				 |  Do Not Buy Iams Here's Why!  Not sure where to put this thread so i am putting it in general! I am attaching a vedio of an investigation of iams. Here is what is happening with why you should NOT  buy iams!  They are impregnating dogs and cats and everythign else they make a food for for that matter and cutting their legs so they can not get any excersise and just feeding them their food to see the development speed of the babies then aborting the babies and PTSing the female dogs. Links to YouTube videos (graphic videos - WARNING!): http://tinyurl.com/2hptxu http://tinyurl.com/2evssx If you have a weak heart for things like this please just trust me you don't want to watch these videos! This is strictly an informative thread not trying to start anything just inform everyone what is going on!

				 |    I suppose we all sure be made aware of this, but the videos???  I did not watch them, I do not think it was necessary. Thanks for warning us that it was graphic. But not for me (JMHO)

 until ADMIN gets in to fix the problem the first one is an actual excerpt of the investigation and the second one is a slideshow of babies cowering and hiding from everyone with words telling what happened to each baby.

				 |    Thanks so much for posting this and I think the videos are fine here... Once you watch them you will never want to feed Iams or Euk again. Nobody has to click play.

				 |    it is hard to see the video but I watched it. I never bought IAMS not only because of their practice but they don't make quality product. I hope they will stop animal testing imediately......   |

				 |    This awful!  How could anyone do this to another living thing?  Does Iams work for PETA or something?   |

				 |    Dear Lord. I wont watch. This is sickening. I forwarded this to my Sister who feed her cat and puggle IAMS. Told her  not to before, but I hope this will change her mind.

				 |    I wasn't going to.  I kept coming back to the thread.  But then, I felt like I "owed" it to the babies.  Obviously I can boycott Iams (which I already did before this anyway) but it's the very least I can do - acknowledge their suffering.   Does anyone know if there is a website where all dog foods are "graded" against cruelty? It's quite possible (and probable) that Iams isn't the only villian here.

				 |    Um yes it is quite possible that iams is not the only cruel company. Iams is the only one i know about for now....i will do some searching to see if they have a website based on cruelty to animals.
