Ban the sale of Rawhide treats for dogs

Rawhide chews for dogs are full of dangerous chemicals and not only pose a choking hazard but in some cases have even resulted in death.
“Producing rawhide begins with the splitting of an animal hide, usually from cattle. The top grain is generally tanned and made into leather products, while the inner portion, in its “raw” state, goes to the dogs.” TheBark.com.
This means that contrary to popular belief, a rawhide chew is not the by-product of the beef industry nor is it made of dehydrated meat. Rather, rawhide is the by-product of the “Leather Industry”
If you use an online search engine to look at how rawhide chews are made, you can see the process including all of the chemicals, dyes and glue that are used, yet these are still considered safe to give to our dogs! Look a little further and you will find 1000's of stories of dogs choking on these treats or becoming seriously ill as their body is affected by the poisonous chemicals, too many of these cases have resulted in the death of a dog.
There are many alternatives to rawhide so there is absolutely no reason for this toxic product to be on sale in the UK as a treat for dogs.
