iv never brought any iams pruducts and never will because of all the horror stories, right when they started i read about 10 alsatians being put to sleep after being over experimented on and have never changed my opinion

This has been common knowledge for a long while now. It's why I stopped feeding iams, well that and I found out how crap it is as a food

That said, and I am absolutely not condoning this in any way, shape or form, but even if you're feeding your cat raw food, unless you've kept it youself, and know how it lived and how it died, you can't be sure 100% animals didn't suffer that way either.

This happened a while back, I don't believe IAMS does any of this anymore.

However their food in general is poor quality and over priced and for that reason alone I would never feed my cat or dogs any of their food.

We also use a local farmer who hunts wild game animals (rabbits, pigeon, venison, etc). Although the organic chickens are more expensive than shop bought ones, the meat we get from the farmer is much cheaper as he will save us the animals that we can't sell, such as if the bird has been damaged whilst landing or if the rabbits are not big enough to sell at market, etc.

That was bas;ically the point I was making, unless you know the full history of the animal, you can't be 100% sure the food is cruelty free.
