in Canada.=20 The collector picks up any dead animals (livestock) that = have died or been killed in the field. The collector is also contracted = by the different municipalities to pick up any large animals along the = roadside. The receiving plant is where the animals are taken to be = skinned and deboned and where salable meat for animal food or pet food, = is removed. A broker buys and sells this material. Rendering plants cook = this material at temperatures around 250 degrees Fahrenheit.=20 The Canadian Ministry keeps records of the dead stock going = through the system, but no records are kept on the number of companion = animals, road kill, or zoo animals processed. I asked the investigator = from the ministry, "How are the dogs and cats disposed of that this = company picks up?" Two months later I received a letter along with a = document from the dead-stock removal company. This document, addressed = to the investigator, was stamped that the information contained in this = specific document was "not to be made known to any other agency or = person without the written permission of the Chief Investigator."=20 It was clear why the dead-stock removal company did not want = this information released. The contents of the document described how = the pets were being disposed of by this facility. Unless it was = "specially requested," and "paid to be cremated by their owners or by = the veterinary clinic," these animals were being disposed of by = rendering. I checked back with the veterinarians, and found that none of = them were paying extra to have animals cremated. The standard fee (from = $20 up, depending on the size of the animal) was for the disposal of the = animal and the fee did not include cremation.=20 The document noted where these animals were being = shipped--to a broker who was located about three hundred miles away. = Again I contacted the government investigator for this particular area = and asked what happened to the animals when they reached this point. The = investigator promptly replied. The facility was just a stopping point = for these animals. The gentleman is a broker. His job is to find a = renderer that pays the highest price for this material. The investigator = was kind enough to advise me what rendering plant the broker was selling = to at that time. The plant was located in another province, Quebec.=20 My next step was to contact the rendering plant in Quebec. = (As I am not versed in French, this became a hardship.) The first = question I asked was: "Are cats and dogs rendered with other material = such as livestock, road kill, etcetera?" The owner's reply was, "Yes." I = went on to ask: "Do pet food companies purchase this rendered material?" = Again his reply was, "Yes." "Could he please advise me what other = sources might use this rendered material?" "Mill Plant," he replied. = Mill Plant is a facility that makes and sells livestock feed.=20 The path of the euthanized pet went from the veterinary = clinic to the receiving plant, then to the broker, and finally to the = rendering plant where it was rendered and sold to feed mills and pet = food companies. Most of these pets travel further in death than they did = in life. I was numb. How had this barbaric practice gone undetected all = these years? These were not the Dark Ages, this was the 1990s. The = feeding of companion animals to our pet is a source of protein yes, but = as this book will explain, a dangerous one. And personally, I found this = aesthetically disgusting. Still not believing what I was hearing and reading, I = contacted the Minister of Agriculture in Quebec. I asked that he confirm = that this practice was actually happening. In broken English, the = minister wrote, "Dead animals are cooked together with viscera, bones = and fats at 115 degrees Celsius (C.) [230 degrees Fahrenheit (F.)] for = twenty minutes." Also, "The fur is not removed from dogs and cats." In = later investigations in both the United States and Canada, I was to = learn that the collars, tags, flea collars, and even the plastic bags in = which the pets are wrapped, are not removed before they are shoved into = the rendering pit. Deceased pets were and are being "recycled" into pet = food, and pet owners have no knowledge as to what is happening.=20 When I advised the veterinarians in my city about what was = happening to the carcasses, most of them immediately ceased using this = dead-stock company and began using the local humane society where the = animals are cremated. (The cost to cremate is the same amount paid to = the dead-stock company, so the vets did not lose any money.) I had to = question that if this was happening in our city, how many other cities, = provinces, and states condoned this means of disposal? How many owners = would be abhorred if they knew?=20 In the United States and Canada, the rendering of companion = animals is not illegal, and literally millions of pets are disposed of = by this method each year. According to the San Francisco Chronicle = article, an employee and ex-employee of a rendering plant in California = stated that their company "rendered somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 = pounds of dogs and cats a day out of a total of 250,000 to 500,000 = pounds of cattle, poultry, butcher shop scraps and other material." = These employees were well aware that the finished product was being used = by the pet food industry.=20 A March 1997 article in The New York Times stated: Renderers in the United States pick up 100 million pounds of = waste material every day--a witch's brew of feet, heads, stomachs, = intestines, hooves, spinal cords, tails, grease, feathers and bones=BA. = An estimated six million to seven million dogs and cats are killed in = animal shelters each year, said Jeff Frace, a spokesman for the American = Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York City. For example, the city of Los Angeles sends 200 tons of = euthanized cats and dogs to West Coast Rendering, in Los Angeles, every = month, according to Chuck Ellis, a spokesman for the city's Sanitation = Department. Pet food companies try not to buy meat and bone meal from = renderers who grind up cats and dogs, said Doug Anderson, president of = Darling International, Inc., a large rendering company in Dallas. "We do = not accept companion animals," he said. "But there are still a number of = small plants that will render anything."=20 In Canada, the rendering plant in Quebec was rendering = eleven tons of dogs and cats per week. This is from one province alone. = When I called the owner of a pet food company located in this area, I = asked if their meat meal contained companion animals. An emphatic "No," = was the reply. "What made up the meat meal?" I asked. "Beef and other = meal but no dogs or cats," the company owner replied. When I asked if he = would disclose the name of the plant where he purchased the rendered = material, he said he could not remember. He would have to look it up and = call me back. "Give me an hour or so," he responded. I never heard from = him again.=20 In the intervening years, I have faxed rendering plants = numerous times both in this province and in Quebec to ask, "Do you = render companion animals?" One plant replied that it prohibits dogs and = cats from being included in its material. None of the other eight plants = have chosen to reply, even though I have faxed each one of them at least = five times. The continued lack of response leads me to believe that they = have something to hide.=20 My next venture was to find a laboratory that could test pet = food in order to ascertain the sources of protein. This did not seem = like an insurmountable task. Approximately ten laboratories were = contacted but none had the resources to test for the sources of protein. = They could determine the level of protein, but not the source. I was = told that if such testing was available, it would be cost-prohibitive to = undertake.=20 When I determined that companion animals were being rendered = and used in these foods, I contacted our provincial minister of = agriculture, the Honorable Elmer Buchanan, and asked if he was aware of = what was happening. He replied that none of the rendering plants were = rendering pets; therefore, none of the pet food companies could be using = this material in their products. The people in his department, the = investigators, were the very people who had provided me with the = documentation showing where the pets from this area were going.=20 If this was the case in Canada, I wondered, Was the United = States government aware of what was happening? So I queried them. The = U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection = Services (FSIS), wrote, "Federal meat and poultry regulations also = provide FSIS the authority to provide special inspection services to pet = food manufacturers that choose to include meat and poultry products that = have been inspected and passed, and so marked, in their product. Such = services [which is available to any pet food company] enable pet food = manufacturers to produce products that are classified and labeled as = 'Packed Under Continuous Inspection of U.S. Department of Agriculture.'" The code states that dog and cat cadavers are excluded as an = ingredient in pet food under this regulation. Labeling, as such, = provides the consumer with specific knowledge that dogs and cats are not = in the food. The other ingredients that are in these foods is = questionable. Nonetheless, it seemed a step in the right direction. I = asked the USDA if it could provide me with a list of the companies that = were using this inspection service. The reply from the USDA was that two = small facilities were licensed for this service but that neither had = subscribed to said service for four years.=20 Many pet food companies advertise that only quality meats = are being used in their products. However, as of 1996 not one of the pet = food companies was using the inspection service offered by the USDA. As = a concerned consumer and pet owner, I would want to know about the = sources of protein used in pet food. As a conscientious consumer, I = would want a food that was inspected by the USDA and guaranteed not to = contain any diseased material or remains of dogs and cats. This response = led me to ask, Why would none of these multinationals use the services = provided by the USDA?=20 The Food and Drug Administration/Center for Veterinary = Medicine (FDA/CVM) responded to my query regarding the disposal of pets: = "In recognizing the need for disposal of a large number of unwanted pets = in this country, CVM has not acted to specifically prohibit the = rendering of pets. However, that is not to say that the practice of = using this material in pet food is condoned by CVM." Not condoned, but = apparently no steps have been taken to eliminate or restrict this = practice. Apparently the FDA believes that the proportion of dogs and = cats rendered is small in comparison to the number of livestock sent to = these facilities. One veterinarian associated with a large U.S. veterinary = clinic stated that other than the aesthetic aspect, nothing was = objectionable about cats and dogs ingesting material that contained = their kind. With the information that has come to light, I am not in = agreement with this doctor. Finding companion pets eating dead cats and = dogs objectionable is more than just aesthetics. Safety is at stake. Sodium pentobarbital, a barbiturate, used to euthanize = companion animals and in some cases, livestock and horses, should not be = used on animals intended for food. The 1993 "Report of the American = Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Panel on Euthanasia," states: In = euthanasia of animals intended for human or animal food, agents that = result in tissue residues cannot be used unless they are approved by the = U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Carbon dioxide is the only chemical = currently used in euthanasia of food animals that does not lead to = tissue residues. Carcasses of animals euthanized by barbituric acid = derivatives or other chemical agents may contain potentially harmful = residues. These carcasses should be disposed of in a manner that will = prevent them from being consumed by human beings or animals.=20 In a study conducted at the University of Minnesota, it was = noted that the barbiturate sodium pentobarbital "survived rendering = without undergoing degradation." The study points to one case in which a = dog exhibited pentobarbital toxicosis after eating the thoracic organs = of a calf. The levels of pentobarbital had not decreased in the kidney = of the calf after boiling for twenty minutes. In contacting two = pharmaceutical companies, one in the United States and one in Canada, = who make this drug, I queried as to the heat lability (the temperature = at which the drug begins to degrade). The first company, in Canada, = faxed me a copy of the "Compendium of Veterinary Products," which = referred to sodium pentobarbital. This information provided no insight = into the degradation of this drug and I was advised that any other = information on this substance was of a ''proprietary nature.'' The firm = in the United States did not reply. To date there is no way to determine = what effect this drug might have on pets ingesting foods contaminated = with sodium pentobarbital. This is what I concluded in regards to sodium = pentobarbital:=20 a.. Pets and some livestock and horses are euthanized with = sodium pentobarbital;=20 b.. These animals are rendered;=20 c.. Rendering does not break down sodium pentobarbital;=20 d.. This rendered material is being used in pet food and = livestock feed.=20 Universities, veterinary colleges, and researchers in the = United States and Canada, to my knowledge, have not undertaken any type = of testing in order to ascertain the level of sodium pentobarbital found = in pet food and livestock feed. Laboratories in the United States told = me that if I could even find a lab willing to undertake testing for this = drug, the cost would run from $300 to $400 per sample. However, even if = the barbiturate was not found in one sample, the next sample--made by = the same company, containing the same ingredients--could very well = contain the drug. Seldom does each batch contain the same material as = another. I contacted a dozen labs in both the United States and Canada = and could not find a laboratory in either country that can undertake = testing to determine the level of sodium pentobarbital in pet food and = livestock feed.=20 The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) = states that there are no restrictions limiting the use of animals for = meat meal, tankage, and digest. AAFCO does not prohibit rendered = companion animals in pet foods or livestock feed--it is a source of = protein.=20 In early 1995, I sent a questionnaire to each state in the = United States. One question I asked was, "Does your state prohibit the = use of rendered companion animals in pet foods?" The states that chose = to reply and their comments regarding the use of pets in pet foods, are = as follows:=20 a.. Alaska: No regulations at all. Anything can be used in = pet foods.=20 b.. Alabama: No stipulation as to the sources of protein = which can be used in meat meals, tankage and digests.=20 c.. Arizona: Did not answer this question.=20 d.. Florida: No regulations on pet food.=20 e.. Georgia: Do not prohibit the use of companion animals. = f.. Idaho: Do not test as to the sources of protein.=20 g.. Illinois: Do not specifically prohibit the use of = pets. Ingredients have to be cleared with the FDA before being accepted by this state.=20 h.. Indiana: Do not prohibit the use of companion animals = in pet foods or livestock feed.=20 i.. Kentucky: Although they do not test for the sources of = proteins which are=20 used, they state, "Official definitions for rendered = products establishes which species of animal is acceptable to = render.'' They neglect to mention which species of animal is = acceptable.=20 j.. Massachusetts: Did not answer this question.=20 k.. Missouri: Do not prohibit dogs and cats from being = used in pet foods.=20 l.. New Jersey: Do not prohibit companion animals in pet = foods.=20 m.. New York: Does not prohibit the use of rendered = companion animals.=20 n.. North Carolina: They replied that the use of companion = animals is not acceptable=20 in their state but apparently do not prohibit the use of = such animals.=20 o.. Ohio: Did not to respond to this question.=20 p.. Oklahoma: Not aware of any state dog food processors = that used companion=20 animals in their food.=20 q.. Oregon: No testing as to sources of protein.=20 r.. Rhode Island: Did not answer this question.=20 s.. South Carolina: Advised that I contact another agency = regarding this question.=20 No reply from this agency.=20 t.. Wyoming: Do not prohibit the use of rendered companion = animals in pet=20 food.=20 States That Did Not Reply: Arkansas Maryland Pennsylvania=20 California Michigan South Dakota=20 Colorado Minnesota Tennessee=20 Connecticut Mississippi Texas=20 Delaware Montana Utah=20 Hawaii Nebraska Vermont=20 Iowa Nevada Virginia=20 Kansas New Hampshire Washington=20 Louisiana New Mexico West Virginia=20 Maine North Dakota Wisconsin=20 Among the states that did not reply is California, which I = contacted twice. California was of interest because it had enacted the = "Pure Pet Food Act" in 1969. Unaware of the terminology of this act, I = faxed the Department of Health Services in February of 1996. I asked, = "Did this act ban the use of companion animals in pet foods manufactured = in California?" The reply I received was that the code "dealing with = Processed Pet Food, defines, 'Meat' as clean wholesome flesh derived = from slaughtered mammals. Therefore, in answer to your inquiry about the = inclusion of euthanized companion animals, such animals are not allowed = in pet food manufactured in California in that they do not die by = slaughter."=20 The mistake I had made was that I had not been specific in = asking about meat meal, digests, and tankage and if this material = contained pets. (I often chide my friends that when they require = information, especially from government agencies, to be specific.) = Another letter was sent to the Department of Health Services asking if = it could provide the composition of meats, etcetera. My question was, = "Could you please advise the composition of meat meal used in commercial = pet foods in California?'' I received no reply. Again I contacted them = and as of press time I had not received a reply.=20 As I had not been in contact with the Ministry of = Agriculture in Quebec for more than three years, I wanted to ascertain = if its practice of rendering pets continued. The 1996 communiqu=E9 from = Michel Houle, Inspector of Agriculture and Fisheries, stated, "In = Quebec, the recovery of companion animals for the rendering of unfit = meat is permitted.'' Dogs and cats are still being supplied to these = facilities. In September 1995, an article appeared in the Baltimore City = Paper by journalist Van Smith entitled, "Meltdown." It described what = happens at a rendering plant. This article, replete with pictures, = showed barrels of dead dogs and cats about to be rendered. Smith = described how carcasses from zoo animals and "thousands of dead dogs, = cats, raccoons, possums, deer, foxes, snakes, and the rest that local = animal shelters and road kill patrols must dispose of each month" are = rendered. "In a gruesomely ironic twist, most inedible dead animal = parts, including dead pets, end up in feed used to fatten future = generations of their kind."=20 Once you sign the authorization paper for the euthanization = and subsequent disposal of your pet, you basically have no say as to how = the animal is disposed of. In some communities, pets can be buried on = private property in accordance with city regulations. You can also pay a = specified fee and have a private cremation with the ashes returned to = you, but even this is questionable. A friend recently had a German = Shepherd cremated. Her friend had a much smaller dog cremated at the = same time. Upon the return of the ashes the friends found that the small = dog resulted in more ashes returned than that of the shepherd. Most of the fifty U.S. and Canadian veterinarians with whom = I have spoken claim to have no knowledge of rendering as a means of = disposal. Veterinarians also claim to have no knowledge of the fact that = these rendered companion animals along with their collars, tags, and = flea collars, are being processed and finding their way into commercial = pet food. Ironically, some veterinarians often recommend these same = commercial pet foods, and, in some cases, even sell them.=20 Government and voluntary organizations do not have a set = program to test commercial pet foods. We mistakenly rely on the pet food = industry, an industry that assures us that companion animals are not = included in pet food ingredient lists. Questions I wanted answered by = the pet food industry included: Do pet food companies conduct any = testing to see if this is the case? Are there any DNA markers for dogs = and cats? Do pet food companies have the methodology to detect sodium = pentobarbital? From the five Canadian and the eight U.S. pet food = companies I spoke to, no testing is conducted that would indicate the = composition of the material purchased from rendering plants. No DNA = markers are yet available and none has the means to detect barbiturates. It is apparent that federal and provincial governments in = Canada are aware of these practices. The state and federal agencies in = the United States are also cognizant of this lack of regulation--and it = continues. Their reasoning for this means of disposal is that the = landfill sites cannot accept any more waste, so we must recycle. = Incineration is not environmentally friendly. But then what about = rendering plants? In this day and age most older incinerators are being = brought up to code. New incinerators are clean and nonpolluting and meet = or exceed the standards that are set by the Ministry of the Environment. = Construction of incinerators can be a costly venture, but = they are clearly a more viable means for the disposal of pets. Perhaps = the industries that purport to care about the health and welfare of our = pets, the industries that stand to profit the most from our pets--the = pet food companies--could contribute a percentage of their advertising = dollars to erect such facilities.

Praise for Food = Pets Die=20 For

Ann Martin is to the pet food industry what = Rachel=20 Carson was to the petro-chemical- pesticide industry. In the = same=20 spirit of rigorous investigation, Martin has revealed what=20 ingredients go into pet food and in the feed of most farm = animals=20 whose meat and other produce we consume.

--Dr. Michael Fox, author, Eating with Conscience: The Bioethics of=20 Food

In Food Pets Die For, Ann = Martin=20 carefully and methodically reveals in great detail the = serious=20 problem with the ingredients present in commercial pet food. = Even=20 more amazing, is that this is an industry that is almost = completely=20 unregulated. Martin is to be congratulated and thanks for = her=20 tenacity in taking on an industry with $20 billion in = worldwide=20 revenues.

--Alan H. Berger, Executive Director, Animal = Protection Institute of America

Ann Martin's book rips the curtain off one = of the most=20 suppressed news stories of the decade. It took courage and = amazing=20 persistence to write this astounding book. It should be = widely read:=20 In the process, it will transform the pet food industry.

--Gar Smith, Editor, Earth Island = Journal

Ann Martin's findings are an eye-opener, but = she goes=20 further by offering alternative dietary advice as well as = pages of=20 nutritious recipes and elpful hints for healthy pets.

--Nexus Magazine

Ann Martin's book provides information = rarely seen=20 anywhere else It is a shocking, sometimes disgusting look = into the=20 pet food industry, and should open the reader's eyes = regarding the=20 sources of the "nutrition" most Americans trust as their = pets' sole=20 food source."

--Alan L. Miller, N.D., Alternative medicine = Review

No metaphor was intended in the title of Ann = N.=20 Martin's book on the true nature of the pet food indsutry. = The=20 author means what she says, and the shocking facts she = uncovers are=20 unrelenting. Having conducted her own investigation into the = mult-billion industry, Martin reveals what goes into the = food we=20 feed our pets---and it's not those juicy fillets we see on=20 television commercials.

--Susan Dewan, The Amicus Journal

Even if her findings are questioned, = Food Pets=20 Die For paints a picture of a thin-skinned industry = that is=20 not used to even being lightly questioned. Pinned down with=20 seemingly simple queries, Martin's targets are depicited as = if they=20 were guarding national defense secrets. It's hardly the=20 touchy-feely, we-care-about-your-pets picture that food = companies=20 present in television ads.

--The Healthy Dog

Ann N. Martin has spent the past ten years investigating = what goes=20 into pet food, and who regulates this multi-billion dollar = industry.=20 She writes, "I am not a veterinarian, I am not an expert. = But I am a=20 concerned consumer, an individual who wants answers to my=20 questions." This book is the result of questioning, = researching, and=20 writing. As a result of Ms. Martin's research and writing on = the=20 dangers of commercial pet food, her work received a = journalistic=20 honor from Sonoma State University's Project Censored = as a=20 news story of social significance that has = beenunder-reported or=20 self-cesnored by the United States' mainstream media. =

News That Didn't Make the = News

Project = Censored, sponsored by Sonoma State University, = California,=20 chose 25 news stories of social significance that have been=20 overlooked, under-reported or self-censored by the United = States'=20 major mainstream media. "Food Pets Die For," an article by = Ann N.=20 Martin, based on her book, Food Pets Die For: Shocking = Facts=20 About Pet Food, (NewSage Press 1997) was chosen = by=20 Project Censored for this journalistic honor in = 1998.

Every year Project Censored reviews more than = 600=20 submissions from journalists, scholars, librarians, and = concerned=20 citizens worldwide. The goals of this organization are to = inform the=20 public, advocate for First Amendment rights, and spark = debate on=20 current events involving media monopoly.

"Food Pets Die For" is the result = of a=20 seven-year investigation by Martin into the multi-billion = dollar pet=20 food industry in the United States and in Canada. Martin = uncovers=20 the unsavory ingredients used for commercial pet food, = including=20 diseased and contaminated meat, euthanized companion = animals,=20 roadkill, moldy grain, and rancid fat, which are admissible=20 according to government regulations.

"Ann Martin is to the pet food = industry what=20 Rachel Carson was to the petro-chemical-pesticide industry," = states=20 Dr. Michael W. Fox, a veterinarian and animal-activist. "In = the same=20 spirit of rigorous investigation, Martin has revealed what=20 ingredients go into pet food and into the feed of most farm = animals,=20 whose meat and other produce we consume."

Martin's investigation began in 1990 = when her two=20 dogs became sick after eating a popular brand of dog food. = Her=20 attempt to understand the cause of their illness led Martin = through=20 a maze of government and industry stonewalling, denial, and = outright=20 lies.

The Animal Protection Institute of = America has=20 also investigated the commercial pet food industry, and has = reached=20 conclusions similar to Martin's.

CHAPTER TWO

Companion Animals in Pet Food

Pets in pet food? No, you say? Be assured that this is = happening.=20 Rendered companion animals are just another source of = protein used=20 in both pet food and livestock feed.
When I began = investigating=20 the ingredients used in commercial pet food, a veterinarian = in the=20 United States advised me that the use of pets in pet food = was=20 routine practice. Rendering is a cheap viable means of = disposal for=20 euthanized pets. Pets are mixed with other material from=20 slaughterhouse facilities that have been condemned for human = consumption, such as rotten meat from supermarket shelves,=20 restaurant grease and garbage, ''4-D'' (dead, diseased, = dying, and=20 disabled) animals, road kill, and even zoo animals.

John Eckhouse, a reporter for the San Francisco = Chronicle, wrote=20 a two-part expos=E9 on the rendering of companion animals in = California. He described how pet food companies vehemently = deny that=20 this is happening, yet a rendering industry employee = confided that=20 "it was common practice for his company to process dead pets = into=20 products sold to pet food manufacturers."

To learn more about the operations of the rendering = industry, I=20 searched the shelves of the library. Perhaps because it is = such a=20 gruesome subject, nothing had been written on this topic In = early=20 1992, I decided to find out what was happening to the = euthanized=20 pets in the city where I live and in the surrounding area. = Over the=20 years, many of my pets have died, and I always assumed that = they=20 were either buried or cremated. I had never heard of = rendering. On=20 the death of a pet, with regard to the disposal of the body, = I was=20 told by the veterinarian, "Don't worry, we'll take care of = it." Now=20 I had to question just how they were "taking care of it." =

Contacting a number of veterinary clinics in this area, I = was=20 advised that euthanized pets were being incinerated by a = company=20 that was picking them up from the clinics. After hearing the = horror=20 stories of what was happening in the United States, I was = rather=20 skeptical about Canadian practices. Without much effort I = obtained=20 the name of the company that was picking up the pets, a = dead-stock=20 removal operation. These companies pick up 4-D animals and = road kill=20 too large to be buried roadside. Classified as "collectors," = these=20 companies, along with "receiving plants," "brokers," and = "rendering=20 plants" are licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture in = Canada.

The collector picks up any dead animals (livestock) that = have=20 died or been killed in the field. The collector is also = contracted=20 by the different municipalities to pick up any large animals = along=20 the roadside. The receiving plant is where the animals are = taken to=20 be skinned and deboned and where salable meat for animal = food or pet=20 food, is removed. A broker buys and sells this material. = Rendering=20 plants cook this material at temperatures around 250 degrees = Fahrenheit.

The Canadian Ministry keeps records of the dead stock = going=20 through the system, but no records are kept on the number of = companion animals, road kill, or zoo animals processed. I = asked the=20 investigator from the ministry, "How are the dogs and cats = disposed=20 of that this company picks up?" Two months later I received = a letter=20 along with a document from the dead-stock removal company. = This=20 document, addressed to the investigator, was stamped that = the=20 information contained in this specific document was "not to = be made=20 known to any other agency or person without the written = permission=20 of the Chief Investigator."

It was clear why the dead-stock removal company did not = want this=20 information released. The contents of the document described = how the=20 pets were being disposed of by this facility. Unless it was=20 "specially requested," and "paid to be cremated by their = owners or=20 by the veterinary clinic," these animals were being disposed = of by=20 rendering. I checked back with the veterinarians, and found = that=20 none of them were paying extra to have animals cremated. The = standard fee (from $20 up, depending on the size of the = animal) was=20 for the disposal of the animal and the fee did not include=20 cremation.

The document noted where these animals were being = shipped--to a=20 broker who was located about three hundred miles away. Again = I=20 contacted the government investigator for this particular = area and=20 asked what happened to the animals when they reached this = point. The=20 investigator promptly replied. The facility was just a = stopping=20 point for these animals. The gentleman is a broker. His job = is to=20 find a renderer that pays the highest price for this = material. The=20 investigator was kind enough to advise me what rendering = plant the=20 broker was selling to at that time. The plant was located in = another=20 province, Quebec.

My next step was to contact the rendering plant in = Quebec. (As I=20 am not versed in French, this became a hardship.) The first = question=20 I asked was: "Are cats and dogs rendered with other material = such as=20 livestock, road kill, etcetera?" The owner's reply was, = "Yes." I=20 went on to ask: "Do pet food companies purchase this = rendered=20 material?" Again his reply was, "Yes." "Could he please = advise me=20 what other sources might use this rendered material?" "Mill = Plant,"=20 he replied. Mill Plant is a facility that makes and sells = livestock=20 feed.

The path of the euthanized pet went from the veterinary = clinic to=20 the receiving plant, then to the broker, and finally to the=20 rendering plant where it was rendered and sold to feed mills = and pet=20 food companies. Most of these pets travel further in death = than they=20 did in life. I was numb. How had this barbaric practice gone = undetected all these years? These were not the Dark Ages, = this was=20 the 1990s. The feeding of companion animals to our pet is a = source=20 of protein yes, but as this book will explain, a dangerous = one. And=20 personally, I found this aesthetically disgusting.

Still not believing what I was hearing and reading, I = contacted=20 the Minister of Agriculture in Quebec. I asked that he = confirm that=20 this practice was actually happening. In broken English, the = minister wrote, "Dead animals are cooked together with = viscera,=20 bones and fats at 115 degrees Celsius (C.) [230 degrees = Fahrenheit=20 (F.)] for twenty minutes." Also, "The fur is not removed = from dogs=20 and cats." In later investigations in both the United States = and=20 Canada, I was to learn that the collars, tags, flea collars, = and=20 even the plastic bags in which the pets are wrapped, are not = removed=20 before they are shoved into the rendering pit. Deceased pets = were=20 and are being "recycled" into pet food, and pet owners have = no=20 knowledge as to what is happening.

When I advised the veterinarians in my city about what = was=20 happening to the carcasses, most of them immediately ceased = using=20 this dead-stock company and began using the local humane = society=20 where the animals are cremated. (The cost to cremate is the = same=20 amount paid to the dead-stock company, so the vets did not = lose any=20 money.) I had to question that if this was happening in our = city,=20 how many other cities, provinces, and states condoned this = means of=20 disposal? How many owners would be abhorred if they knew? =

In the United States and Canada, the rendering of = companion=20 animals is not illegal, and literally millions of pets are = disposed=20 of by this method each year. According to the San Francisco=20 Chronicle article, an employee and ex-employee of a = rendering plant=20 in California stated that their company "rendered somewhere = between=20 10,000 and 30,000 pounds of dogs and cats a day out of a = total of=20 250,000 to 500,000 pounds of cattle, poultry, butcher shop = scraps=20 and other material." These employees were well aware that = the=20 finished product was being used by the pet food industry. =

A March 1997 article in The New York Times=20 stated:
Renderers in the United States pick up 100 = million=20 pounds of waste material every day--a witch's brew of feet, = heads,=20 stomachs, intestines, hooves, spinal cords, tails, grease, = feathers=20 and bones=BA. An estimated six million to seven million dogs = and cats=20 are killed in animal shelters each year, said Jeff Frace, a=20 spokesman for the American Society for the Prevention of = Cruelty to=20 Animals in New York City.

For example, the city of Los Angeles sends 200 tons of = euthanized=20 cats and dogs to West Coast Rendering, in Los Angeles, every = month,=20 according to Chuck Ellis, a spokesman for the city's = Sanitation=20 Department.

Pet food companies try not to buy meat and bone meal from = renderers who grind up cats and dogs, said Doug Anderson, = president=20 of Darling International, Inc., a large rendering company in = Dallas.=20 "We do not accept companion animals," he said. "But there = are still=20 a number of small plants that will render anything."

In Canada, the rendering plant in Quebec was rendering = eleven=20 tons of dogs and cats per week. This is from one province = alone.=20 When I called the owner of a pet food company located in = this area,=20 I asked if their meat meal contained companion animals. An = emphatic=20 "No," was the reply. "What made up the meat meal?" I asked. = "Beef=20 and other meal but no dogs or cats," the company owner = replied. When=20 I asked if he would disclose the name of the plant where he=20 purchased the rendered material, he said he could not = remember. He=20 would have to look it up and call me back. "Give me an hour = or so,"=20 he responded. I never heard from him again.

In the intervening years, I have faxed rendering plants = numerous=20 times both in this province and in Quebec to ask, "Do you = render=20 companion animals?" One plant replied that it prohibits dogs = and=20 cats from being included in its material. None of the other = eight=20 plants have chosen to reply, even though I have faxed each = one of=20 them at least five times. The continued lack of response = leads me to=20 believe that they have something to hide.
My next = venture was to=20 find a laboratory that could test pet food in order to = ascertain the=20 sources of protein. This did not seem like an insurmountable = task.=20 Approximately ten laboratories were contacted but none had = the=20 resources to test for the sources of protein. They could = determine=20 the level of protein, but not the source. I was told that if = such=20 testing was available, it would be cost-prohibitive to = undertake.=20

When I determined that companion animals were being = rendered and=20 used in these foods, I contacted our provincial minister of=20 agriculture, the Honorable Elmer Buchanan, and asked if he = was aware=20 of what was happening. He replied that none of the rendering = plants=20 were rendering pets; therefore, none of the pet food = companies could=20 be using this material in their products. The people in his=20 department, the investigators, were the very people who had = provided=20 me with the documentation showing where the pets from this = area were=20 going.

If this was the case in Canada, I wondered, Was the = United States=20 government aware of what was happening? So I queried them. = The U.S.=20 Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection = Services (FSIS), wrote, "Federal meat and poultry = regulations also=20 provide FSIS the authority to provide special inspection = services to=20 pet food manufacturers that choose to include meat and = poultry=20 products that have been inspected and passed, and so marked, = in=20 their product. Such services [which is available to any pet = food=20 company] enable pet food manufacturers to produce products = that are=20 classified and labeled as 'Packed Under Continuous = Inspection of=20 U.S. Department of Agriculture.'"
The code states that = dog and=20 cat cadavers are excluded as an ingredient in pet food under = this=20 regulation. Labeling, as such, provides the consumer with = specific=20 knowledge that dogs and cats are not in the food. The other=20 ingredients that are in these foods is questionable. = Nonetheless, it=20 seemed a step in the right direction. I asked the USDA if it = could=20 provide me with a list of the companies that were using this = inspection service. The reply from the USDA was that two = small=20 facilities were licensed for this service but that neither = had=20 subscribed to said service for four years.

Many pet food companies advertise that only quality meats = are=20 being used in their products. However, as of 1996 not one of = the pet=20 food companies was using the inspection service offered by = the USDA.=20 As a concerned consumer and pet owner, I would want to know = about=20 the sources of protein used in pet food. As a conscientious=20 consumer, I would want a food that was inspected by the USDA = and=20 guaranteed not to contain any diseased material or remains = of dogs=20 and cats. This response led me to ask, Why would none of = these=20 multinationals use the services provided by the USDA? =
The Food=20 and Drug Administration/Center for Veterinary Medicine = (FDA/CVM)=20 responded to my query regarding the disposal of pets: "In=20 recognizing the need for disposal of a large number of = unwanted pets=20 in this country, CVM has not acted to specifically prohibit = the=20 rendering of pets. However, that is not to say that the = practice of=20 using this material in pet food is condoned by CVM." Not = condoned,=20 but apparently no steps have been taken to eliminate or = restrict=20 this practice. Apparently the FDA believes that the = proportion of=20 dogs and cats rendered is small in comparison to the number = of=20 livestock sent to these facilities.

One veterinarian associated with a large U.S. veterinary = clinic=20 stated that other than the aesthetic aspect, nothing was=20 objectionable about cats and dogs ingesting material that = contained=20 their kind. With the information that has come to light, I = am not in=20 agreement with this doctor. Finding companion pets eating = dead cats=20 and dogs objectionable is more than just aesthetics. Safety = is at=20 stake.

Sodium pentobarbital, a barbiturate, used to euthanize = companion=20 animals and in some cases, livestock and horses, should not = be used=20 on animals intended for food. The 1993 "Report of the = American=20 Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Panel on Euthanasia," = states:=20 In euthanasia of animals intended for human or animal food, = agents=20 that result in tissue residues cannot be used unless they = are=20 approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Carbon = dioxide is=20 the only chemical currently used in euthanasia of food = animals that=20 does not lead to tissue residues. Carcasses of animals = euthanized by=20 barbituric acid derivatives or other chemical agents may = contain=20 potentially harmful residues. These carcasses should be = disposed of=20 in a manner that will prevent them from being consumed by = human=20 beings or animals.

In a study conducted at the University of Minnesota, it = was noted=20 that the barbiturate sodium pentobarbital "survived = rendering=20 without undergoing degradation." The study points to one = case in=20 which a dog exhibited pentobarbital toxicosis after eating = the=20 thoracic organs of a calf. The levels of pentobarbital had = not=20 decreased in the kidney of the calf after boiling for twenty = minutes. In contacting two pharmaceutical companies, one in = the=20 United States and one in Canada, who make this drug, I = queried as to=20 the heat lability (the temperature at which the drug begins = to=20 degrade). The first company, in Canada, faxed me a copy of = the=20 "Compendium of Veterinary Products," which referred to = sodium=20 pentobarbital. This information provided no insight into the = degradation of this drug and I was advised that any other=20 information on this substance was of a ''proprietary = nature.'' The=20 firm in the United States did not reply. To date there is no = way to=20 determine what effect this drug might have on pets ingesting = foods=20 contaminated with sodium pentobarbital. This is what I = concluded in=20 regards to sodium pentobarbital:

  • Pets and some livestock and horses are euthanized with = sodium=20 pentobarbital;=20
  • These animals are rendered;=20
  • Rendering does not break down sodium pentobarbital;=20
  • This rendered material is being used in pet food and = livestock=20 feed.

Universities, veterinary colleges, and researchers in the = United=20 States and Canada, to my knowledge, have not undertaken any = type of=20 testing in order to ascertain the level of sodium = pentobarbital=20 found in pet food and livestock feed. Laboratories in the = United=20 States told me that if I could even find a lab willing to = undertake=20 testing for this drug, the cost would run from $300 to $400 = per=20 sample. However, even if the barbiturate was not found in = one=20 sample, the next sample--made by the same company, = containing the=20 same ingredients--could very well contain the drug. Seldom = does each=20 batch contain the same material as another. I contacted a = dozen labs=20 in both the United States and Canada and could not find a = laboratory=20 in either country that can undertake testing to determine = the level=20 of sodium pentobarbital in pet food and livestock feed.

The Association of American Feed Control Officials = (AAFCO) states=20 that there are no restrictions limiting the use of animals = for meat=20 meal, tankage, and digest. AAFCO does not prohibit rendered=20 companion animals in pet foods or livestock feed--it is a = source of=20 protein.

In early 1995, I sent a questionnaire to each state in = the United=20 States. One question I asked was, "Does your state prohibit = the use=20 of rendered companion animals in pet foods?" The states that = chose=20 to reply and their comments regarding the use of pets in pet = foods,=20 are as follows:

  • Alaska: No regulations at all. Anything can be = used in=20 pet foods.=20
  • Alabama: No stipulation as to the sources of = protein=20 which can be used in meat meals, tankage and digests.=20
  • Arizona: Did not answer this question.=20
  • Florida: No regulations on pet food.=20
  • Georgia: Do not prohibit the use of companion = animals.=20
  • Idaho: Do not test as to the sources of = protein.=20
  • Illinois: Do not specifically prohibit the use = of pets.=20 Ingredients have to be
    cleared with the FDA before = being=20 accepted by this state.=20
  • Indiana: Do not prohibit the use of companion = animals=20 in pet foods or
    livestock feed.=20
  • Kentucky: Although they do not test for the = sources of=20 proteins which are
    used, they state, "Official = definitions for=20 rendered products
    establishes which species of animal = is=20 acceptable to render.''
    They neglect to mention which = species=20 of animal is acceptable.=20
  • Massachusetts: Did not answer this question.=20
  • Missouri: Do not prohibit dogs and cats from = being used=20 in pet foods.=20
  • New Jersey: Do not prohibit companion animals = in pet=20 foods.=20
  • New York: Does not prohibit the use of rendered = companion animals.=20
  • North Carolina: They replied that the use of = companion=20 animals is not acceptable
    in their state but = apparently do not=20 prohibit the use of such
    animals.=20
  • Ohio: Did not to respond to this question.=20
  • Oklahoma: Not aware of any state dog food = processors=20 that used companion
    animals in their food.=20
  • Oregon: No testing as to sources of protein.=20
  • Rhode Island: Did not answer this question.=20
  • South Carolina: Advised that I contact another = agency=20 regarding this question.
    No reply from this agency.=20
  • Wyoming: Do not prohibit the use of rendered = companion=20 animals in pet
    food.

States That Did Not Reply:

Arkansas Maryland Pennsylvania
California Michigan South Dakota
Colorado Minnesota Tennessee
Connecticut Mississippi Texas
Delaware Montana Utah
Hawaii Nebraska Vermont
Iowa Nevada Virginia
Kansas New Hampshire Washington
Louisiana New Mexico West Virginia
Maine North Dakota Wisconsin

Among the states that did not reply is California, which = I=20 contacted twice. California was of interest because it had = enacted=20 the "Pure Pet Food Act" in 1969. Unaware of the terminology = of this=20 act, I faxed the Department of Health Services in February = of 1996.=20 I asked, "Did this act ban the use of companion animals in = pet foods=20 manufactured in California?" The reply I received was that = the code=20 "dealing with Processed Pet Food, defines, 'Meat' as clean = wholesome=20 flesh derived from slaughtered mammals. Therefore, in answer = to your=20 inquiry about the inclusion of euthanized companion animals, = such=20 animals are not allowed in pet food manufactured in = California in=20 that they do not die by slaughter."

The mistake I had made was that I had not been specific = in asking=20 about meat meal, digests, and tankage and if this material = contained=20 pets. (I often chide my friends that when they require = information,=20 especially from government agencies, to be specific.) = Another letter=20 was sent to the Department of Health Services asking if it = could=20 provide the composition of meats, etcetera. My question was, = "Could=20 you please advise the composition of meat meal used in = commercial=20 pet foods in California?'' I received no reply. Again I = contacted=20 them and as of press time I had not received a reply.

As I had not been in contact with the Ministry of = Agriculture in=20 Quebec for more than three years, I wanted to ascertain if = its=20 practice of rendering pets continued. The 1996 communiqu=E9 = from=20 Michel Houle, Inspector of Agriculture and Fisheries, = stated, "In=20 Quebec, the recovery of companion animals for the rendering = of unfit=20 meat is permitted.'' Dogs and cats are still being supplied = to these=20 facilities.

In September 1995, an article appeared in the Baltimore = City=20 Paper by journalist Van Smith entitled, "Meltdown." It = described=20 what happens at a rendering plant. This article, replete = with=20 pictures, showed barrels of dead dogs and cats about to be = rendered.=20 Smith described how carcasses from zoo animals and = "thousands of=20 dead dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, deer, foxes, snakes, and = the=20 rest that local animal shelters and road kill patrols must = dispose=20 of each month" are rendered. "In a gruesomely ironic twist, = most=20 inedible dead animal parts, including dead pets, end up in = feed used=20 to fatten future generations of their kind."

Once you sign the authorization paper for the = euthanization and=20 subsequent disposal of your pet, you basically have no say = as to how=20 the animal is disposed of. In some communities, pets can be = buried=20 on private property in accordance with city regulations. You = can=20 also pay a specified fee and have a private cremation with = the ashes=20 returned to you, but even this is questionable. A friend = recently=20 had a German Shepherd cremated. Her friend had a much = smaller dog=20 cremated at the same time. Upon the return of the ashes the = friends=20 found that the small dog resulted in more ashes returned = than that=20 of the shepherd.

Most of the fifty U.S. and Canadian veterinarians with = whom I=20 have spoken claim to have no knowledge of rendering as a = means of=20 disposal. Veterinarians also claim to have no knowledge of = the fact=20 that these rendered companion animals along with their = collars,=20 tags, and flea collars, are being processed and finding = their way=20 into commercial pet food. Ironically, some veterinarians = often=20 recommend these same commercial pet foods, and, in some = cases, even=20 sell them.

Government and voluntary organizations do not have a set = program=20 to test commercial pet foods. We mistakenly rely on the pet = food=20 industry, an industry that assures us that companion animals = are not=20 included in pet food ingredient lists. Questions I wanted = answered=20 by the pet food industry included: Do pet food companies = conduct any=20 testing to see if this is the case? Are there any DNA = markers for=20 dogs and cats? Do pet food companies have the methodology to = detect=20 sodium pentobarbital? From the five Canadian and the eight = U.S. pet=20 food companies I spoke to, no testing is conducted that = would=20 indicate the composition of the material purchased from = rendering=20 plants. No DNA markers are yet available and none has the = means to=20 detect barbiturates.

It is apparent that federal and provincial governments in = Canada=20 are aware of these practices. The state and federal agencies = in the=20 United States are also cognizant of this lack of = regulation--and it=20 continues. Their reasoning for this means of disposal is = that the=20 landfill sites cannot accept any more waste, so we must = recycle.=20 Incineration is not environmentally friendly. But then what = about=20 rendering plants? In this day and age most older = incinerators are=20 being brought up to code. New incinerators are clean and=20 nonpolluting and meet or exceed the standards that are set = by the=20 Ministry of the Environment.

Construction of incinerators can be a costly venture, but = they=20 are clearly a more viable means for the disposal of pets. = Perhaps=20 the industries that purport to care about the health and = welfare of=20 our pets, the industries that stand to profit the most from = our=20 pets--the pet food companies--could contribute a percentage = of their=20 advertising dollars to erect such facilities.

CHAPTER SEVEN

Pet Food Recipes

Over the years, I have acquired a number of recipes for = both dogs=20 and cats, some of which you might enjoy preparing for your = pet. Pets=20 are like people, they enjoy variety. Keep in mind that these = recipes=20 are not based on scientific studies, but rather on = information and=20 common sense that I have accumulated during the past seven=20 years.

Most of these recipes are made in bulk or for one or two = dogs.=20 Use as little or as much as your dog requires, depending on = size.=20 Beef, chicken, turkey, and lamb can be cut into chunks or = you can=20 purchase the ground meat. Cook the meat. Fish and eggs are = also=20 cooked or steamed. Once a week, liver, kidney or tripe, all = cooked,=20 can be served.
Any grains or pasta must be cooked for = proper=20 digestion. Vegetables and fruit can be served raw although = some pets=20 prefer them steamed. Chop finely or run them through a = mincer.
