STOP IAMS ANIMAL CRUELTY

Target: Jeffrey P. Ansell
Sponsor: Jerrilyn Garcia
  • Signatures: 578
  • Goal: 1,000
  • Deadline: 10-15-2005
Iams contract testing laboratory has a horrible sordid secret beneath the wholesome image of the dog and cat food manufacturer: dogs gone crazy from intense confinement to barren steel cages and cement cells, dogs left piled on a filthy paint-chipped floor after having chunks of muscle taken from their thighs, dogs surgically debarked, terribly sick dogs and cats crying in their cages, neglected and left to suffer with no veterinary care.

552 10:11 am PST, Nov 9 Ms. Anonymous im signing this petition for the same reasons the others have signed this, because i care about the well being of our fellow animals. We are all living things and we are all part of this planet. Animal testing is cruel. So many animals never see the light of day, feel grass on their feet, get tortured, restrained, and live behind bars there whole lives. THis is ABBSOLUTELY UNEXCEPTABLE. animals feel just like we do. what if it were a human in that cage you would probably act differently. but animals or all organisms are just like us and are no more important or less important than we are. For thousands of years humans have depended on animals and now they need us.There are no solitary, free-living creatures: Every life form is dependent on other forms... We should go warily into the future, looking for ways to be more useful, listening more carefully for the signals, watching our step, and having an eye out for partners. -Lewis Thomas. I know its not much but i really hopes it helps convince some people in takeing care of other living things rather than destroying them. Humans are so good at destruction and yet we are dependent on all the lives we are killing. Maybe it is time that we stepped up started saving the environment and get one step closer to saving our selves. we are all connected so why destroy the wonders of our world? People like mark twaine have alo spoken against this act. If a man like twain was able to take time out of his busy schedule to make a difference then any one of us could do their part. im speaking against all animal experiments not just iams. iams is one of the thousands of companys that conduct this criminal act. There are so many other options to animal testing.as i was doing my research i happend upon this website http://en.allexperts.com/q/Animal-Rights-2716/Animal-testing-cosmetics.htm this site has a list of companies that conduct animal experiments and a list that doesnt. i also advise to do even more research on trying to find products that dont use animal testing. People who are cruel to animals are sick. What big companies and scientists even more sick is the FACT that there are so many alternatives to animal testing that prove to be more effective in research any way.
551 2:28 pm PST, Nov 7 Ms. Pamela Liang The Iams company likes to present itself as an animal loving company providing quality food for pets. We know they're not! Stop testing on animals! It's cruel!
