Truth Response: “Female growth hormones” are not fed to chickens. 1 Chickens have not been proven to cause breast development in boys and early menses in girls. These are incredible, outrageous and irresponsible claims – all to get you to buy their pet food. Company A: “The May 26, 1991 Atlantic Journal-Constitution Magazine warned about eating chicken. The magazine interviewed 84 Federal poultry inspectors in five states in the U.S. ‘Every week, they found millions of chickens leaking yellow pus, stained by green feces, and contaminated by harmful bacteria and marred by lung and heart infections and cancerous tumors. These chickens were shipped out for (human) consumption. The inspectors no longer eat chicken.’” Truth Response: Lay magazines are not the source of sound science. Horror tales can be told about what is seen in every meat processing plant – including those which process the “pus,” “cancerous,” and “feces”- contaminated carcasses in the lamb and fish for Company A. Company A: “Chicken by-products may be beak, feet and feathers. Digest is the full guts of the chicken – including any manure in the chicken when it is slaughtered.” Truth Response: Good quality chicken by-products do not contain heads, feet and feathers. 1 Are we to believe that Company A’s product contains prime fish fillets and racks of lamb It’s a real good bet they use “by-products” too. The ad doesn’t really get into what they use, just creates a chicken bogeyman, which can only be vanquished by Company A products. The definition of poultry by-products is “free from fecal matter,” according to AAFCO. 2 Company A is either deliberately promoting a falsehood, or ignorant of basic ingredient composition. Digest may or may not contain the “full guts.” So what if it did The natural diet of carnivores is the “full guts” of their prey, often the 1.

preferred first part of the meal. 1 Is Company A really advocating a natural diet or only interested in sensational arguments and hyperbole Company A: “In December 1997, China slaughtered a million and a half chickens. E. coli and Salmonella were found in chickens and ducks there. Some people died. Cooking chicken does not kill these diseases. It only deactivates them for a while. That is why at Thanksgiving, you are told to refrigerate the turkey after it is carved. Room temperature activates these diseases.” Truth Response: E. coli and Salmonella can be found in any carcass, including fish and lamb. Heat does kill pathogenic organisms. 2 True, turkeys should be refrigerated. Do fish and lamb not have to be refrigerated Company A: “To help eliminate this perceived or real allergy, (Company A) has replaced the yeast with flax meal.” Truth Response: Any ingredient, not just yeast, can cause allergy. Removing ingredients because a misinformed public thinks “yeast causes allergy” shows that the producer is following, not leading. Company A: “...the risk of cancer is increased by 69% if you use sunflower, safflower, or corn oil. (Company A) never uses these oils in their products. But some other dog food companies do use sunflower.” Truth Response: Precisely 69% Sunflower and safflower oil do not cause cancer unless improperly processed, left unstabilized or fed in excess. Company A: “No matter what other dog food companies tell you, it is a waste of money to buy dog foods that list probiotics and digestive enzymes on the label. These are killed at 1.
