#1 Sounds like another good reason to make the feeding of animals to like animals illegal.

#2 Nothing goes to waste in the meat processing industry. Nothing. The scraps that don't go into hot dogs or sausage or such get rendered down to recover the oils and the resulting solids go into animal feed. I know of one meat processing plant that even has a cover on its wastewater treatment pond that captures any methane and feeds it back to a boiler.

It's not unusual for a pork processing plant to process 7,000 pigs per day. Can you imagine the massive pile and foul stench if any of those wastes were just piled up somewhere in a dump?!?
