Food Pets Die For

In November 1997, after several years of research, Ann Martin's new book Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food (NewSage Press, $18.98 Cdn) was released. In her book, Ann Martin reveals that the unregulated pet food industry recycles euthanised companion animals into the meat meal which is the protein basis for pet food. This same meat meal is also used as a protein supplement for animals raised for human consumption.
