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.

| 554 | 7:24 pm PST, Jan 5 | Ms. | CF Tseng | I'm against animal testing. Animal testing is cruelty. |
| 553 | 12:40 pm PST, Nov 26 | Ms. | taraneh khanum | stop animal cruelty and meat industry. don't you what happens to our world? what goes around comes around |
| 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! |
| 550 | 1:08 pm PDT, Oct 29 | Laura Butler | I just learned of this abuse by IAMS yesterday. I could not believe it. I have been feeding IAMS cat food to my babies for 6 years. Now I will have to find a new brand. Why does our government allow such hideous things? There is no need for such cruelty. | |
| 549 | 7:00 am PDT, Oct 26 | Ms. | eve applebaum | How is it possible that this is happening here in the US? It's bad enough we have the stupid Chinese doing horrific things to animals, but AMERICANS? Treating animals inhumanely to make products FOR animals?????? DESPICABLE!!!! IAMS SHAME ON every single person who works there!! Shame on your disgusting ignorant and ugly souls and characters! |
| 548 | 9:52 am PDT, Oct 16 | Ms. | Melanie Randolph | It sickens me that companies like this only care about the almighty greenback. This animals feel pain, fear and torture just as we humans do. One life we all live and to be subjected to this life of less importance angers the hell out of me!!!!! |
| 547 | 11:46 am PDT, Oct 7 | Mrs. | Dawn Thorpe | Animal cruelty is just not acceptable least of all under these circumstances. Your company puts on a facade of caring about animal welfare when all you care about is making a profit.I stopped buying any of your products years ago and continue to urge everyone to do likewise. Shame on you! |
| 546 | 2:50 am PDT, Oct 6 | Ms. | Sarah Bennett | Animal cruelty is wrong. Every animal should be treated with respect. |
| 545 | 4:05 pm PDT, Oct 4 | Jenny O'Neil | Such torture is unconscionable and indefensible. | |
| 544 | 6:57 pm PDT, Sep 23 | Ms. | Cindy Suh | To Stop animal cruelty by IAMS dog food |
| 543 | 9:15 pm PDT, Sep 20 | Ms. | Courtney Church | Why would I support a company by buying their pet food products when there have been countless animals who have been tortured and killed for it? It would be hypocrisy. |
| 542 | 9:27 am PDT, Sep 12 | Mrs. | susie holman | because this is sickening. |
| 541 | 10:13 am PDT, Sep 11 | annamaria sette de paolis | ETHICAL PROFIT is a MUST now ! And it is unacceptable IAMS products are based on CRUELTY. I stopped to buy these products for my pets and for those cats on streets. annamaria sette depaolis rome IT | |
| 540 | 3:33 pm PDT, Sep 10 | Sara Lemay | I am an animal rights activist and I do not believe in torturing animals. I am totally disgusted by the IAMS company and I have never bought any of their items and I never will. | |
| 539 | 10:17 am PDT, Sep 8 | Ms. | Nicole Dow Stassi | I am completely disgusted by the IAMS company. I will never buy their products ever again. :((((( |
| 538 | 9:53 am PDT, Sep 8 | Kristine Hyde | stop animal cruelty, it's the human thing to do. | |
| 537 | 7:28 am PDT, Aug 31 | Ms. | Diane Swartzwelder | Because what Iams is doing is wrong, needs to be stopped, and they need to be held accountable. |
| 536 | 2:32 pm PDT, Aug 22 | Lindsay Kramer | The world will only down spiral if all it's inhabitants are not permitted to have the simple right to a decent life | |
| 535 | 11:28 am PDT, Aug 14 | Ms. | Julia Grant | People don't realise this when they're buying the food, it's not right. |
| 534 | 6:01 pm PDT, Aug 10 | Mrs. | Hema Bedasie | They pretend they're doing something good for animals but they're torturing them! |
| 533 | 11:44 am PDT, Jul 25 | Mr. | camile kray | We can't permit the abuse for commercial purposes. People who works at IAMS don't have neurons, they just follow the mass, live for working, work for money and forget respect and ethics because there is not a law that says "Don't be cruel with others" or "Don't abuse other species". Because if there is something we should not do to humans, we should not do it to other species neither. We can't abuse of those who can't speak and defend themselves, or can we test on human babies and mental handicap people?? |
| 532 | 11:47 pm PDT, Jul 20 | Ms. | Janis Ciofalo | A pet food company such as Iams needs to be exposed, WE need to let out their dirty little secret |
| 531 | 1:20 pm PDT, Jul 20 | greta malkotzoglou | i love animals and i don't allow to any body to heart them! | |
| 530 | 3:26 pm PDT, Jul 18 | Ms. | rachel h | because animals have rights too. |
| 529 | 3:59 pm PDT, Jul 15 | Mrs. | Carly Krumins | Because I do not believe that this kind of experimentation on animals is necessary to evaluate nutritional content of food for animals, due to the already established nutritional tests that do not involve animals. And those animals that have been experimented on have been treated inhumanely and not checked on regularly or made comfortable with pain medication and are re-sold to other experimental labs afterwards, which is wrong. I do not agree with any of this kind of testing for food or anything other than medical research (and only then when it it ABSOLUTELY essential, the animals are treated humanely with respect and cared for). Any other purpose is not necessary, especially for a profit making activity. |
| 528 | 12:42 pm PDT, Jul 11 | Mrs. | Bridget Hopper | animal cruelty is unforgivable |
| 527 | 10:57 am PDT, Jul 1 | cheryl hopkins | I am tired of hearing about animals being abused and tortured just because. There is usually no purpose for it and it doesn't prove anything. | |
| 525 | 11:43 pm PDT, Jun 17 | Brittney Doxsie | Animal testing is ridiculous. I don't understand how something so cruel can be allowed to go on. The pain and suffering for the animals has got to be unbearable. I can't imagine what goes through the poor animals minds when these "so called humans" do the testing. Human beings are supposed to be the one thing that animals can trust! These selfish pigs who get their thrills on carrying out animal testing should have some animal testing done on them for a change. I bet they wouldn't laugh anymore, would they? Animal testing is cruel, and people who are okay with it are pathetic excuses for human beings. | |
| 524 | 4:57 am PDT, May 26 | Anonymous | I am horrified to hear of this and will never buy Iams again or use Proctor and Gmble products | |
| 523 | 6:45 am PDT, May 25 | Anonymous | Animal testing is both expensive and ineffective! | |
| 522 | 1:23 am PDT, Apr 6 | Ms. | Laurel Watson | This is disgusting. |
| 521 | 9:15 am PDT, Mar 26 | Ms. | Ginger Geronimo | I am a huge animal lover & I try to do whatever I can to help animals. |
| 520 | 5:55 am PDT, Mar 26 | Ms. | Michelle M | Becuase I am very much agianst it and I think they need to find new ways to test things and not take poor animal lives and abuse them until they can't take it anymore. |
| 519 | 6:50 pm PDT, Mar 19 | Ms. | Rosemarie Para | It's sad when humans have to resort to cruelty to animals purely to better themselves/their business. |
| 518 | 3:15 pm PDT, Mar 11 | Ms. | macayla smith | I'm signing this petition because i see what they do to these animals and it makes me sick. I've always be against animal testing but IAMS has gone to far. i don't see how you could look at a animals and hurt them. i will never buy IAMS and I'm telling all my friends not to as well. IAMS disgusts me. |
| 517 | 6:01 pm PST, Feb 28 | Julie O'Connor | I am completely disgusted with the experiments performed on animals by Iams. It's cruel and unnecessary. If more people knew about these experiments they would stop buying Iams. Until Iams stops this cruelty I will never buy anything from them. Even if they do stop I wouldn't buy anything from them. The pain and suffering they have inflicted on innocent animals is horrible and needs to stop! | |
| 516 | 3:07 pm PST, Feb 26 | Anonymous | It's Discusting. | |
| 515 | 6:13 pm PST, Feb 22 | Mrs. | Cher Isbell | because animal testing and cruel and necessary, animals have a totally different reaction to chemicals and products than the humans would have |
| 514 | 6:25 pm PST, Feb 7 | PipperLea Nicol | Stop Now!! | |

| 508 | 6:22 pm PST, Jan 5 | Ms. | Victoria Mary Stong / Animal Rights Activist | Stop killing our animals with your sloppy & dangerous preparing of their food. |
| 507 | 3:55 pm PST, Jan 4 | Ms. | Susan Rasmussen | To help stop the cruel testing that Iams has been doing for years. How many freaking times do you need to test something? Your lab is milking it. over and over and over. you make me sick, I will never buy your pet food until you stop the testing! |
| 506 | 1:45 pm PST, Dec 12 | Mr. | Philippe Brasseur | Cruelty against animals is criminal. |
| 505 | 9:15 am PST, Dec 7 | Amanda Young | To know that Iams puts animals through that sort of torture and hell just for the sake of finding out that obese cats can develop that disease by not eating is just terrible (duh, you don't eat and all sorts of things can happen, but do we really want to find out on purpose???). I feel for these animals, as well as all the others that are tested without mercy for the sake of mankind. Animals are not put on this earth for human pleasure or labor or worse. They are presents from God and should be treated as such. | |
| 504 | 9:13 am PST, Dec 3 | Ms. | Mary Quarles | Cause Animal Cruelty is wrong. They skin animals alive, Eat them, then sell their pelts. That's horrible. I mean it would be less painfull to shoot them and then skin them. But no. they want to hurt them. Animals have just as much right to be living as we do. We Need to take a stand. We need to do something about it. |
