I have always *heard* that they use horse meat for cat/dog food. Also, 
picking up bones for nutritional support?! You're more likely to come 
home and find fluffy choking to death. I think this man was just cruel. I 
do not believe it's legal to use ground dog for cat food, BUT i could be 
mistaken there. I do know of a dog treat that uses pig penis', so who knows.
My guess is no, because they companys know that if anyone knew about it,
they'd stop buying the product. Just my 2 cents.
