[I was handed this flyer by a black man in front of Safeway five years ago. Is it true?] [...] Something else people should be aware of is that much of the dog and cat food made in the U.S. contains meat and bone meal made from the bodies of cats and dogs killed at animal shelters. The poison (sodium pentobarbitol) used to kill the animals is still in the product when you feed it to your pet. Paying high prices is no guarantee that the pet food you buy is free of the poison. In fact, most pet food manufacturers do not know the sources of their meat byproducts. And it is legal to use cats and dogs. It would be more economical and healthier for your pet, to obtain fresh meat scraps from butcher shops, restaurants and super-market meat departments. The scraps usually cost very little, or are given away for free. Be sure to obtain plenty of bones with the scraps for nutritional balance, and let the place know that the scraps are for your dog or cat. If you want more information on dogs and cats killed at animal shelters being used for pet food, call (415) 954-1252. -- God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference
