I didn't mean to imply there was reason to think there is anything hinky about companies who supply meats to raw feeders. I seriously doubt there is.I guess it comes down to having some faith in your supplier. I like purchasing from smaller companies like MPC, or Raw Paws because I can talk directly with them and ask questions about where their products come from. These folks are pretty forthcoming with information, and do not mind the questions, and post the source of their products on their websites.
Actually, I'm not really sure what my point was!
Edit: I remember what my point was. You said you doubted that animals intended for use in pet food but not slaughtered at a USDA plant must be denatured because you buy from local farms and local suppliers and what you get doesn't seem to be denatured. At least I think that's what you were saying. My point was that just because what you buy comes from a local supplier doesn't mean it wasn't processed at a USDA facility. That what you buy doesn't appear to be denatured could just mean it was processed at a USDA facility but wasn't condemned for any reason and so wasn't required to be denatured. Not *all* meat used in pet food has to be denatured,. Just meat that has been found to be unfit for human consumption or which hasn't been subjected to USDA inspection and is being sold for use in pet food
