Iams Pet Food Cruelty

[Caninegirl]

I came across this website earlier today, I didn't know Iams was so cruel.
"Iams Tortures Animals"

OMG they were beagles. Like Emma

 

[Meggie]

Huh, darn, I gave a Peta site a hit. Something like this would carry more weight with me if it wasn't associated with Peta.

I wouldn't believe PETA if it told me the sky was blue.

I saw the Iams cruelty photos some time ago. I swear I will never ever buy anything from that company. Don't forget that Eukanueba is part of the same company!!!! This company is EVIL

 

[MISSLUCILUCK]

Unfortunately Iams and Eukanuba are the two largest funders of medical research done on dogs and cats... Another thing is - do a little research into what they and other dog food manufacturers make dog food out of - if you think the testing alone is bad - just wait!

I'm not a fan of PETA myself, but the cruelty they discovered did happend and the IAMS company even admitted it.

haha...I love how the pictures and some of the segments of the video have absolutely nothing to do with Iams or Procter and Gamble. Added in there for "shock-filler". Peta has almost no support outside of their organization for this, either...except from those of you who fell for the "lets make it look like a Nazi death-camp" bit. Peta also has similar sites posted for almost every other pet-product manufacturer, too...that doesn't sound fishy at all.

On top of that, anyone encouraging activist activity against private businesses is nothing more than a terrorist.

Hey guys look! I found an unbiased website that says the EXACT opposite!http://www.iamstruth.com/iamstruth/en_US/jhtmls/home/IT_Home_Page.jhtml?li=en_US&pti=HP

lol brought to you buy Iams. I'm sure that's just as unbiased.

They admitted to experimenting on animals...but denied most of the claims made by PETA's investigator. Stated they were "bizaar" at best.

If everything that PETA and the anti-iams site was true, why wouldn't they have been in the main-stream media? You can't tell my the 6-o'clock news wouldn't be interested in a home-based shock-story that would effect every household in the nation...

Just adding some light to how seriously you can take such claims from an organization that thinks people shouldn't have pets.

How many do you want? This is old news so you if you are expecting headlines you are behind the times.

Well I guess I'm a terrorist Any private business that, for example, engages in human rights abuses, I will picket if possible and/or financially support organizations that picket.

Even with illegal activist activity against private companies, I hesitate to use the term "terrorist" because given the state of the world, a few reactionaries breaking into a lab and freeing some monkeys seems small potatoes as long as there are people beheading hostages, kwim?

 

[makenzie71]

How many do you want?

At least one from people who actually do invetigative reporting. Everyone of those simply say the same thing...a bunch of people are boycotting Iams...ntohign else. Nothing about how legitimate the claims are or efforts on their parts to investigate themselves or anything. It's just a story.

As said...Procter and Gamble never denied animal testing. In fact, they support it. But PETA has made claims that they've broken laws...why haven't convictions been made?

 

[bubbatd]

Research and experimentation is in any dog food program... it's the only way they can improve. I'm sure none abuse the dogs.

 

[rottiegirl]

That is so sad. I will never buy an iams product again!!

 

[rottiegirl]

They forced vegetable oil down the dogs throat. They cut chunks of muscle out of the dogs legs. The dogs never even get to see sun light. That is cruelty!!

According to PETA. According to Procter and Gamble, they didn't and don't (well I'm sure they experimented with common food-stuff oils).

Who are you gonna believe? Both sides have an agenda.

OMG I couldnt stand to watch much of that video! Poor beagles!! I want to take them all home!! It makes me want to cry. Poor doggy kept looking up and around and didnt know what was going on. :'(

Peta is a terrorist organisation. They condone bombings of facilities for the sake of a cause.

All companies make use of animals for testing. Better testing on animals than on humans first.

Also, Eukanuba does provide food for all the dogs of the MIRA organisation (it's a charity that trains dogs for the blinds and disabled). So all is not bad, all is not pink either.

Wake up people.

I mean peta wants you to give your dog, a carnivore, a meat eater, a vegetarian diet... COME ON!
