I don't believe this, but just wondering what everyone else thinks..

Im not shur if I belive it but then again anything can be true these days

Peta.com has a Peta2.com now lol I never new there was just a peta but either way I still like peta.

I don't believe it. They don't give any proof. They said they took video but didn't post it. It's PETA and they are not very trustworthy.

They also want the give dogs vegetarian dog food. Isn't that bad or something because they are supposed to eat meat? It's ok for humans to become one, but I think/thought it would be harmful to dogs.

Dogs are carnivores, so yes, vegetarian diets are harmful. Why people subject their dogs to a vegetarian diet because they don't believe in animal cruelty is beyond me. Especially since compromising your dog's health for your own morals is cruel, in my opinion.

Actually, I am inclined to believe peta on this one. I don't trust proctor and gamble with a grain of salt. Besides, Iams isn't a good brand of food. It is crap that has a very low score as a dog food but so much money is poured into marketing that people are led to believe it is a quality food. I've no doubt that they could care less about the testing subjects that eat their food.

I heard about Iams several years ago, it may have been through PETA, I don't remember, but the problem was not that they were giving dogs their dogs food obviously but confining them to small cages and denying good medical care. I am apt to believe it- most companies don't care about their employees, let alone a few animals, it's all about making money.

[smokey the elder]

I hadn't thought about it that way! If large corporations can downsize at a whim, then what chance do the poor furries have?

[moosmom]

It's from PETA - take everything they say/do with a grain of salt.

What Sara said is absolutely right on the money. Besides, what dog or cat in a cage ISN'T lonely??? It's the way they worded it.

[critter crazy]

You cant take anything PETA says as truth!!!!!

[Lady's Human]

Just for a minute, look at this logically.

For a test to have any validity, you need animals who are going to be in the same general condition as the pets who are going to get the food. If the animals are abused, ill treated and unhealthy for reasons other than the food, then you can throw all of your test results out the window.They're meaningless, because you've introduced too many outside variables.

[BOBS DAD]

I dunno... seems their may be, as some have said - at least a grain of truth to what they are saying. But they are such a radical group that one would have to wonder where the truth ends and the hype begins.

[Catty1]

When the PETA Iams boycott began...was it two years ago?...one of the main complaints was that the dental care food was tested on dogs...by cutting the dogs' gums til they bled and then seeing if the food helped.

That's all I remember...there was a series of letters between one of the PETA people and a rep from Proctor and Gamble...while the PETA writer was insistent, it seemed like an intelligent, balanced exchange.

That's all I recall.

Whatever PETA may be like, whether IAMS are really like that or not, someone filmed that. That HAPPENED. Wherever it was and who was responsible for it, I couldn't really care less. It just saddens me deeply to think of all the things we put our beautiful friends and sharers of our Earth through.

And BTW, Zsa-Zsa doesn't like IAMS either

[Lady's Human]

Someone filmed Starship Troopers, too. Doesn't mean I'm looking for aliens to start dropping out of the sky.
