Why is everyone surprised?

Frankly, dog food is the least disgusting thing she's had in her mouth recently.

Fuck the both of you, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 23 points 4 hours ago

As someone who worked at a place that boarded pets, you bet we tried most of the dog food at one point. The only thing I remember decently after all these years is that treats can be pretty decent. Someone had some chicken jerky, no spices or anything. That was certainly the best. Milkbones are bland and dry. Can't remember much else, like kibble and such, which really just says it's not horrendous and not great.

Thank you for doing the research

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 26 points 5 hours ago

This really completes the Trump-inner-circle motif. Team orange moron now includes couch humper Vance, the brain worm, Steve "Wannabe Hitler" Miller, and now welcoming dog chow Loomer!

Laura Loomer the dog chow groomer

She positively highlights that it comes from “protected” Canadian bison so there are “no hormones” and “no vaccines given to the bison”.

These people are now claiming food, and pet food, need to be unvaccinated?

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 hours ago

Is livestock usually vaccinated?

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 33 points 5 hours ago

On an industrial scale (like we have in the USA), yes, we vaccinate the hell out of livestock. I understand that it has to do with their terrible conditions and diets. If they weren't vaccinated and fed antibiotics like crazy most wouldn't make it to slaughter weight or be able to keep producing (milk or eggs).

One example of cow vaccination information: https://extension.umn.edu/beef-cow-calf/cattle-vaccine-basics

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago

Eh, the antibiotics are only in part to keep them from dying. It also promotes faster growth. In actuality, the majority of the time they don’t need antibiotics to make it to slaughter.

[-] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 minutes ago

Furthermore, it's been argued that this gung-ho attitude with antibiotics is promoting the growth of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

[-] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Yes, very much so

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

yes, because debilitating viruses could wipe out herds, especially for those factory farmers where animals are living in destitute situations.

it's also one of the reasons why eating horse meat is illegal in the U.S because horses are pumped with stuff because theyre raised to be companions for work rather than for consumption.

She should've eaten it like a normal person: as a dare when you're like 8 years old.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Definitely ate a milkbone on a dare as a kid... honestly I don't even remember it tasting bad, the only thing I remember is that it was - unsurprisingly - dry as fuck.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

For the record, Hill’s Science Diet was gross. Maybe my friends should’ve dared me to eat a treat instead

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Be honest, 18 years old

[-] Dipbeneaththelasers@lemmy.today 3 points 5 hours ago

I buy my dog a particular brand of dog treat because the damn things smell SO GOOD. Literally like a bakery. I've never eaten one, but I take a big whiff of the bag every time it's open.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Alright, now you sound like my late uncle who told me how his carob dog treats were so high quality humans can eat them… I guess I ate more dog food as a kid than I initially thought, but they were NOT good

[-] Late2TheParty@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago

Why don't you taste-test your dog's food?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I'm so confused. Why would take away your own single upvote? That zero looks sad. Like it's saying "Even I don't agree with what I'm saying!"

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

They did the same in another thread. Perhaps they’re trying to upvote themselves not realizing it removes the point instead.
