The title of the thread is clearly labelled as "For those interested in learning more on raw feeding." If you don't want to learn about raw feeding way click on the thread??
Kibble manufacturers can source from any place and still say "Made in the US" for example.
If you researched what is in many kibble you would not feed it to your pets. The animal parts that go into pet food in many cases are dead, diseased, degraded, dying, destroyed, and deformed. The ingredients in many kibble formulas is not fit for human consumption so off to pet food processing they go.
To say "most are ordering buckets of deformed cows and scraping up road kill and tossing that garbage to their dogs." If very one-sided and small minded- IMHO. People that feed road kill are a minority group.
Most raw feeders I know feed Only Human Grade- Not deformed cows or road kill. Many only buy organic or direct from the farm.
When was the last time you heard about Salmonella poisoning or mold from raw feeders? Now think of how many recalls have existed in the various kibble companies due to contamination. The recalls are not due to animal illness but due to risk of human illness because many people don't wash their hands after feeding the dog/cat their kibble. |
The highlighted statement is not correct. It is a fallacy that dogs cannot be affected by salmonella. For the life of me, I don't know why people believe this. I know people on this forum who tried raw feeding and their pups had gastro issues but they are afraid to post it. I don't know why but they are. Maybe it works for some, but not all. No one feeding method works for all. Bottom line, each pet owner must make a decision about what is best for their pet.
