How you can help to stop the suffering
 BOYCOTT
IAMS
- Boycott IAMS/Eukanuba and other Procter & Gamble products. For
more information on the annual Global Boycott P&G Day click
here.
BUY CRUELTY-FREE PET FOOD

Buy pet foods produced without suffering and killing. Consider vegetarian
and/or organic foods. See our information sheet
discussing other pet foods or send for a copy of the Compassionate
Shopping Guide.
-
The Compassionate Shopping Guide is an 80 page guide to cruelty-free
companies, shops and supermarkets. To send for your copy, make
a donation of £5 or more.
LOBBY ORGANISATIONS
- The RSPCA have confirmed to us that they have severed all fund-raising
links with IAMS & Eukanuba, but they are reluctant to make a public
statement. Please contact the RSPCA to urge them to clarify their position.
Address: Patrick Chapman, Head of Fundraising, The Manor House, The
Causeway, Horsham West Sussex, RH12 1HG. Tel: 01403 264181. email: enqserv@rspca.org.uk.
- The Kennel Club - organisers of the world famous Crufts dog show -
have been shown all the evidence about IAMS' cruel animal research in
detail. However, not only does the Kennel Club accept IAMS as a major
sponsor - thereby promoting this callous company to thousands of 'dog
enthusiasts' - but it also defends IAMS' cruel practices and misleads
people by repeating IAMS' deceptive research Policy Statements. The
Kennel Club have even made statements about these experiments that are
so untrue even IAMS won't make them! (eg. that all IAMS' research was
10 years ago!!). The Kennel Club claims to be an organisation that cares
for the well-being of dogs ("The primary object of the Kennel Club
is to promote, in every way, the general improvement of dogs" it
states) - just not the ones in IAMS' 'pet' food research, especially
when there is a huge sponsorship cheque on offer!
Please contact the Kennel Club to urge them to resist the lure of
IAMS' considerable sponsorship deals and take a principled stance
against cruelty. Phil Buckley, External Affairs Manager, The Kennel
Club, 1-5 Clarges Street, Piccadilly, London W1J 8AB. Tel 020 7518
1020. email: pbuckley@the-kennel-club.org.uk.
- IAMS marketing has even infiltrated Guide Dogs for the Blind! Please
write to Fraser Alexander, Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, Hillfields,
Burghfield Common, Reading RG7 3YG, tel: 0118 983 8379, fax: 0118 983
1302, www.guidedogs.org.uk.
Ask them to stop using and promoting a pet food made by a company that
has abused Labrador puppies (see section (vi) of full report).
- Contact animal magazines (e.g. Dog World, Dogs Today, Your Cat, Your
Dog - some addresses here) expressing your outrage
at IAMS' cruel testing. IAMS' massive advertising budget is another
obstacle here. Magazines who receive large advertising revenue from
IAMS are often reluctant to criticise them - which is a bit cowardly
really.
- Contact supermarkets to complain about their promotion and selling
of IAMS' cruel pet foods. The bottom line is: selling IAMS = selling
cruelty. Sainsbury's Pet Club has even been actively promoting the sale
of IAMS & Eukanuba! Threaten to boycott supermarkets who are too
greedy and unprincipled to stop selling IAMS. Stage demos and actions
in or around supermarkets to educate the public about IAMS.
- Speak to your local pet food supplier or retailer about IAMS cruelty.
Many have already pledged not to sell IAMS or Eukanuba ever again!
- If you know of a local animal sanctuary, kennels or cattery, contact
them to urge them to dump IAMS/Eukanuba. We can supply leaflets to these
places so that the public can become informed.
- Vets are also used as IAMS & Eukanuba pushers. Ask your vet to
shun this cruel company.
- There may be other animal organisations or businesses (e.g. National
Canine Defence League, Cats Protection League) that you have knowledge
of or contact with. Ask them if they sell, use or promote IAMS, and
urge them to dump IAMS if they do.
