old horses get sent to the glue factory

Wait, animal glue is real???

 

[Colin_T]

they used to use old or unwanted animals to make glue.

not sure if anyone remembers cat gut tennis rackets. the strings were made from cat intestine.

surgical thread used to be made from cat gut too.

Yeah they use the hooves of animals to make glue. That's why Elmer's glue has a cow

Holy cow! (Pun totally intended. )

When I was a kid I lived not far from a slaughter house. I checked it out, gruesome stuff "but that is where hamburger and steaks comes from" and they also did horses too but I never saw one slaughtered. They would load up big barrels with bones and left over parts and ship them off to somewhere where they separated parts to make soap and glue.

I would hate to have that job, I couldn't handle slaughtering animals one after another. As a vet tech I know there will be some euthanasia but I can handle that

I want to be a vet tech, which is kind of like a nurse for animals. Only 2 years of college instead of 6 (probably why I chose that instead of vet lol) I have done a little bit of online classes

I always want to open my own aquarium, I’ve seen a lot of people here success with aquarium.

Start studying now, even if it's not official study. Get books on vet health and read them. Try to find vet courses online and do 1 or 2 subjects. Then when you eventually decide to go at it full time, you will already know some of the subject.

Already am! Online college courses, reading, pretty much all of my spare time is researching some kind of animal
