Cages and research are one thing but abuse and causing unnecessary pain and suffering is another...
| PETA isn't my favorite organization but I don't want to support puppy mill or anything where animas are abused. My dog is in a crate but is out all the time. She actually prefers it in the crate but I would never leave her for a long period of time (usually the door is open). I grew up in a farm so the idea of having cage animals is just so sad but all of our dogs were crate trained and within weeks were potty trained dogs.
I have not yet to find IAMs or Eukanuba come out to defend themselves. I wish they would since I have a bag of it and I know my parents have large bag (they have a chihuahua so it will take forever to finish it). Anyways, IAMS/Euk are both own buy Proctor and Gamble and they practically own everything. I trusted them since they are a huge sponsors to many dog shows.
I'm a nurse and working in medical field... everything is tested on animals and even the organic products out there are somehow tested inhumanely. It's hard. There are regulation but I know many reserach departments don't even follow the ethical guideline. |
