    Default IAMS..??? animal cruelity??

    ok so i got this from a bulletin on myspace.. dont know if its true but shit like this pisses me off so bad.. i dont use IIAMS anyway.. and after watching this i never will.. i hope to god that this is not true..

    **GRAPHIC VIDEO**



    www.youtube.com/v/z7yv_FP6se8

    Scene ..1: The Iams dogs in this scene have just had large chunks of muscle cut from their thighs and have been placed on the laboratory floor to recover from the effects of the anesthetics. Some of the dogs are unconscious, while others are awake and trying to right themselves. The federal Animal Welfare Act requires that this type of surgery be conducted in aseptic conditions.

    Scene ..2: This scene provides a closeup of the Iams dogs and their wound sites.


    Scene ..3: A bloodied beagle is strapped down to an x-ray machine so that her muscle, fat, and bone density can be recorded.

    Scene ..4: One of the laboratorys employees tells our investigator to hit the dogs on the chest if they stop breathing.

    Scene ..5: The Iams dog on the x-ray machine is placed back in the pile of dogs on the floor.

    Scene ..6: Anesthetics are administered to an Iams dog left unattended on the laboratory floor.

    Scene ..7: Iams dogs, some awake and some unconscious, lie on the paint-chipped laboratory floor.

    Scene ..8: A laboratory worker holding a dead Iams dog in a black plastic bag tells our investigator that the dog bled out its mouth. The dog, who was found dead in his cage, was subjected to a muscle biopsy earlier in the week.

    Scene ..9: Iams dog Mae-Mae exhibits stereotypical behavior (i.e., pacing and circling) associated with life in a cage.
    Scene ..10: Iams dog Prancers feet are splayed by the metal slats of her cage flooring. Dogs develop sores on their feet from this type of flooring.

    Scene ..11: Closeup of Prancers feet on the flooring of her cage.

    Scene ..12: During a visit by an Iams representative, one of the companys dogs exhibits stereotypical behavior associated with life in a cage and a lack of socialization and enrichment.

    Scene ..13: The lighting was so poor in one of the buildings housing some of the Iams dogs that our investigator had to open the door to the outside in order to see.

    Scene ..14: Lacking any socialization and psychological enrichment, Iams dog Phoebe is afraid to be handled.

    Scene ..15: Iams dog Maisy cautiously greets our investigator while Maxine hugs the back wall of her cage.

    Scene ..16: Iams dog Muffy lies on the steel flooring of her cage.

    Scene ..17: Iams dog Gina looks out from the confines of her cage.

    Scene ..18: Iams dog Sally rises from the floor of her cage and cowers in fear.
    Scene ..19: Iams dog Mickey languishes behind the bars of her cage.

    Scene ..20: Iams dog Fifi, her feet splayed on the steel slats of her cage flooring, nervously watches our investigator.

    Scene ..21: A solitary Iams kitten in a barren, steel cage. Iams says that its kittens and puppies are litter-reared for companionship and socialization.

    Scene ..22: Sallys leg is caught between the slats of her cage flooring.

    Scene ..23: Under the flooring of her cage, Sallys leg can be seen.

    Scene ..24: A veterinary technician frees Sally without even examining her to be sure that her legs are not injured. Previously, another dog caught in the flooring of her cage was so severely injured that she was eventually killed.

    Scene ..25: Infected with Lyme disease, Iams dog Muffy limps in her concrete pen.

    Scene ..26: The director of the laboratory explains to our investigator why he believes that Iams is not committed to implementing an effective program of socialization and psychological enrichment.

    well like i said.. i dont know if its true.. i didnt watch the movie cuz i couldnt.. i would have been crying.. however someone did.. and they said that there was no indication that IAMS was shown in the vid.. meaning it could have been footage from random ish.. and stuff.. but anyway.. i would feel horrible if this was in fact true and i didnt pass it on..

    I watched it and was jsut reading around.. this is something that happened back in 2001 so hopefully if it is true, that type of ish like that isnt happening anymore. you would think that this day in age with technology where it is we wouldnt have to use live animals jsut to tell us if something if safe to eat or drink, its really sad that we even use lab rats. anyhting taken out of its natural habitat or kept from living a life that it should be, dog, cat, rat, or fly i dont care is inhumane IMO

    It's really sad and unfortunate that no matter what you do that somewhere, someone is getting away with some sort of animal cruelity

    apparently it was undercover.. so the people undercover sya that is where they were investigating.. but i wouldnt be surprised if the footage is misleading you to believe one thing, what they want you to beleive. I don't know what the laws are on animal testing but what stumps me is if that were true about JUST iams, that they would have been shut down a long time ago... I am not syaing that the video is right by any means btw.. I am a big animal lover so it is very sad no matter what it is if its true about iams or not.
