Is soap really made from Horses?

Question

Dr. Bernice Bergstrom · Accepted Answer

They used to make soap from horse fat and glue from the hooves. I am sure this still happens in foreign countries but i think there are better sources of ingredients in the states.

"The products which come from the rendered body are as follows:Bone and blood meal- feed or fertilizer (it is high in nitrogen and calcium).Stearic acid - goes to car tires. Cartilage, tendons, hooves - produce a gelatin, and is used in products such as Jell-O, camera film, and canned ham gel.Feathers and hide (known as "dry matter") - make up a protein mass at the rendering factory. It is turned into pellets to for animal feed."This site has more info.http://equineprotectionnetwork.com/slaughter/rende...

Guess what you fools.... Horse byproducts ARE still used in the production of Glue, Geletan and soap as well as lots of other things

Dr. Bernice Bergstrom · Answer

Nope. Neither is glue or gummy bears. They used to make if from their hooves, but that isn't done anymore.
