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.
