iams dogfood company tortures animals - UNCONFIRMED !!
just wanted to throw this out there for all you animal lovers. last night i was researching dogfood and found on the peta website that the iams dogfood company tortures animals to test their dogfood!! i never knew this about dogfood companies but you can bet your sweet that i will never, ever buy an iams product for as long as i live. if you doubt me go to the website and watch the video, it will truely break your heart. i cried and cried after i saw it. they keep dogs/cats locked up in cages, shoot them up with injections of stuff that make them pass out and drool, and even perform operations on them in the most inhumane way possible. and when an animal needs care for some ailment the vet puts it off until by the time the vet sees the animal they have to put it down. it will make you so mad you won't be able to think straight!! i encourage any of you that really care about animals to give iams "the finger" by not purchasing their products. we would all be saving animals lives! oh, and if any of you actually go to the website write back and tell me what you think!
Admin Note~:~ This is COMPLETELY Unconfirmed and as such hearsay. Without verifiable sources and proof this is simply yet another, rather sick, piece of Urban Myth.
Sorry, your post doesnt do anything for me at all. I am sure PETA would absolutely do anything on their website. How do you know that is actually IAMS Operations? Have you ever heard of stating ? You post post some hard factually evidence that IAMS does this type of cruelty and then come back on here and talk about it.
You have to prove and prove and prove before you make a statement like this and something from PETA is not proof.
As a new member you are getting off to a bad start.

tick
whatever, just reporting what i had seen on the website. don't get your panties in a wad.
Well, how about resolving this topic this way.....Iams whether its Eukanuba or Science Diet or the other sub brands that Iams makes does not have the highest quality of standards for their ingredients. Now since Iams gets the majority of their funding through veterinarians it behooves the Vets to push Iams products especially their prescription formulas. Be your own savvy shopper and read, read, read ingredients in the food. Corn, by-products would be your first sign that the company's standards are far from high.
Sadly, cruelty to animals exists and it would be nieve and foolish to try to convince myself that animals are not used as experiments and for cruel testing. It's what is great about living in America....FREEDOM OF SPEECH!! and gurl if you feel and believe what you do about Iams then go with that and stand up for what you believe in and don't be hindered by anyone else. I have my personal and very strong feelings against Iams also. To say the poster started off wrong is way off base, poster is entitled to their feelling such as yours.
Open mindedness brings understanding and awareness.

Yes, 'I did get my panties in a wad'. as you so aptly put it. Because you cant make a statement without putting proof behind it. I have used IAMS products for years. I know there is animal cruelty. Not even a fraction of it is reported. PETA will do and say anything to get their point across, as far as lobbying for chicken cruelty.
I really wish I oculd remember what company it was but years ago I read an article about an american dog food company that used road kill in their pet food, inspectors also found a dead baby circus elephant in one of the boilers....
It's important to find a company that you trust which is why I use a local company and have actually been to their factory.
You haven't mentioned what website this information is actually on... is it a certified website or one that someone has just manufactured?
Without a reference to the source this is simple hearsay and not even that good.
I ask the OP to post the sources of this RUMOUR otherwise I will be removing this thread.
IAMS has for a very long time been under fire. Not that I'm gonna get in the middle but just being the devil's advocate for a second.... Isn't it just human nature to read or hear about something and especially if your going through a similar situation as to what was read or heard about and get all uptight about it. Sometimes it's just a state of shock and one feels they want their voice heard. One may think they have confirmed evidence and I would say where is the UNCONFIRMED evidence!! Diplomatic situations is what makes the world go round.
Knowledge is power and with power comes the ability to strive for open-mindedness and with that comes awareness and knowledge. Knowledge never leads you astray but returns you back full circle.

I live in Canada and pretty well newsworthy and on top of issues. I have never heard that IAMS is 'under fire'. is this in the States ? I have certainly never heard of this in Canada. As long as I have been here, havent heard it here either and for the most part are good at carrying on the good fight for these kind of problems.
Yes, what gets my goat is out and out slander.
Its ludricous who PETA hit, why dont they put their energy into puppy mills. Now that is an issue close to our our hearts here in AMHD. I am sure shaz will agree to that !
