Recycle the pets it was tested on, great innovation

It's funny if it's pets but often true if it's about farm animals (e.g. the glue for labels)

I thought it was mostly made out of oil based chemicals nowadays?

Especially labels on food items are often glued with animal derived glue because it's food safe.

Note it’s made with, not from. So other types of animals (wild, working, etc) are probably included too.

Given the condition cats’ coats stay in, there are probably enzymes in cat saliva that evolved to have conditioning qualities. So a shampoo made with cat saliva is not entirely implausible.

They're eating the cats. They're recycling the pets.
