Crazy how people will refuse to drink from plastic water bottles from fear of BPAs and microplastics but will happily eat the dead flesh of an animal that gorged on plastics for years. Our risk analysis is as broken as our morality.

Can we assume all animal feed has similar regulations?

Oh yeah, pet food is fucked up to all hell in the same way too.

One of the happy side effects of feeding the dogs I rescued a vegan diet (they're fine BTW, healthy as) is that their food is just food. I can eat it, no weird inferior ingredients etc. It wouldn't be healthy for me long term since I'm not a dog but I'm not feeding them ash and plastic which is in most pet feed.
