Our Beginnings
Founded by a member of Mensa, the high IQ society, Pets or Food is dedicated to bringing together people and animals.
In 1987, Sidney Zwibel was working as an animal disposal technician at a Humane Society in Lincoln Nebraska. He felt that all the animals he was responsible for euthanising were being wasted, and the act itself was irresponsible and immoral in the light of all the people going hungry across America. In 1988, Sidney and a group of like minded entrepreneurs founded Pets or Food™ to take in homeless animals and rehabilitate them to fulfill their destinies as either loving family companions or nutritious, protein rich meat supplements to those going without.
What started out as a county wide effort in 1988 grew to become a nation wide endeavor with satellite processing centers in Boise, Idaho, Gainesville, Florida, Freemont, Texas and Eau ‘Claire, Wisconsin. Today, Pets or Food™ is responsible for providing over a billion calories a day to the needy and places thousands of pets with new owners each week.
Pets or Food™ is the leading supplier of animal products to the nation’s prison systems and was recognized in 1999 by Governor George W. Bush of Texas for helping to lower overall costs for the Texas prison system by almost 15%.

In the spirit of free speach, I’ve decided to allow posters like this to air their opinions. But please know we ship over 100,000 tons of animals to discriminating consumers nation wide every year so we have lots of fans. Your base language only goes to demonstrate your lack of education, both mentally and culinary.
Well we know that all who are affiliated with this will most definatly rot in fucking hell, for all eternity with out the slightest doubt!
I’m not sure if this site is real or not, but Sidney’s got a point, just because we see fido as a pet doesn’t mean that in some poor country a starving family doesnt see it as a enough meat to last the family a month or so. If other people are able to benefit from the hundreds of thousands of strays that we just kill and throw away, and are able to sustain their family on a fixed income then more power to them. Keep Freedom of Speech Free!
You say that you sell LIVE. I’m only interested in live animal. Kids love them for pet. & Bald Egales for sale?!? are you based outside of US?! If not how in the world are you selling them?
I love this place!
All of our animals are kept in very humane conditions. Our felines, for example, are kept in a free range environment where they can run and play until sold. We do obtain a fair amount of our stock from breeders. We also obtain stock from kennels, animal control and zoos. Animals shipped live leave the Pets or Food shipping facility in good health on their way to their new home.
This is DISGUSTING! KOMODO DRAGONS ARE ENDANGERED! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING???
You sick bastards… get a life
Jeez, people. It’s only a joke. Would you think it’s really possible to obtain a komodo dragon? Really? Dodo birds? If you can’t enjoy a simple joke then you shouldn’t even be on the internet.
A.
I can assure you this is not a joke. Yes, it really is possible to obtain a komodo dragon, for a price. As for Dodo’s, we have a VERY limited supply, but thanks to the work of Arturo Eugenio, this once creature once considered extinct has been found again in the wild. There have actually been quite a few animals that were thought extinct that have been rediscovered in isolated regions.
hello can i please have a live hampster & i could do with a live bear ina bizzle
Sidney, I must tell you I am sickened but impressed. I want to know why cook dogs, I want you to at least take kittens (not the ferels the other ones) off and the goldens off for eating. Also, please take of hamsters. That is just rude for every day animals to die. Please write back. Also, what do you feed your hamsters?
Write back,
No name Dear sIDNEY!
You guys can start selling horses just contact me!
I find it somewhat amusing that people are soo attached to their pets in some countries that they don’t realise in other countries they are eaten. I myself have eaten dog and cat, and I know one of my Hindu co-workers is horrified at the idea that I eat beef. look Up Balut it’s actually quite popular in some countries-(hint it’s a ready-to-hatch duck egg boiled with the unhatched duck inside) Do not force your culture or belief on others, if you would not want the same done to you.
ANimals dont have souls —-
they dont go to heaven….
why would these people be rotting in hell?
Way to go Sid!
This is by far one of my favorite sits that I have come across.
It is a shame that there are so many closed minded individuals out there that are willing to go as far as threatening lives and completely showing their ignorance.
On a side note to you all here at petsorfood.
Kangaroo is an incredible meat and I think may be a wise choice for you all to look into obtaining.
Antelope although I have only had it ground in a meat loaf is pleasant also. I would be interested in finding some antelope steaks to give them a try.
well i ordered the golden retriever pups sent live. If service is good and the pups are in good shape then i will definitely be using your service again. I’m going to be raising the pups as pets but when i get bored with them… well… dinner time!
I’ve always wanted to see who would win between a Koala and a Komodo (of course the answer is obvious), but now I can upgrade the trashy dog fights in my back yard to exotic animal death matches. Now accepting bets. Reply if interested..
I’m sure all these animals taste really good. Just a personal preference to not eat animals I view as pets, but to each his own. I’d still give all of them a taste if it were to be served anywhere I happened to be.
Fake or not, moral belief of one culture are CLEARLY going to differ relative to other cultures.
We keep pets such as dogs where in other countries it’s quite often a meal and hanging up skinned for sale in markets.
I really don’t understand why people who “hate” sites like this drag themselves to the site and make it part of their lives. Especially when it’s not necessary.
It’s like hating the fact that fire burns you, yet you constantly put your hand in the flame. Get a brain.
Good Lord…I think I’ve come to the end of the internet….your website…the culmination of all things idiotic, arrogant (HOW many times does the word MENSA need to be mentioned?), and complete capitalist absurdity.
MENSA, you say? Doubtful. Your site shows no sign of intelligence at all, only greed. Helping the starving nations, you say? Doubtful. Not many starving people can afford the Kimodo Dragon, I’m pretty sure of that.
My impression is that you probably DO make money with this absurd website, selling to all sorts of freaks with no moral fibre. So tell me…do you raise your own bald eagles offshore or something? Last I knew, that was the symbol of the U.S., and killing one is a federal offense? And isn’t good old hamburger STILL cheaper than anything you sell, per pound? So starving people can order “delicacies” such as yours from the internet, but they can’t go to the local store and buy beef that’s raised by hard-working US farmers? Straighten this out for me, Mr. Mensa?
Did watching the old “Faces of Death” movies too many times really mess you up as a kid or something?
This site cannot be real because it is unlawful to capture and sell bald eagles, koalas and komodo dragons, as well as other rare, exotic and orotected species. Wake up guys, you are being duped… PS - If this site is real, you guys better leave in a hurry because, I forwarded your website to the FBI and they’ll be busting down the doors any minute…
Can I have an order of hush puppies?
Thats 2 goldens boiled to a crusty brown and 1 finch sliced into 10 with hamsters around thanks!
I love me some hush puppies!
OMG you F****** BASTERDS I HOPE THIS ISNT REAL OR IM CALLING TH POPO ON YOUR ASS
We can all learn more about ourselves from this paragon of moral virtue. What a noble service this is!
Your loyal customer,
Friedrich
P.S. The baby seal was fresh and tender as usual. Thanks again PETSorFOOD. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for delivering my komodo dragons on time. They were A++++ in quality. We had a family feast on it and it had the best spices we’ve tried. Will recommend to everyone.
When are your koalas in stock again?
A lot of the products on this site are probably not real, but some actually are. I placed an order for seals 2 weeks ago and got it yesterday. Packaging was better than expected with a lot of ice and wrapping.
The seal was excellent and tasted much better than expected. Definitely will try again.
its really expensive n i loved the kitten recipe but ive already ate all my nieghbors outside cats so do you think u can give me a special deal=^.^=
Dear Pets or Food,
I am very pleased to inform to in form you that YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with you!!!
I’m going to email the authorities. (I really am!)

You nasty motherfuckers!! WTF is wrong with you people? Bald Eagle are you fucking kidding me? FUCK YOU! NASTY ASS PEOPLE!!
YOU PEOPLE ARE A WASTE AND SHOULD BE KILLED FOR NO OTHER SAKE THAT SPORT!!
NASTY FUCKS
the rottweiler steaks were succulent! THANKS PETS OR FOOD
Can’t wait to receive m Chihuahua ready to eat. Can’t beat a 15$ BBQ. My friends will surely be surprised by the tender, succulent nature of the Chihuahua.
I have to tell you, those kittens were absolutely scrumptious. I think next time, I’ll have them delivered live and try out one of my own recipes.
Rock on, Pets or Food!
Thats why you gotta make sure you fry it up nice and good. Make sure to take your nigger out of the freezer atleast 12 hours ahead of time. Then heat your oil up to 400* farenheit. Batter it up and throw it in the oil until its a light golden brown. You can add an additional 30 seconds to a minute for extra crispy nigger. After cooking, you can put it on a sandwich, or it it by itself. Nigger goes great with ketchup.
YOU PEOPLE ARE GODS AMONG MEN
