I thought that maybe someone was putting out a lot of hype to sell a book, or something. To my horror and disgust, I have found it to be true now. I just wonder how many others out there are oblivious to the fact that they may be feeding dogs and cats (among other things)to their dogs and cats? And how many are aware that these same rendered dogs and cats are being fed to our cows (who are vegetarians by nature)? If that's not disgusting enough, the chemicals used for euthanasia, as well as flea collars and metal tags and collars, etc. are also going into this mix. Our food industry (both pet and human) has truly become disgusting and not worthy of our trust.

The very fact that the dog was taken to a place called "San Jose Tallow" makes me so very glad that I am vegetarian. That sounds so very wrong. My heart goes out to both Mr. Gambord and to those who worked so hard to train this dear service dog. Moving slightly up the "food chain" - I work Animal Control in WI - DOA hit by car animals are the duty of the street and highway departments, no one checks for micro-chips, so many owners may never have a clue what may have happened to "Fluffy". At least we have room to move forward and improve - story without membership or log-in: http://origin.mercurynews.com/lifestyle/ci_6677095?nclick_check=1 ACK.

Rendered?? into petfood! didn't the pet food companies all swear not to long ago that they do not render pets into pet food. Shouldn't be animal feed of any kind. Unhappy ending! a service dog becomes rendered. That is a truly horrible thing to have happened. Katie It was a Login required, but I don’t think I could have read the story..
