Depending on the plant and the brand, a combination of some of these:
a. 4 D animals Those dead dying diseased and debilitated
at slaughterhouse (cancers the size of grapefruits are cut out
and the cadaver passed for human consumption.. those in pet food
are obviously cancer ridden through and through)
b. Fast food grease collected in tankers
and taken to rendering plants
c. Dead dogs and cats from dog pounds..
those lucky
enough not to have been picked up by vivisecting
universities and hospitals, government and private labs
d. rancid oils which have sat on store
shelves for over a year.
e. dead horses arriving bloated as well
as roadkill
f. trash fishes too small or rotten for
human consumption
g. snouts, intestinal linings, etc..
every piece of offal
which can be scraped off a slaughterhouse floor
h. In some cases, animal manure (which
is called wastelage
when mixed with food)
Some is packaged as dog food or cat
food.. some as cow feed.
(Why it is food for a dog and feed for a
cow is an example of
objectification of eaten animals.)
