Mars And Other Pet Food Giants Have Become Fleshmongers

Vegan Pets | 12.05.2010 17:03 | Animal Liberation | Globalisation | Health | South Coast | World

Mars, maker of dairy and gelatin saturated candies, is heavily involved
in marketing animal flesh for pets. Recently the company refused
to let inspectors into its animal research facilities. A new such
facility is in Kansas City, Missouri in the US.


Toxic Pet Food Makers Mars,(UK) Swiss owned Nestle (Purina), Procter and Gamble, Colgate Palmolive



In the world 4 'pet food' companies dominate. They are Mars,
Nestle which bought Purina, Colgate Palmolive and Procter and Gamble.
All market the false idea that dogs and cats need to eat other animals' parts. 36 million cows killed annually in the US
are some of the victims of this grand lie.

One of many recalls was that of Mars animal flesh food for
salmonella.

Neither Mars owned by billionaire brothers (also maker of dairy candy bars) nor Purina owned by Nestle
allowed others into their reserch facilities. In past years a Purina
herd in Sutherland Springs Texas had Mad Cow. The news
was suppressed by the American government's USDA.

Pet food in the US is the 8th largest industry, with 43 billion in sales annually.

The USDA requires no labels on pet food. Nor does it check for any organic pet food.

Some pet owners will try to manipulate pet diet to create smaller amounts of waste,
a practice which can cause cancer.

Pet food can contain animals condemned for human consumption at the slaughterhouse
as well as roadkill. Dog and cat cancers are on the rise and pet life expectancy is
harmed by commercial pet foods. The 1500 vegan physicians and thousands of other
vegan professionals and members of the Physicians' Committee For Responsible
Medicine report that vegan diet is best for dogs and vegetarian diet best
for cats. Taurine has been synthetically available since 1930 for cats.
The heavy protein content of some commercial pet foods causes kidney dysfunction.

Marion Nestle & Malden Nesheim are authors who defend vivisection
and flesh diet for dogs and cats. Nestle whose
book promotes the fleshbased diets of Nestle is a member of the
faculty of vivisecting and primate torturing Cornell.

There is one Canadian company which markets over 81 brands
of cadaver pet food.

In Kansas City, Missouri, the Mars "PetCare" company has
begun a new vivisection facility.
