I'm not arguing with you at this point, we've reached a mutually satisfying conclusion. Considering the fact that you've represented the position of "I don't care what others eat" from the beginning, we've been on the "same side" for quite some time. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite14" alt=":P" title="tongue    :P" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":P" />Animal feed =/= pet food. Animal feed is a broader category of products (including livestock feed), and since those weren't tested, I can't reasonably assume that there aren't any "pets" in there. In fact, it might be likely, since IIRC we've seen that cow bone and meat meal was found in cow feed during the BSE outbreak (though I still question whether contaminated meat would be used for those purposes). Anywho, it's one of those "all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares" situations. Not all animal feed is pet food. The FDA doesn't have to "be present" at rendering plants when they can just regulate the end product, which they do. There was apparently enough people like you who were concerned that there might be pets in pet food that it validated conducting a study to check those claims. They found none, great.It's interesting how you're the one bringing up "plugging ears" and "Lalala-ling" and now you're threatening me with your "ignore list", as if it's some scary penalty I should fear. I'm a skeptic - you know when I'll say "there's pets in pet food"? When I see a study that says "we found pet DNA in pet food, these are our methods, these are the brands, this is how much we found". This study doesn't exist, so it's better for us to agree to disagree than to continue a fruitless discussion.tl;dr There's no reason to be upset.gif</blockquote>
