Even IAMS quit testing in the way described, but nobody seems to know this and still accuse them of inhumane testing. |
"Humane" animal testing is rarely,
if ever, done. 1) The word "humane" is subjective, of course, so maybe that needs to be discussed; I think one of Cindy's main points in this thread (and I probably shouldn't speak for her, but...) was that "humane" testing is almost never in the same ballpark as "animal testing". Rather, they are usually polar. 2) This is more of a rhetorical question, but - where is it written that "animal testing is part of life and has to be done" - - I don't believe that is a
fact, rather, it's an opinion.
If you look in our Health/Diet section, it's actually been stated for years here that people are well aware here of how IAMS has changed their testing. Regardless, that doesn't mean people don't still have issues as to why a DOG FOOD company would engage in CRUEL food testing, USING DOGS as their subjects, in the first place. For some of us, that equates with a Value problem in the first place - no matter how they choose to change their spots going forward. I commend them for changing their methods, that doesn't mean I will give them money for their food.
