And thats the grease thats recycled at the rendering plants and probably back into pet food somewhere along the way.

The reason people do not know unless they belong to this forum or other sites (you need a computer for that) about the pet food tsunami is the media is all about spin, cover-up and spin more. As a few have said 'stop feeding this garbage' already. Do your own cooking and stop the slow death of any animal from this garbage, septic tank, sewage food.

Sometimes the aromas from them can make you hungry even if you thought you weren't before. Used to know someone who lived near one of the Nabisco bakeries and you could smell chocolate all over the neighborhood when they were making Oreos. There's also a lovely scent in the air if you go by any of the Campbell's plants when they're cooking soup. Why is their a stink in the air when supposely wholesome pet food is being made, unless it's due to the ingredients being put into it?

The PFI hasn't done a thing to improve the quality of pet food. I wish there was a MASS boycott of commercial pet food. These folks are still in business because people don't have time or money to make needed changes OR they don't know any better. You'd be surprised how many pet owners do NOT know about Itchmo and/or the extent of the pet food debacle...That's what companies like AN, MF, and Walmart are banking on....
