PETA Kills animals?

The info has been hinted at for a long time, PETA's just the group who stuck their neck out. Not many others have bothered to speak up - why should they, PETA's taking the flack. Humane societies and other advocate groups receive donations from Iams/Eukanuba and other pet food manufacturers. Think of it as old fashioned hush money. Eukanuba sponsors quite a few dog sporting events and dog shows. Most groups are too smart to bite the hand that feeds them. I kind of get a kick out of listening to the dog owners and trainers talking about nutrition at those things. They all very carefully do NOT say that they feed their dogs the sponsor's products!
If you look at it using common sense, Iams and Eukanuba aren't the biggest producers out there. If PETA were going to manufacture evidence, why go after one of the smaller fish when there are several other, larger ones? Their pattern has always been to single out the most egregious, dramatic example they can and use it to shake everyone's cage.
PETA has been taken over by the fanatics, but once upon a time they did do a good job of bringing things to the attention of the public. Like too many groups, though, they just got totally subsumed by the crazies in their midst.

but on the other hand to most people this is surprising. Peta shows commercials where they help rescue slave bears. they have charlize theron, pam anderson, robin williams, you would have thought all these celebs would know, they do truly care about animals. I must say this is a shock to me, so much that i dont know if i beleive what they are doing. wouldnt there be more coverage? wouldnt more people know? PETA must have done something right to become one of the most accredited organizations (them and wwf)
By all means, Lea, support the WWF! They do actually attempt to make a difference. The NRDC is also an excellent organization. (www.nrdc.org or www.biogems.org).

I thought that PETA did some good but they take there ideas way too far. They are not all good for sure. Like the tractor trailer that flipped on icy roads killing 25 pigs and leaving others dying. PETA wanted to destroy them but were refused, they don't tell you that a licensed vet was following the truck before the accident and stopped and was himself humanely destroying those that were suffering and saving the ones he could. They don't tell the whole truth and I would never give them a red cent because the money does not go to the animals. Better to donate to humane society or legitament organizations. However I did see the Iams video and as a result would never ever feed an Iams product even if it was the last thing on the earth. However honestly do the other dog food companies do it but just were never caught. Hard to say. But it sure is disturbing to see someone claim to be in for the animals and then they don't do as they say. How many PETA workers, eat meat, go to zoo's or circus'. Also please keep the zoo animals locked up I don't want a lion or tiger in my back yard eating my kids. They are just down the road. Scary, hard to know what to believe. Too bad! 
So can someone show me actual legimate information that P&G's process's are somehow not in the best interest of the animals. I have no correlation to P&G, but have been to the Iams/Euk headquarters in Dayton, and live across the street from the HRHC, and have yet to see any credible evidence that any wrong doing is occuring.
At least, as long as I am dealing with NaturaPet, I can be reasonably sure I'm not contributing to the profits of any company that might be using invasive and cruel testing procedures . . . and I know I'm getting an excellent product for my animals and good value for my money - something I know is not happening with P&G/Iams/Eukanuba.

Personnally the video from IAMS was enough to make me say no way. Do the others do it? Probably. Can I prove it? No. I guess we all have to make our own decisions and as long as we as individuals are happy that is all that counts. I find it hard to watch the videos and get extremely emotional, then my brain goes to mush and I get very stubborn. Like no way am I ever feeding that. Each to their own and as long as the dogs are happy and you are happy, then I'm happy. I don't preach and I don't critiasize. I can't spell either but hey we all have our faults.

Go to Peta Videos

Iams cruelty is there as well as too many others to mention.
Good way to make up your own mind though.
Happy Trails.

Thanks for the link...I appreciate the opportunity to see what everyone is talking about. What leads everyone to beleive that what was shown in that video has any relation to iams/euk or P&G? I'm not trying to start and argument. Maybe I am missing something. I also find PETA to be a relatively questionable source (they don't exactly have an impressive track record). Is there any other info available that leads to the same conclusion.
