An animal glue is an adhesive that is created by prolonged boiling of animal connective tissue.

These protein colloid glues are formed through hydrolysis of the collagen from skins, bones, tendons, and other tissues, similar to gelatin. The word "collagen" itself derives from Greek kolla, glue. These proteins form a molecular bond with the glued object.

Stereotypically, the animal in question is a horse, and horses that are put down are often said to have been sent to the "glue factory".

A. "For animals though, particularly kittens, puppies, birds, or other possibly sensitive animals where paint thinner might have a irritating effect on the animal, there are other choices. Since it may not really be known what kinds of sensitivities certain animals have to chemicals of any kind, it would be nice to have an alternative. In speaking with many professional pest management technicians, here is a short list of other solvents that they have used, successfully, in removing the glue: Dishwashing liquid detergent Hand creams Rubbing alcohol Cooking oil Peanut butter or regular butter It appears that many kinds of oily materials will dissolve the glue, so removing it from sensitive skin, hair, or feathers with cooking oil seems… [cont.]
