That is one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. Dogs have a
carnivorous mouth, carnivorous teeth and the total digestive system of a
carnivore.

We are omnivores. We have teeth that grind vegetable matter, not ones
that rip meat. We have a longer digestive system to break down what we
eat and our digestive juices are not as strong as that of dogs.

Boy, I feel like I'm back in school! These basics of anatomy were taught
in grade school for crying out loud.

The dog (Canis lupus familiaris,[2] pronounced /?ke?.n?s ?lu?p?s
f??m?li??r?s/) i

s a domesticated form of the wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the
order

Carnivora.

Do you understand what the order Carnivora contains? Carnivores! Very good!

I guess your dogs don't eat grass. Also, when my dogs eat squirrels
or rabbits, they eat whatever is in the squirrels or rabbits.

Your dogs are eating much smaller prey than most wild dogs and wolves
do. It is more natural for them to eat an elk or a deer than a squirrel.
They tend to eat such small prey only in midwinter when they can't find
anything better to eat.

This is what I'm referring to when I talk about them not eating the
stomach contents. You'd not know that though. You have a long way to go
before you think you can present a truly serious debate about feeding
raw. Your arguments are very elementary and not very sophisticated and
you seem to get most the details wrong. Eventually you will learn
though. Even stupid people are capable of learning.
