Some of what they say in this article is correct and other things, not so much so. Remember this is promotional material from a dog food company. It is not scientific research. They want to leave you with the impression that carnivores in the wild live almost exclusively on the by-products of their prey. In fact, by-products make up a small part of the carcass. Muscle meat is by far the most prevelant part of a wild carnivores diet. Yes, by-products are a part of the diet but only something like 10% to 15% of the diet. Most carnivores will not eat intestines or intestinal contents which is the greatest bulk of by-products.
