Iams
In my mailbox today I got a package from Peta with some stickers on Iams cruelty and a poster, so my boyfreind went out to do some shopping and he had to go the the petsore to get some food and catnip and he took some stickers with him to stick on their board and some bags of food, he said he felt so naughty I took a walk to the store and put some on some poles on the way and on the way back I saw someone looking at them, I dont feel naughty at all. I still have alot left and will be sticking them all over Brantford.

Thanks for the advice, mostly I would like to put them on bags of food. While I was walking today I went by a mailbox, but stopped from putting any there, the telephone poles I put them on are made of wood and it was too wet to put them on any concrete poles, but I wont put any on there now. The pet store I shop at has a bulletin board for lost and found pets and pets for sale, I did put one there, thought it would be seen by many and maybe change a few minds about Iams.

If anyone's interested, Mix 99.9 really pushes Iams. The also support the Toronto Humane Society (and if that isn't ironic enough, they support the BSL as well). You can check out thier website www.mix999.com if you want to make a comment.

I have stopped using Iams completely not just because of the cruelty but also because the company was bought out (general foods or proctor & Gamble i'm not sure). Their quality has gone down. I have found a terrific new food with NUTRO and is uses real chicken or beef not meal. It also contains glucosamine which I found to help with my Cassie's joints.

I was not going to comment on this thread BUT I have to agree with Schwinn. (Did I just say that, lol) PETA has some good ideas and campaigns but they tend to make the rest of look bad on occasion and we all loose in the process. They tend not to think about the society they live in and how the get their message out.
Maybe I just live in a relatively conservative area but tactics like picketing KFC because of injustice to chickens just get bad press here and become fodder for the local comics. Thus they lose the audience of so many people who would support their main causes. Now I do realize chickens need to be treated humanely and the fact that they miss is that the very people they insult - small hard working organic farmers who raise chickens for eggs - are not thrilled with being made fun. I guess on a wider level zealots scare me. There has to be a middle ground - we can have w world which is huamane to animals and others but you won;t get it if people feel hurt by your meesage. |

I've heard lots of people talk about activist groups and say, "You know, everytime I see so-and-so-group, I just do whatever they are protesting against". While I agree this isn't the most mature and rational arguement (and it's a little of cutting off your nose to spite your face), to me, it shows that the message that is trying to get out is getting lost. For example, fur. I think you'd find that the majority of the public agrees that fur for fashion is wrong. I have supported anti-fur messages in the past (including from PETA). But when you get in someone's face, and scream about something, it quite often has the opposite effect. Those of us who are directly affected by the BSL can relate. If we were to march down the middle of the road screaming about pitbulls, how effective would our message be?
