The article explains how animal parts are not only used for meat and leather. A new BBC3 series called Kill It, Cut it, Use will reveal the weird world of animal by-products.
The first show on Monday at 9pm will unveil the amazing array of things made from inedible parts of cattle. As an example, many parts of the cow are used; the blood is used to put into plywood, glue, dye etc. The hooves contain a protein used in fire extinguisher foam on airplanes. The horns are used in clothes and buttons. The small intestines are used for tennis racquet strings. The fat from a cow is used in roads, explosives and drugs. The hair is amongst other things, used in paintbrushes.
I didn’t know there were so many uses for all these different body parts of the cow. I think it is good that we use all these parts. If an animal is killed, I think it is important to use every part and not let it go to waist. I am a bit shocked about all these different uses, many of them I did not know at all! I sure didn’t think of a dead cow the last time I played tennis! Perhaps it is better not to know! Just the fact that a lot of parts have a purpose is plenty of information for me.
