dog testing

[Lacy's Mom]

These are the companies that PETA lists as doing animal testing. So to be fair, i guess we should boycott all these companies??? it's a shame that with all our technological advances we are still doing this to poor defenseless animals.

I'm not blasting anyone, I'm just saying that the internet is not a reliable source of information.

In this case Peta has been very active in trying to educate the public on what has been going on in Iams. They finally were able to document with undercover people and help with inside employees on what is happening. Unfortunately our laws allow animal testing and some of them are just plain stupid things like hair spray, perfume and cosmetics. I have know about this for at least 4 years and I do boycott Proctor & Gamble products. I also try to always buy products that say "no animal testing was done with this product".

http://www.iamscruelty.com/introduction.asp

http://www.peta.com/

While Peta has gotten a bad name with normal America they are the only organization that works to try and stop animal cruelty on all levels all over the world. As painful as their website is you would be shocked at what is happening in this country along with many other countries. While growing up I loved going to the circus and rodeo's but I can no longer support the cruelty they impose on the animals. Peta's website educated me on these things and I feel we all should be aware and try to do our small part to help end the suffering.

[Kim000001]

WOW thats a lot of companies that do animal testing, it probably would have been easier to list the ones that don't!!

I was going to move to Iams but I won't bother now

Does anyone know any of these makes? Any they can recommend? I wish we had the variety of super premium foods they have available in the States...

Arden Grange
Burns
Europa
Fromm Family Foods
Naturediet
Pero Foods
Top Number and Happidog
Trophy Pet Food

I too am in Canada, and my Bailey was on Iams when we brought him home, we took him to the vet for a health check a couple of days after , and she said not to feed him that, there is a lot of fat, corn and filler....she recommended either Acana (which is made here in Alberta) or Nutrience. After talking to a couple of groomers as well, we decided on the Acana because they both said it is best for a yorkie coat...they have a small dog puppy food, also a lite adult for my over weight beagle, plus we have a cat with alot of food alergies , we talked to a rep and were told this is good for her (their cat food) so she is now able to eat dry food with out vomitting all over the house. I'm not sure if you can get it there, but if you can I would give it a shot...hope that helps a bit.

i agree....anyone can place ads like this on the web. i would be cautious to believe this. iams is such a large company (proctor & gamble), i dont think they could get away with this.

[txshopper73]

PETA also has a lot to say about Iams... PETA and Iams

These are two foods that are sold by vets. Why do vets push the sales? Not because these foods are all that great but because they get a cut off of the sales!

very true, also people shouldnt forget vets test on animals when they are training and sadly i think a lot of vets do it just for the money or they wouldnt charge so much.

[thinkpink]

What do you think pharmaceutical companies use to test their drugs before testing them in humans?

Well, if we're going to boycott, fair's fair. Check out this web site:

http://www.petakillsanimals.com

We can believe everything we see on the web, nothing we see on the web, or we can spend a lot of time checking out everything we see on the web. The first two are just plain dumb and the third is somewhat impractical.

I don't have any answers - or even any suggestions. Just thought I'd broaden the issue - it seems NOBODY's hands are clean.

Very eye opening. I hope those that support PETA will have a chance to go to the site.
