Dear Learned Listers,
I ran into a horrific piece by a journalist I used to be in touch with
-- he's a serious guy -- and looked up a few things based on his
report. Here it is:
"LA Stories: A cat becomes a cow as the US sets its pets alight - but
not its cigarettes"
<http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=505766>
It's downright awful. The idea that dead pets could be used by
rendering plants -- the source of the animal gelatin used for most
emulsions -- strikes me as supremely disgusting. The news that
administration officials are covering up this amoral dead pet trade
and its inputs into our everyday products is particularly revolting.
