   When people think of pet food many envision whole chicken meat, choice cuts of   
   beef, fresh grains and all the nutrition that their dog or cat would ever need   
   . . .   
   Unfortunately what makes up most of dog and cat food today (those not qualified   
   as "human-grade) comes from the rendering plant. To render, as defined in   
   Webster’s Dictionary, is “to process as for industrial use; to render livestock   
   carcasses and to extract oil from fat, blubber, etc., by melting.” Some things   
   that go into rendering are:   
      
   * Spoiled rotten meat from the supermarket, styrofoam wrap and all.   
      
   * Road kill that can’t be buried on the roadside.   
      
   * The “4-D’s” of cattle; dead, dying, diseased and disabled   
      
   * Rancid restaurant grease   
      
   * Euthanized pets
