"Pet" Food Industry : Lay Off the Animals! Can't Post

am helping my friend to post this article up about animal testing which i think it's so wrong !!!Mad




How many people would ever guess that frightened, lonely dogs and cats are
confined to tiny barren cages in laboratories for years on end and have horrible
things done to them, just to test "pet food"? Are these tests necessary? No. Are
they required by law? No. Do they cause animal suffering? They certainly do.

Compassionate consumers reject the confinement and mistreatment of dogs and cats
used in nutritional studies. They People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (
PETA ) to do all they can to get animals out of laboratories exactly like the
one that was recently uncovered in an investigation involving animals used for
IXmX and for Menu Foods, a Canadian company that makes canned dog and cat food
for sale to large chain stores under private label agreements.

PETA have asked both IXmX and Menu Foods to stop all laboratory testing, to
which IXmX said is impossible. But they know it isn’t.

Like IXmX and many other “pet” food manufacturers, Menu Foods conducts tests to
measure the “metabolic energy” of dog and cat food. Such tests are inherently
cruel because they involve severe confinement in stainless-steel metal cages.
PETA’s undercover investigation at a testing laboratory with which Menu Foods
contracts found countless examples of cruelty and neglect.

During the tests, dogs and cats are forced to live in cold, hard, barren
stainless-steel cages with no toys or beds. PETA’s investigator took video
footage of animals circling endlessly in their cages, suffering the severe
effects of lack of stimulation, exercise, and socialization. Metabolic cages are
approximately the size of a cage that your vet might use for animals recovering
from surgery. Imagine keeping your companion animal in such a cage day after
day, year after year! You wouldn’t do it. But Menu Foods dogs had no choice and
virtually no life.

PETA’s investigator called a researcher at Menu Foods and asked if the animals
could have some toys but was told, “If you give them toys, they are going to
have higher activity and [this] will affect the [metabolic energy] result.” He
even went so far as to tell our investigator that the protocol doesn’t call for
toys!

These miserable animals were not given adequate exercise, either. The dogs were
only “exercised” in the galleyway on wet and often filthy concrete on the days
when their feces were not collected for the study, and the cats never received
any exercise at all. They were simply stored in small carriers while their cages
were cleaned.

To view pictures taken or a video of the investigation ( 2002 - 2003 ), log on
to www.iamsodead.com/iams-photos.html and
www.iamsodead.com/iams-video.html respectively.

IXmX, which also makes EXXaXaXa, is not the only company that uses animals in
laboratories for feeding trials. For a list of pet food companies that DO NOT
test on animals, go to www.iamsodead.com/food.html . Thank you in
advance for not supporting animal-tested pet food companies - your companion
animal(s) will too.

hi,

it's really horrible. wonder where'd they get all the dogs to torture? who knows, maybe some were once happy dogs that were dognapped by them evil people.

metabolic studies in excuse for not providing toys and exercise? that's so pathetic. how sad, how sad.

exactly ... i think animal testing is so wrong... they even try cosmetic stuff on animals to see whether there's any side effect before they let it out to the market for human to buy it. but think about it. human and animals are different and if animals pass the test it doesn't matter it will work on human !! damn those people there!!

i got this from a friend who's err a member in http://www.peta.com. she studies in the same college as me and were telling me about this and i told her i would help her post this up in the forum and so she wrote this whole article up. as far as i know that's the only 2 brands that are using animal for testing so far. for pet food that is.

there are other things that they use animal to test whether it's safe or not then only release it to the market.

food and beverages - CriXXo, SuXXX DeXXXXt, FolXXXs do use animal for testing too.

Hair Care - HeXX & XXXulXer, PXXtXXX, VXXal SXXXXN

Skin Care - CleXrXXXl, OiX OX OXXX and etc

this products were also using animal to test whether it's safe for human too .. there are more but just too lazy to type all out ... ahhahaa Smile

Re: [drew] "Pet" Food Industry : Lay Off the Animals! [In reply to] Can't Post

well u and me and everybody combine here is not big enouhg a voice to tell them to stop this loh
all we can do is b4 buying a product check whehter it states that no animal testing has been done.
some product has it some dont..
so its really the consumers choice.....
ppl will still buy the products if they need it
if u say some fast food rest. serving fried chicken is cruel then u dont go there..but how true is this article u got there
dont believe everything u read.

This is very sad. But what we can do to stop them is stop buying those products that don't state 'this product not tested on animals.'

The brand I know that state they don't test on animals are BXDX SHXP, St. XvXs

Re: [doodle] "Pet" Food Industry : Lay Off the Animals! [In reply to] Can't Post

yeah, most products do not state that whether they do animal testing for their products at all ... that is why PETA is here ... PETA investigates about animal testing everywhere and every product and tries to persuade them not to use animals for their products testing. i've got a list of products that are so far found using animal testing but jsut couldn't post it all up !!

Hi,
I, too, didn't believe the PETA accusation. I thought it was some dirty competition trick form other dog food company. U know, bad publications so that peopl boycott the products...Mad
But after several web research, just knew that PETA is independent non-profits organisation with no1 involved but pure heart people who want to help poor animals Smile
