Yes it is a profession and yes it is totally gross. A pet food tester as the name says has the job of tasting, judging and making sure that the food that our loved pets would eat is safe and delicious. If the person tasting isn’t satisfied with what he’s eating it’s back to the drawing board. Mr Gooley owner of a pet food company says “I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like being a mad scientist. People look at me blankly and say, ‘I just don’t get it’. But I wouldn’t do anything else.”
Someone’s gotta do it I guess.

Don’t worry. It sounds way worse than it actually is. When chicks are born they all cuddle together in masses trying to stay warm.
But these cute young things need to be separated according to their sex.

Brutal, but true.

But some brave soul needs to collect that venom by hand. They gently expose the snake’s fangs and squeeze out the deadly juices.
“The only difference between me and any other company in the world that produces something is that the means of production here can kill you…and wants to,” says Alabama snake milker Ken Darnell.
