Iams (and Procter & Gamble) do horrible animal testing. There are videos on the web, though I can't look for them here at work to link them, but I imagine if you were to google Iams and animal testing, it could be found very easily.
I can understand why animal testing is done, and again, I'm not preaching, but when a pet food company needs to do tests on dogs (other than taste testing!), I can't support that.
No Iams for me, but thanks for the deal. I'm sure there are lots of people who will enjoy it.

This is exactly why I never touch Iams.

Nasty rumor ... so I googled. And found more ... rumors. Maybe not so odd, the most reliable info I found was on the Iams site ... defending itself against rumors.

If you're going to claim a company is doing terrible things, please provide some proof. Any idiot can spread a rumor.

I'd love to see Iams provide some proof that they don't do some of the things that are rumored. I wouldn't say that Iams can provide a reliable source on this subject, because they're not going to tell the truth on the subject without being legally forced to.
Watch the video, because I'd say that tells the story better than some corporate spin:

Right, but are you sure that it's Iams, is all i'm saying.
I could show you a clip of the monkey getting electrocuted from Faces Of Death and tell you that it's secretly obtained footage from the Betty Crocker corporation conducting an experiment to discover the effect of Hamburger Helper on the cerebral cortex or something. Because I have video, does that make it true?
