Oh my god that is sick.... I was reading what the chemical is used for besides euthanasia. It's used for sedation and treating seizures. I've never heard of treating farm animals for seizures and rarely sedating them, if ever. I don't believe cows are ever sedated, definitely not chickens or anything. Horses are sedated often for teeth removal, dental work, surgeries etc. But I'm thinking the chemical would be expelled from the body after some time. Animals euthanized then turned to food would probably have high amounts in the body though.... that's really sad.Originally Posted by coldblooded
Also, as disgusting and horrible as it is, not all euthanized pets are cremated. There has been a lot of evidence stacking up (including an EPA document) that cheap pet food companies have bought 'animal by-products' from animal shelters to use in their pet food.
Something else from the FDA
Yeah, fun stuff.
