*hugs*

this is v.sad

but at least sumone else feels the same

i just have to keep keeping away. it’s tough. real tough. sad.

walmart and iams are not really frens with furry things and the game is not so awsome cos it wnt save scores.

please instead of (just because they are huge multinational corps and can get customers easily) the walmart and iams ads could we have loads of animal charities instead i wd personally be willing to donate cash to them + u thru ur site if u did.

have some kind of partnership with them?
it may not be viable, i don’t know.

i still don’t get posts from u tho until the game goes away as i don’t trust either company but ur site used to brighten my day every day,

also many animal charities dnt gt the exposure they need.

bring back the love…
cheersxx
p.s i miss u

On the other hand the PETA site keeps trotting out the same story, implying that cruelty must still be happening even though they concede that Iams made significant changes.

Seems like beating a dead horse to me (yes, intentional animal-based metaphor to inflame the PETA peeps)…

you call that natural? i won’t stop being a vegan until the farming industry becomes sustainable and humane. that’s when things will be back to normal. (which is probably never).

big sigh. it all started from a silly game…

Besides, its a personal thing, the majority of cans you’ll find are between 72% and 82% save a select few – Natures Menu(comes in a pouch) is pretty much 70% meat.

AND pretty much all your prescription foods come as wet.

My cat gets his daily allowance of dried as well as a tin of Applaws(a food where you can actually see what is in it, such as tuna prawns etc)

I would however always do whats best for the cat, and if that means wet then so be it! he comes first.

its called the circle of life.

Care to explain what you mean by that?

surely its a question of choice.

You are promoting a website written to defame a pet food manufacturer on the basis of an incident that happened 7-8 years ago in a facility not even owned by the company being defamed.

Better yet, not only has the site not been updated in 6 years, it was written by a group that last year alone killed 95% of the adoptable pets brought in to their “shelter” by well meaning if uninformed people.

And unlike PETA’s allegations against IAMS — that accusation isn’t based on heresy, it’s based on their own records they themselves filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture.

All of you who support PETA really need to look very carefully at the group you are supporting… look at the causes they support, the bills they attempt to get passed, and what they do with your money. It doesn’t take a MENSA member to spot their ultimate goal — no more companion animals, ever.

Most people can’t afford that. (I use it because I have a diabetic cat) Most people have to feed ordinary pet food that has corn in it.

It’s not evil. It’s affordable.

If we left them to their own devices they would eat mice and birds. Maybe you should lobby a pet food maker to make food out of mice and sparrows.

If you don’t like IAMS for whatever reason, don’t buy them. If you think they are doing something illegal or immoral, what are you doing about it? Have you written to IAMS and asked them to stop? Have you complained to Congress to regulate the treatment of pet food test animals? If you’re not being proactive about what you see as a problem, shut up about it.

I object to Walmart’s grocery policies. I make my stand by not buying groceries at Walmart. If enough people felt the way I did, Walmart would get out of the grocery business. In this country, people are free to support or not support anything they want.

If you now hate ICHC, go away. Don’t hang around here souring the site for others.

It’s a fun silly game.

the majority of your better foods won’t advertise on tv. well since you’re a pet store clerk its your job to inform people of what their pet would live best on. different foods have different benefits. but to be fair i would never feed wet as its pretty much 80% ‘moisture’ and as for corn, rice etc. its providing the nutrients the dogs/cats need to survive.

Besides, dogs can actually be vegitarian (wouldn’t make them though but this would please peta, yeah.) but cats need the protein Taurine to survive.

since you work in a pet shop, you’d know this.

Also I like the game, i don’t like iams, and since i don’t like iams i wont buy a bag, but iams will pay ICHC for advertising, and they need money to pay for running costs. so therefore playing the game is fine, just don’t buy iams if you don’t agree with their policies.

i’m a student, what if my studies were sponsored by the Monsanto company? or KFC? what would that say about my morals??

Wal-Mart is a fantastic store.

(dn gt me started on iggy pop)

i’m pobably being naiive here and imposing my worldview or something.

i’ve never posted here before either and i’m annoyed with myself for doing it when it’s for negative reasons.
i really do love to come here and read posts as it actually reaffirms my faith in human nature, not meaning to overstate the influence the site has on my life or anyrthing.

i did, incidentally, have a go at the game but found it a bit frustrating, so i’m not really against the game in any way just the two sponsors.

wal-mart own asda over here.

Ok, i read the first 15 arguments against IAMS and the dreaded WALMART. I skipped ahead to comment.

Yeah, Iams is, to put it bluntly, crap food. it’s better than some, but not much.

Do your research. There is nothing better you can do for your pet. Know what it needs, and cater to that.

Frankly, as a pet shop clerk, I find it extremely frustrating when people come in to my shop and ask me “why shouldn’t my pets eat Iams? Science Diet? Whiskas?”

If you don’t know the answers to these sorts of questions, why own a pet?

If you are trusting advertising, or, simply, you vet, ask freaking questions!

Here’s a major hint as to why I think these food are bad…

How well does an animal that is a pure carnivore live off of corn?

I welcome the answer.

Iams cruelty

Wal-mart’s disgusting wacko political right wing agenda.

I still love ICHC though. :3
