One of the lesser known things about heavily processed dog food is kind of dark. People don’t realize that they use animals from shelters that have been put down in dog food. It’s been a while, but I had read a few years ago that they found three amounts of the medicine they used to put animals down in dog food. I also recall your before that reading that some shelters make money by selling the dead animals they put down to food processing companies.

That sounds highly inefficient and therefore unlikely. Just thinking about the logistics of slaughtering all these different breeds of dogs makes me doubt that it can be done profitably.
Where on earth did you hear that?
