Waste is Disposed of in Pet Food in Canada Too – Truth about Pet Food

Thousands of livestock animals drown in the November 2021 flooding in British Columbia Canada. Alerted by a concerned pet owner, we have learned that at least 250,000 pounds of drown (decomposing) hog carcasses were rendered into pet food/animal feed ingredients by West Coast Rendering Vancouver (see video at 1:13 https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1996753475652/).

Below is a Google Earth image of the West Coast Rendering plant in Vancouver – with their (assumed) company motto on a storage bin enlarged.

• Pet owners in Canada will NOT be informed if their pet’s food contains ingredients sourced from these drowned, decomposing animal carcasses.
• Pet owners won’t be told if these pet food/animal feed ingredients sourced from drowned, decomposing animal carcasses will be used in Canadian manufactured pet foods or if the ingredients will be shipped to the US to be used in US manufactured pet foods.

Why is “Nothing Left Behind” but nothing is disclosed to pet owners? All pet owners – anywhere in the world – deserve to know if their pet’s food contains ingredients sourced from rendered decomposing animal carcasses or diseased animal carcasses.

Thousands of more pounds of drown livestock will be composted for soil additives according to a news story in the CBC.

The question is – why isn’t all material from decomposing animal carcasses composted INSTEAD of secretly disposed of in pet food/animal feed?

Wishing you and your pet the best –
