Aren't the meat products used for pets by-products of the meat (for humans) industry? That is, isn't it the case that no additional livestock animals are slaughtered to feed pets, beyond those that are already being slaughtered to feed humans?

and the feed grown "for animals" is largely a byproduct of plants grown for people. it's incredibly dishonest.
