What Is Iams Hiding?




for almost 10 months a PETA investigator worked undercover at Sinclair Research Center, a laboratory hired by Iams, and discovered what really goes on behind closed doors of the dog- and cat-food manufacturer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture investigated PETA's complaint and agreed that the laboratory had failed to provide the animals any basic care. Sinclair Research Center paid a penalty of $33,000 for its violations. Iams then agreed to make significant changes in its testing program, but now refuses to let PETA see inside of their new laboratory.

"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."All the companies like Iams don't care about the health and well being of these animals, all they want it money. The only way we can stop the cruelty is to buy dog and cat food from a company that doesn't test on animals, for example: "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." "They claim that this laboratory provides a decent environment for the animals, but they refuse to allow a PETA representative to see inside." Obviously if they are not allowing PETA to see inside, Iams is hiding something it shouldn't be. For that reason, is why we need to stop purchasing food from companies tested on animals.
