This may come across as sick (but no more sick that the discussion of bug eating
from last week -- a prejudice I am afraid I will never overcome).  But, on one
level, I am glad to hear that the bodies of these dogs and cats are being used
in pet food.  Not cancerous growths, dog collars, packaging and the like, but
why not use the fat and protein?

Maybe I'm just a little different, but I did not freak out a few years back when
there was talk of kangaroo meat being used in Burger King burgers.  (Which was
probably just a hoax).  But my reaction was, other than possible social taboos,
is there anything inherently unhealthy about eating the meat of a kangaroo?  If
not, then why the big deal?

But back to pet food, what is much, much more harmful for dogs and cats is the
addition of cereal grains.
