Iams cruelty

I had no idea Iams did this.

Edit: Sorry but the video is way graphic, that I could not watch. I can't believe Iams is still around. This company should have their doors shut!

Some pet food companies test on animals and treat them poorly. So do some cosmetic companies and the pharma industy. Been going on for years. I've seen rescued monkeys (from a lab in Georgia,) living happily in a wildlife sanctuary. Thank goodness there are people who have the facilities to take care of these mistreated and unloved creatures. I know that there are a lot of people who believe in animal testing for medical research to help humans with life threatening illnesses. I'm not trying to cause a controversy here over those issues. If everyone began to seriously contemplate all of the cruelty done to animals in various places for many reasons, maybe there would be less suffering.

It's a nice dream, anyway.

Since its a PETA site I have great doubts that is for real.

I'm not so sure. Did u watch the video? How could all that not be real? It was pretty graphic, and now I am tainted with these pictures. Real it is, but if Iams is apart of this, don't know. All I know is someone is being very cruel to these dogs, especially the one on the operating table.

WHAT THE heck!!!! This is INSANE, I can't beleive this is happening!!! I was watching the video and started crying, WHAT WERE THEY DOING IN THE BEGINNING?? What was the point of all that? They were suffocating them, to prove what exactly? What sick experiment is this??

I can't even begin to describe how upset/pissed off I am at this!!!!!!! I know these commercial companies are terrible and have poor products, but THIS I had no clue about....I don't understand how things like this continue to happen till this day especially here in America!!

I'm saying we have no proof it's Iams, a mill, (which often does its own surgeries) or exerpts Peta set up themselves. They have done some brutal
things in the name of Peta. I just don't trust them.

I don't trust them either. I put NOTHING past them. Look at their own history.

EDIT: This from Iams' Website:

FACT: Posing as an animal lover, an activist "undercover investigator" was hired for an Iams-funded role in the contract facility. She had responsibility for the socialization and enrichment of the dogs participating in Iams' feeding studies, and was paid to develop and implement a program to ensure that these dogs were well cared for. Rather than focusing on her assignment she captured video not of the scenes of the socialization and enrichment activities she was being paid to develop and deliver, but of dogs and cats that were housed in the same facility but not a part of Iams studies.

I'm not a fan of Iams. But keep in mind this did happen 5-years ago.
