Chrissie Hynde Asks P&G Employees to Help Stop Iams' Deadly Animal
Tests
Procter & Gamble (P&G) employees returning to work from their
Fourth of July holiday weekend will find a surprise in their voice-mail:
a message from rock icon and Pretenders frontwoman Chrissie Hynde asking
for their help to stop Iams (a P&G subsidiary) from conducting cruel—often
deadly-tests on dogs and cats. Chrissie pleads with P&G employees
to "urge your employer to end laboratory tests and, instead, adopt
in-home testing programs and humane studies in cooperation with veterinarians
whose patients already have diseases Iams is interested in." The
message, as well as Hynde's call for a boycott of Iams, is part of PETA's
international campaign against the Dayton-based pet-food maker.
Chrissie’s message follows:
"Hello. This is Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders reminding you that
you didn't buy my last album. But it's still in the shops, so maybe on
the way home. By the way, a recent PETA investigation into an Iams contract
laboratory revealed dogs and cats being abused in inexcusable ways—kept
in barren cages for their entire lives, mutilated by having their vocal
cords severed and having huge chunks of muscle cut from their thighs—they're
even being killed. Don't think these tests are necessary or required by
law. They aren't. Other companies test in other ways. So, please, urge
your employer to end laboratory tests and, instead, adopt in-home testing
programs and humane studies in cooperation with veterinarians whose patients
already have diseases Iams is interested in. For more information, please
visit IamsCruelty.com. Thank you. Have a nice day. Cheers."

you can stop Iams' cruel and deadly tests on dogs and cats.
