This is so inhumane.
Workers in an industrial city of China have admitted that a substance that found its way into pet food killing dogs and cats in the United States, is routinely added to animal feed as a fake protein.
And the killer additive is called....... "Melamine".
For years........ some Chinese Animal Feed manufacturers have supplemented there "Animal Feed" produce with "Melamine"....... which is supposed to be a cheap additive that looks like "Protein" in tests even though it does not provide any nutritional benefits.
Many countries in China......... buy Melamine scrap to make animal feed such as "Fish Feed" and "Dog Food". One of the manufacturers of Melamine has said that there is no such regulation within China that restrains from animal feed manufacturers from adding "Melamine". Maybe, no such regulations have been placed till now coz there was no such accident reported earlier. And, as per this company, in China atleast......... no regulations come up atleast till there is an accident.
In April this year...... 16 pets were reported dead and the death was reported for the presence of "Melamine" in "Wheat Gluten" and that has made pet food manufacturers the world over to re-call 60 million packages of "Wheat Gluten" across the world.
There are also concerns that "Melamine" could also be found in food meant for "Humans"....... food that contains direct "Wheat Gluten"........ or its additives.
Is'nt it inhumane.
