Pet overpopulation is the most serious humane issue facing pet animals in our society.
Thousands of pets die in Los Angeles every year as a result of overpopulation. Their remains are collected throughout the city (from shelters, veterinarian offices and even from the streets) and then taken to rendering facilities to be processed into raw materials - which will be used in the production of items that include cosmetics, animal and fish feed.
Rendering involves crushing animal by-products (eg, fat, bones and internal organs), heating them to drive off the water content and then separating the residue into fat (generally called 'tallow') and solids.

I`am all for recycling but Puppy Blush or Kitty Pink sounds sick to me. Wouldn`t the disposal of these animals be better done by cremation then recycle the ashes back to the earth?

next it will be humans.

That was an awesome pod. It makes me question the rendering plants and why there isn't more curiosity about what these animals are being rendered into.
Oh yeah, and that guy's beard is awesome.

Shit, did he say they make make-up out of the byproducts of the rendering? I'm glad I don't wear make-up. I think you should cremate.
