Last I checked, we didn't mutilate people as part of that testing. In
fact, I believe it's quite illegal.
There's a *big* difference between feeding trials and vivisection.

Note that IAMS and Eukanuba were bought by Procter & Gamble, a leading
pharmaceutical company that has no ethical problems with some very nasty
animal tests, several years ago. Animal welfare activists have only been
partially successful at getting them to get with the times and use tests
that actually have meaning instead of ancient tests that are performed
simply because they always have been. They ARE starting to get the
message and they HAVE begun to clean up their act (notably how test
animals are treated, not the tests themselves) - the more we keep up the
pressure on them, the more they'll know that people DO actually care.

Nothing is more harmful to living beings than apathy.

Dude, you're way beyond clueless. I used to feed my cats Iams because of
the perceived "We Care about your pets heath" propaganda they spew. Even
today in the midst of advanced technology company's always seem to take
the route that perpetuates animal torture/abuse.
