Mars And Other Pet Food Giants Have Become Fleshmongers

Mars, maker of dairy and gelatin saturated candies, is heavily involved
in marketing animal flesh for pets. Recently the company refused
to let inspectors into its animal research facilities. A new such
facility is in Kansas City, Missouri in the US.

Toxic Pet Food Makers Mars,(UK) Swiss owned Nestle (Purina), Procter and Gamble, Colgate Palmolive

In the world 4 'pet food' companies dominate. They are Mars,
Nestle which bought Purina, Colgate Palmolive and Procter and Gamble.
All market the false idea that dogs and cats need to eat other animals' parts. 36 million cows killed annually in the US
are some of the victims of this grand lie.

One of many recalls was that of Mars animal flesh food for
salmonella.

Neither Mars owned by billionaire brothers (also maker of dairy candy bars) nor Purina owned by Nestle
allowed others into their reserch facilities. In past years a Purina
herd in Sutherland Springs Texas had Mad Cow. The news
was suppressed by the American government's USDA.

Pet food in the US is the 8th largest industry, with 43 billion in sales annually.

The USDA requires no labels on pet food. Nor does it check for any organic pet food.

Some pet owners will try to manipulate pet diet to create smaller amounts of waste,
a practice which can cause cancer.

Pet food can contain animals condemned for human consumption at the slaughterhouse
as well as roadkill. Dog and cat cancers are on the rise and pet life expectancy is
harmed by commercial pet foods. The 1500 vegan physicians and thousands of other
vegan professionals and members of the Physicians' Committee For Responsible
Medicine report that vegan diet is best for dogs and vegetarian diet best
for cats. Taurine has been synthetically available since 1930 for cats.
The heavy protein content of some commercial pet foods causes kidney dysfunction.

Marion Nestle & Malden Nesheim are authors who defend vivisection
and flesh diet for dogs and cats. Nestle whose
book promotes the fleshbased diets of Nestle is a member of the
faculty of vivisecting and primate torturing Cornell.

There is one Canadian company which markets over 81 brands
of cadaver pet food.

In Kansas City, Missouri, the Mars "PetCare" company has
begun a new vivisection facility.

That's a DIFFERENT ethical question

12.05.2010 17:38

Whether it is right or wrong for us as humans to eat meat is one thing.

Whether it is wrong for a cat (carnivore) or dog (highly carnivorous omnivore) to eat meat another question entirely. Are you ACTUALLY willing to argue "a sheep is a better, more moral, etc. animal than a woff"?

Might I humbly suggest that if it troubles you to keep a carnivore as a pet you shouldn't have a carnivore as a pet. But there is something VERY wrong with your trying to make a vegan out of your cat or dog.

or humans

>> But there is something VERY wrong with your trying to make a vegan out of your cat or dog.

Or humans. They are omnivores - its hardwired from our evolution.
Anyway, its personal choice what we put in our bodies for food. You don't get a zebra telling a lion that it can't eat meat. Thats completely unnatural.

Some animals need meat

What exactly am I supposed to feed my snake which I adopted from a reptile rescue centre then? It eats animals, it is a snake, that is what it does. It doesn't live off cabbage, carrots and tofu.

Fact is it eats dead mice and some large insects like crickets. Are you trying to say I should give it tofu?

whats really in the tin

Apparently they can and some do stick dead cats and dogs, dead zoo animals and all sorts of disgusting things into "pet food".

"At the rendering plant, slaughterhouse material, restaurant and supermarket refuse, dead stock, road kill, and euthanized companion animals are dumped into huge containers."

USA anyways, not sure about UK.

The best food to feed a dog i think is fresh food like a human and they dont have to eat meat and can be healthy vegan dogs. I know there is a debate on what cats need that they die without taurine which only comes in meat, well they can have a supplement they dont have to eat meat to get it.
I dont see why a domesticated cat needs to eat the crap in the usual cat food tins, its hardly healthy or more natural than feeding them vegan food out of tins (for the taurine etc) and some fresh veggie food also.

Missing the point?

The question ISN'T whether your dog could survive without meat.

The question is why you think a dog that doesn't eat meat is morally superior to one that does. And let's not think just "eats dead animal" because while most of us are probably city folks whose dogs never get a chance to hunt live prey, that IS their nature. Not just to scavange the flesh of already dead animals but to run down and KILL other animals and eat them. And even city cats often manage to do what is natural for them.

Are you really wanting to say something along the lines of "Nature is immoral"?

As opposed to "Nature is amoral" (the concept of morality simply doesn't apply)

MDN

cruel

Dogs eat meat, period. We choose not to, you cannot ask a dog, or explain the moral arguement to a dog. Thus you would be focing him to eat veg without his/her consent.

Whilst i agree about the state of the pet food industry, which is dire. i do not agree with forcing animals into becoming feeding like we do. As they are not humans, and shold not be treated as such.

I have two dogs, and both are lovely, intelligent, and loyal animals. But they are animals, carnivorous animals.
I try not to feed them mainstream dog food, as it is muck. Some of the better ones from pet shops are ok.
Raw meat is better. Skipped, if you please.

Dogs in the wild don't eat cooked cans of meat.
