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.

| 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! |

| 506 | 1:45 pm PST, Dec 12 | 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 | 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. |

| 487 | 10:02 pm PDT, Jul 24 | Randi Shears | Animals should be subject to fair treatment when any testing is performed on them including fair living conditions. Dogs going crazy and being left in unclean cages is just shameful. Bad Iams. No dogbone for you. |
| 486 | 9:37 pm PDT, Jul 24 | Kyle Martin | I believe in animal rights. |
| 485 | 11:51 pm PDT, Jul 23 | Jessica Romero | The reason I am signing this petition is that animals are treated as though they have no value. Life is important and an animals life is of value. I think that people don't consider that to be true. |

| 481 | 3:45 pm PDT, Jun 25 | Anonymous | I have recieved alarming reports about Iams before so i am not surprised that they have not changed their ways.This is the same company that had the recall on their pet foods that were killing Dogs and Cats because of the wheat gluten from China used in their food. I think the time has caome for all Dog Food to be regulated like human food.I am a Dog Groomer and recommend a human grade dog & cat food which i feed my 2 dogs,it cost more but i save in vet bills and have healthy pets.Stay away from the commercial pet foods they use too many fillers so they can sell cheaper.Your pets give you unconditional love so give them unconditional care. |
| 480 | 9:49 am PDT, Jun 25 | Terresa Whidden | I am an avid animal lover and the treatment of these animals is horrible, these poor animals did not ask to be here and I will purchase nothing from this company and will send this to everyone I know in order to stop the cruel treatment they are being subjected to. |
| 479 | 4:06 am PDT, Jun 25 | Anonymous | There is no excuse for the torture of innocent animals. |
| 478 | 7:21 pm PDT, Jun 24 | Linda Cilbrith | Animals have feelings just like humans do. It makes me sick to hear of animal cruelty. Lets all stop purchasing the Iams products until they stop torturing helpless animals. |
| 477 | 3:18 pm PDT, Jun 23 | Karen B Kelley | It is hard to entrust a company with your patronage if they have little regard for your moral beliefs. |
| 476 | 3:52 pm PDT, Jun 22 | KIM GOLDEN | I find it incredulous that a company that supplies pet food would conduct such disgusting experiments on pets. I have never bought their product and never will, even if they stop. Then again, you have to remember, they are part of Proctor & Gamble, one of the few remaining companies to still inflict cruelty to animals under the misconception of protecting the consumer. I don't eat animals and would never harm one! |
| 475 | 1:03 pm PDT, Jun 15 | Cheryl McDonald | There is no excuse for animal cruelty in any form, be it pet, livestock or wild. If live animals must be used in these tests, then they must be treated humanely & cared for in a manner that enriches their lives. |
| 474 | 6:52 am PDT, Jun 5 | kayleigh smith | becasue its horrible to test on animals |

| 470 | 8:07 pm PDT, May 25 | Danielle VanOrman | Because a company feeding animals shouldn't be hurting them |
| 469 | 3:48 pm PDT, May 22 | Danielle Rettger | Animal testing is wrong it's wrong to be killing animals or putting them in pain and stress. I think that animal testing from now on should be enforced as Illegal because it is wrong to kill them or put them in pain and stress!!! IT SHOULD STOP! |
| 468 | 12:10 pm PDT, May 21 | Jesus Christ | cause im jewish and i love god |

| 463 | 6:09 pm PDT, May 3 | Anonymous | Because last year out by where I live 3 boys savagely beat a poor 1 and a half year old puppy to death and they didn't even get in trouble! If I can stop animal cruelty like that by signing this petition, this petition is worth signing. |
| 462 | 11:17 am PDT, May 3 | Gail Taylor | I need to be a voice since these poor sweet animals do not have one!! My cats threw up there food, now I know why! Iams should lose there business license, they have NO decency for animals lives and I wouldn't want my pets eating /supporting what they do NOT stand for... Animal kindness!!! Integrity & Honesty! |
| 461 | 6:49 am PDT, Apr 28 | Alicia Fay | I am frightened to see that our society has come to the point that it has so little reverence for life, animal or human. For humans to elevate themselves to a level of thinking that anything and anyone is expendable if it will better his/her life experience has taken us back to the days of Rome. And don't forget that many other industries are using animals to test as well ... beauty, medicine, etc.. Are we willing to give up a bit of beauty for the sake of an animal's life? There are alternative ways to test products other than at the sacrifice of an animal's quality of life. This makes me physically and emotionally ill and we must keep the pressure on these companies until this stops. |
| 460 | 3:12 pm PDT, Apr 19 | Jerri Buckles | This is disgusting, these freaks who deal with these animals should be subjected to the cruel ways they do to the animals not just put in prison, these people have no heart and have problems - they should rot and be tortured and I know a million people who would like to see cruel things happen to them rather than the animals, dirty disgusting rotten excuses for humans - they make me feel physicaly sick and should'nt be alive- they are so horrible I wish every terrible thing to happen to them... |

| 456 | 9:31 am PDT, Apr 14 | Brad Miller | Civilized humans need not cruelly mutilate and torture helpless animals. It must end! |
| 455 | 10:05 pm PDT, Apr 13 | Carol White | There are alternatives to animal testing. Cruelty in labs is detestable. |
| 454 | 3:56 pm PDT, Apr 13 | Roger Williams | It is especially grotesque for a dog food manufacturer to conduct horribly cruel experiments on dogs. |
| 453 | 3:56 pm PDT, Apr 13 | Ann Cawley | to stop animal cruelity |
