Ummm...you do realize that if euthanized animals were actually fed to other animals that those animals would die too, right? Hence the LAWS saying you have to bury a horse/cow/whatever that's been euthanized...otherwise the birds/bald eagles/etc eat it and subsequently die. I don't know where you guys hear these things.
In animal shelters they don't use injection to euthanize - so no chemicals - and they ARE picked up by rendering plants. The only animals that are cremated are the ones that are brought in to vets and paid to be euthanized by pet owners, otherwise it's the vacuum chamber.
This isn't true at all. Most shelters euthanize with the same drug a vet does, very few use any other method. Euthanized animals are not sent to the renderer, but they can go to the dump. Most dumps cover daily hauls with a layer of dirt to keep out predators, but theoretically an animal could get into that carcass. But the renderer does not process animals with euthanasia drug in them.
