I thought they'd have to do some sort of animal testing but nothing this severe.

Oh my GOSH! I couldn't watch the whole thing. I'm not a temendous animal activist....but that's just not acceptable. How in the world do those people go to work everyday and face those puppies? How do they sleep? I'd have nightmares.

I separate farm animals from domestic animals. There is no reason to do this to dogs...what's the point? They aren't a food source.

I didn't watch more than a minute of it, could someone say the gist of what was shown?
From the responses it seems like they're making dogs into dog food, not letting them outside and keeping alot of them together.

Well I personally think, if that is the case, that that's not really any different than how farmers raise chickens for eating or pigs for meat.

I think that there is more of a response to dogs becuase more people feel closer to dogs becuase of the fact that most people have a dog over a cow, pig, chicken or another animal considerd a farm animal.

You're really not missing much Random because it basically looks like an insane asylum for cats and dogs. It's the most rediculous and heartless animal video I've seen to date and is actually sickening at some points.

i felt the same way when i saw it. It's truly awful.

Sometimes, I feel that PETA is way off base- they support animal saving terrorists- like the people who get indicted for bombing labs and such.

However, in times like these, I'm glad that they're around.

I'll not buy Iams when I get my puppy, which will be this coming Christmas.
