I'm really shocked to see some of this. Never knew so many YT members were so against animal testing/animal cruelty. How about the abuse that farm animals go through..those videos are nothing compared to that. Why are people still buying factory farmed products?

Whether or not people want their dogs' food or drugs tested on other animals is a personal choice. However, just remember it is being tested one way or another. If it isn't by the company, it is by you and your dog. And if we don't think that dogs should be isolated in kennels while drugs are being tested on them, then I encourage everyone to stand in line for an in-home new drug trial done on your own dog. I somehow doubt anybody from YT would jump at that chance.

BTW, I'm always an advocate of testing in the most humane way possible. I watched the supposed Iams videos awhile back and was appalled. I do not use their products at this time. However, I still don't think we know the whole story there and I also don't think we can just assume that other dog food companies do the same thing. Some have a promise to not do anything even close to what was on those videos. Whether or not they keep that promise, I don't know. But I sure as heck will not allow my dogs to be the guinea pigs for a dog food company unless the companies that do test don't work for my kids.
