ARTHRITIS LINKED TO HUNTING !

 

IAMS TAKES AIM AT WILDLIFE

 

On December 8-10, the Iams Company will host the First Annual

Upland Gamebird Hunt and Seminar in Arlington, Georgia.

 

A brochure sent by Iams to veterinarians with an interest in

" sporting dog nutrition " promises participants " the pleasure of

hunting quail, pheasants, and chukars in the heart of the

'Quail Hunting Capital of the World.' "

 

The conference, which includes presentations on arthritis and

ligament ruptures, as well as innovations in fracture repair,

need not include the maiming and killing of defenseless animals

to be of interest to veterinarians purportedly committed to helping

animals. Unfortunately, Iams has refused to cancel the three

half-day hunts that make up the hunting portion of the seminar.

 

Please write Procter & Gamble (Iams' parent company) and ask that

 

It ends its support of the maiming and killing of wildlife by

canceling the hunting portion of Iams' First Annual Upland

Gamebird Hunt and Seminar in Arlington , Georgia.

ATTENTION, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

 

The ICCVAM Authorization Act, if enacted, would encourage federal

agencies to accept non-animal product-testing methods. H.R. 4281

passed the House on October 17. Now, we need to persuade the

Senate to pass the House version of the bill.

 

Unfortunately, although Senator Barbara Boxer is a cosponsor of the

bill, she has put a hold on it. Please CALL Senator Boxer TODAY

and request that she REMOVE THE HOLD and ALLOW the

ICCVAM authorization bill (H.R. 4281) to PASS.

Senator Boxer's number is:

 

Tel: 202-224-3553.

 

Phone calls are preferable, but if you wish to send an e-mail instead,

you can reach Senator Boxer at

 

senator

 

Please state that you are a constituent, that you are

thankful for Senator Boxer's cosponsorship of the ICCVAM

authorization bill (H.R. 4281), and that you would like to urge

her to remove the hold on the bill and allow it to pass.
