My oh my. Such hyper-sensitivity and sarcasm there (is it really necessary one wonders?), it's difficult to know where to even begin with a reply. Suffice it to say that nobody was suggesting anything remotely like what you said in that penultimate paragraph, or what you were sayng in general in that reply. If people are personalising what others have said, then they are totally misunderstanidng the whole point of a forum such as this, and it's irrelevant and unnecessary to the point of the topic itself to start hurling abuse at others.

You're not suggesting they are "happy" because they once knew they were facing death, but now are not, surely? Commercial options are a safer bet for nutrition. The PFMA says that commercially prepared raw dog food marked as ‘complete’ meets the guidelines to provide the nutritional balance a dog needs in their daily diet.

The scientific/technological mantra of "garbage in, garbage out" springs to mind here, and feeding poor quality food is in no way good for any animal - no matter how much better quality food they also eat. It all has to go through the same bodily functions, the body has to deal with everything that is put into it, and an animal can only eat a certain amount of food.
