    Thumbs down Boycott IAMS

    For everyone that has a Dog or Cat may want to read up on this.

    For nearly 10 months in 2002 and early 2003, a PETA investigator went undercover at an Iams contract testing laboratory, where a dark, sordid secret was discovered beneath the the dog- and cat-food manufacturer’s wholesome image. Our investigator found dogs who had gone crazy from intense confinement in barren steel cages and cement cells, dogs who had been left on a filthy paint-chipped floor after chunks of muscle had been hacked from their thighs, dogs who had been surgically debarked, and horribly sick dogs and cats who were languishing in their cages, neglected and left to suffer without veterinary care

    For most of us pet owners, IAMS has been on the ban list for a while.

    I hope this gets out enough. Hopefully enough to take them out of business, and make an example out of the bastards.

    Im sure its bad, but PETA is full of extremists. Its easy to make one side of the story look really bad. They could lie/embellish if they wanted to.

    Im willing to bet all the other dog food company's do similar tests.

    Its all about making your own dog food out of veggies and meat...

    yea no doubt like when peta did that thing on slaughterhouses (narrated by alec baldwin!) it was the extreme cases in countries like mexico but they were making it come off like american slaughterhouses are down right dirty as all hell.

    Again. An organization posting facts. There is no disputing these segments of information and images. So people, if someone starts posting that's it's normal and PETA blows things outta proportion -- please ignore them, everyone else does.

    I think they are legally covering their ass when they spell my last name wrong on the spam mail they send to me house. I think if I sent them money, they would spam more.

    I don't understand how you can say that? Pictures and video aren't enough? Do you want a tour of the manufacturing plant or something? That's thick-headed thinking IMO.

    IAMS has been under all sorts of investigations for quite some time, and for those reasons, they've been off my list for a while.
    Same with KFC (kentucky fried cruelty), they're just terrible.
