I have just witnessed some of the worse animal cruelty ever. To anyone who uses iams pet food, please don't. I could not put the film here since it is extremely graphic and involves the torchering of dogs.

PLEASE however, don't use that food again. It could be your cat or dog being butchered to further to the taste of their food.

If you are very brave follow this link http://www.iamscruelty.com/iams-video.asp (sorry, changed my mind, and have given you the option)

I hope that I am not going to be known for my controversial animal posts, but forums are a wonderful way of giving information to people on line.

Working with animals each day I honestly feel a duty of care, to let people know what lengths some pet food companies will go in the name of taste

.

Animals do not have a voice and how many people using this product, would know that this type of practice goes on!

here is the dilemma though. WE have turned into a 'sue them' society, which means that the companies are now testing more extensively than EVER!

So in effect, everyone who has taken legal action for damages against a company is driving this forward. it is no good us sitting back and pointing the finger, the ONLY reason these companies carry out such extensive testing is to protect themselves from litigation.

What they do is barbaric and should be made illegal.
