It would be nice to be able to safely feed our domestic pets raw meat, and maybe we can if it's of the wild variety that isn't fed hormones or commercial feed. Chickens and beef bought at the supermarkets and butcher shops are meant to be cooked to kill the salmanella that is picked up during the slaughter and butchering, but sill contain hormones that cannot be cooked out. Dogs and wolves in the wild will eat the stomach of their kill first as it contains vital nutrients from plants and berries, then they eat the organs. If they are not starving, they will bury the carcus and eat a few days later when it is ferminted, not unlike cooking it. |
