Oh, God, it's late. I had a total blast online tonight, talking to Ryan Donovan, Kat, Josh, Justin, and Cori, but finally got offline about 1 am, then I worked on the Sorak Website for...um...two and a half hours. I was kinda in the zone for a while there. Then my eyes started watering. I realized I hadn't blinked lately. Oh, my hands hurt just typing this. My hands hurt, my eyes hurt, and I need to sleep. I'll write more tomorrow. But first, an excerpt from what I am typing for the Sorak Website (thank God I'm getting paid): Another source of meat that isn't mentioned on pet food lables is the bodies of dogs and cats. In 1990 the San Francisco Chronicle reported that euthanized companion animals were found in pet foods. Although the pet food company executives and the National Renderers Association vehemently denied the report, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the FDA confirmed the story. When the label says "meat and bone meal" it can legally include dead pets/animals (from roadkill or vet's offices) that have been ground up in rendering factories. If they were wearing chemical flea collars or had been treated with antibiotics or steroids before they died, those get ground up with them. So does the plastic bag around the body. One factor is that the cooking methods used by pet food manufacturers and rendering plants do not destroy many of the hormones used to fatten livestock, or the medications such as those used to euthanize dogs and cats. Are we all grossed out yet? Yes? Well, then, my work here is done.
