Iams... the suffering behind the 'science'
IAMS/Eukanuba test on animalsUncaged first exposed IAMS/Eukanuba's painful, invasive and lethal tests on cats, dogs and other animals to the world in 2001 after extensive research through dozens of scientific journals. IAMS/Eukanuba's experiments on hundreds of animals caused kidney failure, obesity, malnutrition, liver damage, severe allergic reactions, stomach inflammation, diarrhoea, severe skin disorders, lesions, skin wounds and other painful illnesses. Our exposé became a front page story in the Daily Express, and the embarrassment forced IAMS/Eukanuba and their parent company, Procter & Gamble (P&G), to claim that they would stop lethal tests on cats and dogs in their new 'research policy.' However, in 2003 IAMS/Eukanuba were exposed again - dogs kept in shocking condition had been force-fed vegetable oil, had chunks of muscle removed from their thighs, and been 'de-barked' by having their voice-boxes cut out in a painful and bloody procedure. The damning evidence confirmed IAMS' 'research policy' to be nothing more than a sham. Several major UK animal organisations - e.g. the RSPCA, the Dogs Trust, Blue Cross - severed ties with IAMS/Eukanuba and P&G as a result of the exposés and our campaigns. As have hundreds of rescue centres, shelters, kennels, catteries, 'pet' shops, training centres, cat and dog clubs and breeders. Our campaigns appear to have made IAMS/Eukanuba finally stop killing cats and dogs in 'pet' food research. However, they continue to knowingly cause pain and distress to cats and dogs in long-term laboratory experiments. And documentary evidence from research establishments and IAMS/Eukanuba's own admissions reveal that they continue to kill other animals in cruel nutrition tests. Furthermore, since 1999 IAMS/Eukanuba have been part of the Procter & Gamble corporation, which continues to routinely poison and kill animals in tests to develop cosmetic and household products. If you want to persuade IAMS and P&G to mend their cruel ways and stop animal testing, boycott IAMS/Eukanuba and other P&G brands. "I must thank you for your professional,
objective handling of the facts."
