Care2 sponsors IAMS animal cruelty!

Target:
Make Care2 remove IAMS ads from their website.
Sponsored by: 
"For nearly 10 months, PETA conducted an undercover investigation in an Iams contract laboratory. What our investigator witnessed and captured on hidden camera would outrage any animal lover: dogs who had gone crazy from being confined to barren steel-and-cement cells, dogs who had been left on a paint-chipped floor after having their vocal chords severed and part of their leg muscles hacked out, dogs who were sweltering in scorching heat and shivering in bitter cold, and horribly sick dogs and cats languishing in their cages, neglected and left to suffer without veterinary care. The animals in Iams%u2019 tests are no different from our dogs and cats at home when it comes to deserving companionship, play, a stimulating environment, and the right not to be tormented in painful experiments."

After signing a petition to stop IAMS animal cruelty, I went back to the Care2 homepage and saw an IAMS ad! I immidietly contacted Care2, but I guess in order for the ad to be removed we have to work together...
As Care2 users, we trust is to be a genuinely caring activist network... Why should we stand idly watching as they sponsor animal cruelty?
Please help me get Care2 to remove the ad.

Care2 staff,
We the undersigned noticed an IAMS ad featured on Care2.
Please be informed IAMS does animal research, keeping animals in horrible conditions. (visit http://www.iamscruelty.com/ for further information).
We belive that Care2, as an activist, green network,shouldn't sponsor animal cruelty in any way. By featuring an IAMS ad on your website, you help promoting lies IAMS would like the public to belive in.
We are certain many companies and organizations that really do stand behind what we belive in, would be glad to advertise on Care2. We know Care2 does not really support animal cruelty, or has double standarts. All we wanted to let you know what's behind the IAMS ad. The ad that shows a cheerful dog comes from a company that tortures dogs.
Please remove the ad!
We are certain the people in charge will do the right thing, and will no longer support IAMS.

I refuse to purchase any more Iams products until there is an investigation of this matter by a reputable animal non profit.

An IAMS ad has no place on Care2 and if Care2 is sponsoring IAMS, then they are not trustworthy. I became a member of Care2, because I thought that it was a genuinly caring activist network. A place for people who wish to speak out for those, who cannot speak for themselves. IAMS cruelty to innocent animals, is not to be tolerated and Care2 should have NOTHING to do with IAMS.

This company should be put out of business. I've had several letters sent to me by them telling me they do no harm. I've learned they lie. It's very upseting to me this website has adds for them. They should be removed and if not we should leave and start our own site
