Boycott IAMS Pet food
 

Im not sure if anyone has heard of this situation yet? but please check out the information..

Shelters, Veterinarians, and Retail Stores Boycott Iams
Showing a groundswell of support for the boycott of Iams products, over 100 animal shelters, veterinarians, and companion-animal supply stores have severed their ties with Iams.

The 96 shelters, 34 veterinary clinics, and 36 retail stores across the United States, Canada, and Australia are joining PETA’s boycott of Iams products because Iams confines animals to cages to conduct cruel laboratory tests on them.

(To view a list of some of the animal shelters that are taking a stand against Iams, click here.)

While giant retailers and wealthy groups like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) have decided to profit from Iams’ abuse of animals, these shelters, vet clinics, and stores are refusing to benefit from cruelty to animals. They are insisting that Iams end its laboratory tests on animals and instead rely on humane feeding tests conducted in homes and in veterinary offices using animals volunteered by their guardians.

Many of the shelters, vet clinics, and stores that have joined the boycott have written letters to Iams CEO Jeffery Ansell telling him that they will not purchase, sell, or promote Iams products and are informing their clients and customers about Iams’ cruel laboratory tests on animals as well.

If your shelter, veterinary clinic, or companion-animal supply store would like to join the Iams boycott, please contact us.

Yep, Iams does animal testing....It is so sad...I wouldn't buy their food anyway.

That is so sad that IAMS participates in animal testing and I would never support them or any other company that would do this...plus there food is junk!

Good post, but it isn't just Iams it is their parent company proctor and gamble too, which make just about everything from pringles to dog food, detergent and everything in between. Google "boycott proctor and gamble" it is insane :thumbdown

Holy cow, really?! I would never guessed that, thanks for the heads up..

wow
 

I am glad you posted that!! I had no idea and fed Iams Eukanuba for years before finding Chicken soup. I dont like PETA though. Thanks, Lynn

I agree! I don't like PETA either, but some of the info on Proctor and Gamble is terrible! They do all kinds of unnecessary testing and it is cruel too.

I've never used it and now I never will.

It is truely insane..we try to boycott P&G, but they make literally EVERYTHING!! Crest toothpast, tide laundry detergent , Pringles, PANTENE shampoo, Bounty paper towels, Folgers coffee, duracell batteries, pampers diapers, charmin toilet paper, secret deotorant, dawn dish soap....on and on and on. Just go to their website. You probably buy many of their items.
The main reasone we started boycotting them is because PG is a heavy supporter of gay and homosexuals. (if I can say that here) Target is right along with them. :(

A special note as Lynn posted, Eukanuba is made by the same company (PG). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I just checked out the link and Oh My dog! I never knew that! see the things that you can learn here on Ytalk..:thumbup:

Oh my! That's terrible. I'm glad we don't feed Tilly that or it would be in the trash. :mad:

I also have a tilly..:p
