i know it wrong alot of things we eat or use is made just like this but with monkeys and other aniamals

Would not toutch Iams food my other half used to feed it her cats before I met her and we soon switched. Our dogs and cats get fed Fish 4 dogs.

this is discusting, couldnt watch it all

Its horrible isn't it, I remember watching something about iams years ago, they were operating on dogs and then leaving them on the floor crying in big groups, is that this video? I darent watch it im at work and ill start blubbing...

Didn't watch the footage, but I don't use Iams because my Vet told me it was very high in salt and not therefore the best of foods.

thats disgusting, i new iams did things like that anyway, but never seen any videos before!

but everybody perfum, aftershave , drugs and so on is made this way

Unfortunatly this is so true.

Haven't watched the footage I'm at work but I can imagine what it is, glad we swapped from iams after bad reviews and not agreeing with saff at all. I really had no idea.

Not so much nowadays - a lot of companies have bowed to pressure & stopped animal testing. Superdrug, for example, the Co-Op & Marks & Spencer for example.

I haven't watched the video due to the fact that I am too gutless as I know I will cry and then not be able to sleep thinking about it..but regarding personal products there are heaps of decent companies around that obviously have a conscience that don't have to experiment on animals with their products.

We dont use iams.i havent watched video we feed are dogs either pedigree dry or bakers complete.Ive tried them with wagg once they wouldnt entertain it

Best food to feed your dog is one of the non advertised brands like arden grange, applepaws or james wellbeloved. All those supermarket brands are full of crap, too much salt and additives galore.

My puppy was weaned on Iams but I am now (he's 8 weeks) converting him over to Hill's Science Plan on the advice of my vet as she said that Iams was not the best of foods and as a vet she couldn't recommend it. Haven't watched the video as I know I'd start crying

I'm sure james wellbeloved is owned by Pedigree

I had no clue. Poor dogs. I have been feeding IAMS to my dogs but I am switching now. It is the first food to not make Oliver have a skin reaction. I am gonna try the Newmans own or Timberwolf next.

Not if you're an informed consumer. All of my cosmetic products are free of animal ingredients and none have been tested on animals (except for my deodorant as it is the only brand that works for me).

I would also like to point out, however, that PETA is not a very good animal rights group. They euthanize over 90% of the animals they take in to rehome and have an anti-Pit Bull stance. They are pro-BSL and wanted to euthanize all of the VICKtory dogs and still want to euthanize all Fight-Bust dogs. If you love animals, PLEASE do not support PETA!!


EDIT:
They hide their hate for the breed behind nonsense reasoning:

"Pit bulls are the most abused breed of dog, and it is the relentless abuse of these dogs at the hands of cruel people that motivates our efforts to stop people from bringing more pit bulls into the world to be hurt and exploited."

“Breed-specific spaying and neutering legislation is an important tool in ending the tragic exploitation of these breeds.”

Excerpts from Ingrid Newkirk's (PETA's prez) article “Some Dogs Are Weapons – Ban Them.”

"The pit bull's ancestor, the Staffordshire terrier, is a human concoction, bred in my native England, I'm ashamed to say, as a weapon. "

"Pits can take down a bull weighing in at over a thousand pounds, so a human being a tenth of that weight is small potatoes to them."

"People who genuinely care about dogs won't be affected by a ban on pits. They can go to the shelter and save one of the countless other breeds and lovable mutts sitting on death row through no fault of their own."

The truth is, PETA's hatred for Pit Bulls comes out of fear in the above mentioned article, Ingrid confesses that, "I have scars on my leg and arm from my own encounter with a pit." She fears these dogs and has made it her mission to exterminate them from the planet under the guise of "Animal Welfare."

I use to feed it kaiser ages ago but stopped when i realised all the bad things about is now he gets wainwrights

Im disgusted with IAMs, I buy my older dog treats from them, NO MORE, after I seen this, Sticking with Pedgree, How hell they get away with this I dont know, They should be sued for this, And this people brought to justice, IF they already havent been In trouble for this ?!

Thanks Cat for that. I had no clue of that. I am defo Anti PETA now. Good lookin out!

Wow! Actually I am *issed off now. I read a little on the subject.... I had no clue they were against my pups. Done with em...

We feed Rascal Raw food - Whole Prey Model. Nothing but lots of meat, a bit of bone and bit of offal She's thriving. Her teeth are super clean too! I reckon given dogs have 99%(?) wolf DNA I reckon if we feed them as the carnivores they are, we can't go wrong Our vet told me yesterday Rascal is a "beautifully healthy specimen, in great condition"

Yes my Winston LOVES raw meat too... I gave him some raw mince and steak ( human grade ) he couldn't shovel it in quick enough. I offered some to Jethro . he just looked at me.. you have got to be joking!! I worry that maybe Winston wouldn't get all the vitamins he needs as a growing boy, if he only ate raw meat. So I give him puppy food as well, but he always eats the raw meat first.
