The Iams Company

DO NOT BUY IAMS DOG OR CAT FOOD!
In Iams testing facilities in the poorly regulated southern states of the USA, you will find, «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 hacked from their thighs; dogs surgically debarked; horribly sick dogs and cats languishing in their cages, neglected and left to suffer with no veterinary care.» (from
).
If you don’t believe me, check out the website for footage from these labs. Despite thousands of regular requests from every animal rights and animal welfare group in the country (from the HSUS to the SPCA), Iams REFUSES to respond with honesty or any real action.
On top of all of this, Iams foods are full of fillers and crap that isn’t even good for your pets! There are tons of other brands of dog and cat food out there that are comparable in cost and WAY better in quality that don’t conduct these horrific tests (California Natural, Natural Balance, Wysong, etc).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not feed your pets IAMS. A financial boycott is the only way to make any sort of a real difference because it’s the only thing that these people will listen to.
I mean… the fact that this even happens is insane to me. It’s like we live in Back to the Future II where the whole town is burning and Biff is boning Lea Thompson and there are hovercrafts. Except for the hovercrafts… we don’t have those. So basically, we are fucked.
***Yelp doesn’t recognize Dayton, Ohio (where Iams HQ is) as a real city so I had to put them in SF. HILARIOUS!!! Makes me really love Unilocal because they are basically like, «Yeah, you, Dayton, you aren’t a real place. That’s right, we think you’re bullshit and won’t even make room for you on our website! TAKE THAT!”***
