WILL ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS BE USED TO FUEL YOUR CAR???

Isn’t it enough that, in our society, animals are tortured daily ?? Tortured in the name of science,sports, research and food. Now researches are taking it a step further, using animals as bio fuel. It is estimated that by 2012 over 1/2 bilion gallons of bio fuel will be produced by ” animal by products. I wonder how many animals and how much suffering will go into a gallon of fuel!!?? I dare you to put a price on a gallon!!!

Years ago Exxons slogan was put a tiger in your tank, who will take the slogan ‘Put A Chicken in Your Tank”?  More importantly, where will this end? Will it end with Chickens?  Pigs? Cows? Unwanted shelter Pets?

Supply and demand is set to see biofuel feedstock prices climb dramatically if oil prices top the records seen in 2006. At $80 a barrel, the ethanol could bid $5 a bushel for corn, diverting the crops production away from food consumption to powering our vehicles. The same holds true for biodiesel with high oil prices resulting in high soy prices. But soy is hardly the only biodiesel feedstock as we’ve seen recently, and wholesaling for 60 percent of crude soy oil, tallow and rendered chicken fat could be the new game in town.

Estimates put total U.S. biodiesel production in excess of one billion gallons / 3.79 billion litres by 2012. And biodiesel produced from animal fat could account for as much as half of that. That’s a whole lot of chickens.

But that’s ok, because companies like Tyson Foods, which has recently announced that they will establish a renewable energy division, produces more than 2.3 billion pounds of chicken fat annually. Using current technology, this should be enough to produce around 300 million gallons / 1.14 billion litres of biodiesel. Taking advantage of this booming interest in biodiesel are groups like the Dutch company, BioKing, which is producing 25 farm-sized biodiesel manufacturing units a week from its factory in Gravenpolder, Holland, for sale throughout the European Union. BioKing plans to sell the same to North America.
