		For nearly 10 months in 2002 and early 2003, a PETA investigator went undercover at an Iams contract testing laboratory, where a dark, sordid secret was discovered beneath the dog- and cat-food manufacturer’s wholesome image.
		Caring consumers might never guess that lonely animals are confined to tiny barren cages in laboratories for years on end to test dog and cat food.

	PETA: Big Fat Corporate Lies > Let's Fight for Fifi
		Iams dragged its feet, reneged on promises, and made sorry excuses to her (not knowing she worked for PETA) as to why the animals shouldn’t be given such meager considerations as a place to rest off the concrete floor.
		An Iams veterinarian, who came to see the first group of 49 Labrador retrievers the company had purchased for testing from a USDA Class B dealer, saw that one of the dogs had given birth in a cement kennel and that she had been provided with nothing to rest on to nurse them.
		When our investigator reported that Humbug, an Iams dog, was limping, she was told by a vet tech that the laboratory had an x-ray machine that dated back to the 1960s but no film for it and that the director of the laboratory preferred to kill, rather than treat, animals with broken bones.

	IMPACT Press: Article: "Cruelty in Iams Contract Laboratories" -- Dec. '03-Jan. '04
		When the investigator reported that Humbug, an Iams' dog, was limping, she was told by a vet tech that the laboratory had an x-ray machine that dated back to the 1960s but no film for it and that the lab director preferred to kill, rather than treat, animals with broken bones.
		An Iams' veterinarian inspected a group of dogs purchased for testing and saw that one of the dogs had given birth in a cement kennel and had not been provided with anything to rest on while nursing her puppies.
		In a face-to-face meeting in 2001, Iams had assured PETA that all of the animals used in its tests had resting boards, were exercised, socialized, and received "retirement." Iams also lied to the public when it claimed that it was not aware of the horrendous conditions PETA uncovered during its investigation.

	Iams Scandal -
		Iams lied to PETA with promises to improve the conditions for dog and cats in its contract laboratories, even assuring us that enrichment programs were already in place, but our undercover investigator saw otherwise.
		When PETA's investigator reported that Humbug, an Iams dog, was limping, she was told by a vet tech that the laboratory had an x-ray machine that dated back to the 1960s but no film for it and that the director of the laboratory preferred to kill, rather than treat, animals with broken bones.
		When the PETA investigator resigned, she told the Iams representative and the lab director that she was leaving because despite her best efforts, nothing was being done to enhance the desperately boring, lonely, harsh lives of the animals.

		IAMS response to Sunday Express story in the United Kingdom - June 3rd 2001.

	IAMS Projects
		Due to IAMS' insistence on detailed field evidence and sophisticated archaeo-metallurgical studies of the finds, it has recently been established that copper smelting in Timna had already started in the 6th millennium BC, in the Late Pottery Neolithic period, and not, as previously assumed, in the 5th millennium BC, the Chalcolithic period.
		Felix Posen, members of IAMS and the Department of History at Southampton University are collaborating in a unique project dealing with metal and metallurgy in the Biblical and Talmudic literature.
		Recently IAMS decided to carry out additional excavations in the protohistoric (Chalcolithic) copper mines of Timna, in order to clarify mining-technological problems left open by the previous excavations of the 70th.

		Iams knew the truth yet did nothing to protect the animals.

		Iams also buys "purebred" litters, thus encouraging the breeding of purebreds, despite the fact that such dogs and cats are more prone to suffer health problems.
		Iams also continues to kill animals other than dogs and cats in unnecessary laboratory experiments.

	Iams Tests on Pets (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Iams researchers have snipped dogs’ vocal chords, shoved tubes down their throats to force them to ingest vegetable oil, and removed dogs’ thigh muscles only to leave them on cold concrete floors in buildings without temperature control.
		Nevertheless, Iams recently donated about $200,000 to Purdue University to study muscle atrophy in mice, which is created by suspending the animals by their tails for weeks or months at a time.
		Iams announced last week that they would stop funding university and private contract laboratories, and plans to increase the size of its Dayton, Ohio, facility instead.

	ASPCA: About Us: Iams Research Iams Statement
		We are extremely proud that our leadership has resulted in Iams taking significant steps toward assuring the care and welfare of dogs and cats used in their nutritional studies.
		On October 7, 2004, Iams announced an unprecedented decision to move nutritional studies from external contract facilities and universities into three locations: 1) pet owners' homes; 2) Iams Pet Health and Nutritional Centers; and 3) organizations where dogs and cats are already living, such as shelters.
		We will continue to work with companies like Iams that have demonstrated a willingness to change standards and practices, and we hope that other companies will open their research doors to animal welfare advocates in the future.
