Yesterday morning, Procter & Gamble's annual meeting received a special guest when a PETA doggie (a gal in a costume, not a canine in Norfolk) stopped by to urge P&G—the maker of Iams dog food—to stop making animals suffer in laboratories.
 |
PETA's ongoing campaign to end animal testing at Iams has led the manufacturer to end all invasive and deadly animal tests involving dogs and cats—but Iams refuses to end its support for experiments on other species, and it still keeps as many as 700 dogs locked up in its laboratories for feeding trials and nutritional studies.
To encourage passersby to choose cruelty-free doggie chow, PETA demonstrators passed out free samples of V-dog high-protein dog food. Not only is V-dog not tested on animals, it's also vegan!
V-dog is one of many alternatives to animal-unfriendly dog food. You can check out a complete list of cruelty-free dog foods here.

Lams has been abusing animals for years and they refuse to cease and desist. That means Lams should not even exist !

How cruel could testing dog food on dogs be? they either eat it or they don't. If they don't then Iams changes the formula

I was horrified when I viewed Peta's hidden video of Iam's testing on beagles. I felt so bad, seeing the miserable life they had. I wrote to Iams and not being satisfied with their answer I decided to never purchase Iams'again or their company p&g (proctor & gamble)

i sent in my protest letter to iams via peta and they emailed me back saying, oh that happened a long time ago through a contract company as soon as we found out about it we stopped it and adopted the dogs. and thought it was unfortunate peta was exploiting this issue. don't worry, i sent them a nice letter back. give me a break.

i emailed iams saying how mean they are to their animals and how it is wrong and they sent me one back saying that its all a lie and that the video was from ages ago but i don't believe iams. they are still not treating animals with respect.

I actually telephoned IAMS about a year back regarding a video exposing them testing on dogs. The women I was speaking to lied straight at me saying this was a false accusation against them.
I dispise a LIAR!
NO RESPECT for IAMS.
Most people I know will not buy IAMS food for their pets.
IAMS days are numbered.

The Iams video was revolting. How could the experimenters not have by arrested! It is illegal to cause suffering to cats and dogs (unfortunately not all animals) I'm sure most lawyers were afraid to take on a large company like Iams if it was brought to court. We really need more vegan or vegetarian lawyers!
