Sodium pentobarbital is a barbiturate drug that veterinarians and animal shelters use to euthanize dogs and cats, but it can also be used on cattle and horses. As I discuss elsewhere, euthanized cats and dogs often end up in rendering vats along with other questionable material to make meat meal and bone meal.
During the 1990's, the FDA/CVM received reports from veterinarians complaining that when they used sodium pentobarbital as an anesthetizing agent for dogs, the drug seemed to be losing it's effectiveness. Based on these reports, CVM officials decided to investigate a plausible theory that the dogs were exposed to pentobarbital through dog food, and that this exposure was making the dogs less responsive to pentobarbital when it was used as a drug. The researchers surmised that sodium pentobarbital was finding its way into commercial pet foods through animals who had been euthanized with this drug and rendered for use as a "meat meal" in pet food.
As quoted by: Ann N. Martin (Author of Food Pets Die For).
AND WE WONDER WHY OUR PETS ARE SICK AND DIE AT AN EARLIER AGE. PETS
SHOULD LIVE TO APPROX. 23 AND YET THEIR LIFE SPAN IS USUALLY AROUND 16.
