Scientists found many cat and dog food contain endangered sharks; most of the product package just vaguely use the term “ocean fish”, so customers wouldn’t realize they are feeding endangered species to their pets. The scientists tested 45 pet food products and around 1/3 of them contain sharks’ DNA; the most common identified species include vulnerable species like silky shark and whitetip reef shark.
