Re: IAMS A Recipe For Cruelty
Dear All pet lovers,
I've noticed that there has been a war of words between a few forumers in this thread. My intention of posting this topic is just to create awareness about what is done by IAMS and it's child company Eukanuba.
In a later reply to another forumer, I've also mentioned that RC was recalled in the tainted pet food scandal and recommend natural feeding.
However, I regretted that it became a war of word between few forumers on what is good and what is it not good food for their pets. To clear this matter, whatever other feed to their pet is neither mine nor your business.. As long as you feed what you think is best for your pet and your pocket.. then that is good enough...
Loving you pet it the greatest gift to everyone in this forum? Don't you agree with me? As long as you don't do something that might land yourself in this hall of shame, then you're a good owner.. Bravo...

Re: IAMS A Recipe For Cruelty
Hi dog is my buddy,
I know that forum alwas have war of words, thank you for the gentle reminder. But i would say that this war has gone a little out of hand and has turn into an un-cilvilised war instead.. I noticed that there has been exchange insults, not so pleasant and politically incorrect remarks between forumers. It's no longer an exchange of opinions. So, I hope that forumers can be nice to each other and be buddies again. No more flaming war ok? Peace....

Re: IAMS A Recipe For Cruelty
Dear members, once again, please stop the unnecessary heated disputes here.
I believe DIMB was misunderstood in his earlier postings. He is one of the most helpful and friendly forumners here, and I am very sure he is not a racist.
So, let's get back on with the proper topic of IAMS, thanks.

Yes Rowentan..
I agree that people have been uncivilized towards each other and the war of words is getting out of hand.
Its a shame.

I think a petition to this kind of company does no good. The only good thing that we can do is spread the word around. Spend some money and time printing those article and pictures from http://www.iamscruelty.com and show it to people you know and your favourite local pet store. A few caring pet store stopped selling IAMS products when they learnt about the abuse done by IAMS. They have even went to the extent of taking out Eukanuba and RC too!
Also i noted that a few supermarkets such as JUSO and Tesco are still stocking in IAMS and Eukanuba pet food, does any have contact to these store so that we can inform them of the abuse done by these company? If they are caring then they too might stop taking in these products.
Make an impact and start saving those poor animals.

Re: IAMS A Recipe For Cruelty
i have made a conscious decision to stop buying IAMS and RC a long time ago (back in the early days when i was trying out different brands for my then kittens).
i stopped when i discovered that IAMS and RC conduct testing on animals and then went on to read about the cruelty perpetrated by IAMS. it was shocking and sobering. sobering to know that how much ignorant we are as consumers, most of the time trusting implicitly the advertisements we see from advertisers.
sobering also because although we can't do much "directly" to help the animal (like rescue them, etc), we as consumers have a silent yet powerful and huge "voice" by the way we use our consumer dollars - we can make our decision and opinion known by the way we spend our dollar or in this case, our ringgit. and by making a conscious decision to avoid spending RM/$$$ on companies like IAMS, we are actually telling them where it (matters) that they will be punished for their continous practice of perpetrating suffering unto animals via their product testing on animals.
whether it is through invidivually volunteer boycott or a group petition/boycott, each small gesture of boycott will make a difference for the poor animals in their research lab.
i tend to try out different pet supplies retailers and at each place, they'd definitely recommend me IAMS and RC and other like brands (as we get to talk and discuss about cats, food,etc). their recommendation is due to "popularity" of the brand and "high acceptance" of the brand by the general public. I always make it a point to inform them that I'm not buying IAMS (and like brands) due to their track record of cruelty to animals and i find most of the pet supplies retailers are unaware of such an issue, with the exception of one or two but mostly they dont' discuss it unless their customers bring it up.
so if each animal lover / pet owner can identify with the aim of this thread and is to be socially responsible through their consumer purchasing power, i.e. wiling to "vote" with their $$$/RM, we can definitely slowly but surely create awareness not only amongst end-consumers (pet owners, etc) but also among retailers , but what is most important is amongst end-consumers (cos it is their $$$ that companies like IAMS are fighting for) and if there's large enough awareness and this translate into concrete action (like boycott, petition, demands that may translate into better legislation for protection of animals), then at the end of the day, our very small and miniscule effort of making a conscious decision to avoid buying these companies' products have really make a huge difference for all animals (especially those involved in laboratory testing) all over the world
now, isn't that something worthwhile to be able to sleep soundly on?

Re: An Iams Gallery of Misery
hi lynie
babyzee is good and resourceful but here i'd also like to record a word of thanks also to you for also highlighting on cruelty to animals in another thread (sorry i can't recall the name and i can't find it now - the forum has grown so much)
if you recall, perhaps you won't sharing the link to that thread as it is on a related issue - i'm sure the moderators won't mind

Ini mungkin cerita lama.. tapi bila I tengok video tueh.. sedih gila..cam nak nangis... I tengok tak da pun thread pasal nieh~kalau dah ada tolong merge ekk Mod.. Website tue PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) http://www.peta.org/about/ ) yang host..Check out http://www.iamscruelty.com/
Animals Still Suffer at Iams
Iams: A Recipe for Cruelty
For nearly 10 months in 2002 and early 2003, a PETA investigator worked undercover at Sinclair Research Center, a laboratory hired by Iams, and discovered a dark and sordid secret beneath the wholesome image of the dog- and cat-food manufacturer. Dogs had gone crazy because they were confined to barren steel cages and cement cells, dogs were left piled on a filthy paint-chipped floor after chunks of muscle had been hacked from their thighs, dogs were surgically debarked, and horribly sick dogs and cats were neglected and left in cages to suffer without any veterinary care.
Footage shows that Iams representatives toured the facility and witnessed dogs who were circling in their cells and sweltering in the summer heat. Iams knew the truth yet did nothing to protect the animals.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture investigated PETA's complaint and agreed that the laboratory had failed to provide veterinary care and pain relief to suffering animals, failed to provide animals with adequate space, and failed to train employees—along with nearly 40 other violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act. Sinclair Research Center paid a penalty of $33,000 for its violations.
After intense pressure from PETA and its supporters, Iams agreed to make the following significant changes in its testing program:
Iams bowed to pressure and severed its ties with Sinclair Research Center.
Iams ended all invasive and terminal experiments on dogs and cats.
Iams agreed to begin conducting humane in-home tests for palatability studies.
According to Iams, about 70 percent of the animals now in its tests reside at home with their families. In these studies, people volunteer their companion animals to participate in food and nutrition experiments from the comfort of their own homes. The human guardians can easily be trained to feed the animals and properly collect fecal and urine samples for laboratory analysis to determine the quality of the animal's food. "In-home" studies have been shown to work and have strong scientific support, as shown by the successful PetSci program, which was developed by Dr. Charles Abramson and Dr. Timothy Bowser of Oklahoma State University.
Even so, Iams still keeps up to 700 dogs and cats in its Dayton, Ohio, laboratory for non-invasive nutritional studies. They claim that this laboratory provides a decent environment for the animals, but they refuse to allow a PETA representative to see inside. Iams claims that some studies are too complex for in-home programs, but PETA urges Iams to collaborate with veterinary clinics for studies such as these. Veterinary clinics regularly see patients who suffer from ailments that a particular dog or cat food might help alleviate.
Iams has also refused to end invasive experiments on species other than dogs and cats. For one study, Iams gave Purdue University nearly $200,000 to conduct a two-year study in which experimenters taped the tails of mice to the tops of cages to keep their hind legs suspended in the air. This was done to cause muscular atrophy—the wasting away of muscle tissue. When PETA protested, the experiment was cut short.
Iams has also fought the release of information from a public university that had conducted a study funded by the company in which a painful disease was induced in dogs. What was Iams hiding?
Iams has made progress, but as an industry leader, it must send an even clearer message: No animal deserves the fate of those who remain in their laboratories. Safe, healthy cat and dog food does not require harming cats and dogs.
PETA continues to press Iams to ban conducting and funding invasive or terminal experiments on all species and to adopt 100 percent humane, non-invasive, and cage-free "in-home" testing, as many of Iams' compassionate competitors have done.
Until Iams agrees, we urge consumers to purchase dog and cat food from companies that do not test on animals. In the meantime, read about some other ways you can help the millions of animals every year who are abused and inadequately cared for?all in the name of research.
