What simpleton thought dog and cat food should contain fecal matter,euthanized animals, and road kill?
The fecal matter would come from the viscera (intestines etc) of dead animals. While this sounds abominable to us, dogs are pack animals and pack animals, in the wild, go for the soft underbelly to kill. To a dog, this is great stuff. As for the euthanised animals and road kill, although many sites are quoting this online, it appears to be urban myth. http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_133193705.html did a check and could not find any companies that did this. Before we go beserko about what our pets eat, remember that they are domesticated versions of wild animals. In the wild, they eat all manner of things, including animals that die of disease or die from accidents (the wild equivalent of road kill). That is the way they live and they like the taste. I would not give my cat road kill, but if she finds a dead bird, she will eat it, and she is 14 years old and going strong. She eats whole mice, down they go in one gulp, fecal matter and all. At least when I feed her canned pet food
