October 2, 2007 --- All of the dead animals in California are
added to the feed of chicken, fish, beef, shrimp, etc.,which we
humans eat every day. Virtually all of the animals killed in
shelters and veterinary clinics,road kill, medical laboratories,
feed lots, deceased wildlife, etc., are sent to one company, West
Coast Rendering in Vernon, CA, where they are piled up and left to
decompose for days before being “rendered” into a sale-able
product.
“Rendering means that these dead animals are cooked in a giant
stew pot for an hour, at just above boiling, and then the fat is
drained off this soup and put in drums for shipment to cattle feed
facilities in California and elsewhere,” said Leo Grillo, founder
of the largest care-for-life cat & dog sanctuary in the world,
D.E.L.T.A. Rescue, of Glendale, CA, “the rest is ground up into a
powder and loaded by tractor into either a container or an open
grain truck, which is later used for grain and feed
transport.”
“Our D.E.L.T.A. Rescue Humane Investigation Unit followed trucks
to American companies where the powder, now called ‘protein meal,’
is added to farm-animal feed. We also followed containers to the
ports where they are loaded for shipment to Asia ... to be added to
feed for the farmed fish and seafood that comes back to the United
States and is sold in our supermarkets. Check the labels of the
seafood in the stores: ‘product of Thailand, Vietnam, etc.’”
Los Angeles County has contracted to provide its dead animals to
the same rendering plant for decades. Four years ago, when Grillo
informed the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors of where their
own Los Angeles County Animal Control’s dead animals were going,
the Supervisors were divided. Some said that they didn’t know about
it, but did nothing; others said that this practice is perfectly
legal.
Grillo continued, “What lawmakers need to realize is that these
dead bodies, along with all their cancers and other diseases,
viruses, veterinary treatments, experimental laboratory drugs,
chemotherapies, toxins and bacteria from decomposition, are being
fed to us. Yet we still wonder where all OUR cancer is coming
from.
And ‘chronic wasting disease’ in deer, which are also rendered,
is caused by the same virus as ‘mad cow disease!’ Does that tell
you something? And if you’re a vegetarian, don’t think you’re safe:
dairy and egg producers eat these same dead animals, and fertilizer
used at vegetable farms contains the same ‘animal by-products.’With
the rash of food-borne diseases in America lately, it is clear that
we are being poisoned by the food we eat.”
