Death of a Dream



The music is "DEATH OF A DREAM"


March 1998 - At Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, two boys aged 13 and 11 pulled a fire alarm and began shooting teachers and classmates as they left the school, killing four students and a teacher.

October 1997 - At Pearl High School in Pearl, Mississippi, a 16-year-old boy fatally stabbed his mother at home, then went to school and shot to death two students, including his former girlfriend.

What do these two shootings have in Common? Could it be that the "children" involved just went up a notch on the food chain? From animal killing to human killing.
It's not that far a jump.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph,
is that good men do nothing" Edmund Burke

Ex-Beatle's Wife Calls for Pet Fur Trade Ban

"True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it." ~ Milan Kundera (1929 - )

HERE IS THE RESPONSE TO THE LETTER WRITTEN TO THE PRESIDENT OF IAMS ABOUT ANIMAL ABUSE AT THE TESTING FACILITIES THEY USE.

Dear Melinda:

On behalf of Iams president, Jeffrey P. Ansell, thank you for sharing your heartfelt feelings and opinions with us. We value your feedback, and we appreciate the opportunity to update you on the events that inspired your message.

On March 25, we learned that nutritional studies being conducted for us at an independent facility in the U.S. may have violated our company's strict research policy. On March 26, we completed an unannounced visit of the facility to review procedures and ensure the well-being of dogs and cats at the site. Then on March 27, we made the decision to end all research activities with this facility.

We moved quickly following the visit to the research facility. Although the facility recently passed government inspections (USDA, FDA and the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care), it did not meet our high standards for dog and cat care. As Jeff Ansell has stated, "We believe our research policy represents industry-leading standards of care. These standards are high and they must be met."

We are working with the facility to relocate 19 metabolism study dogs to an Iams-owned facility where they will be well cared for and placed in our pet adoption program. In addition, we have launched a full and immediate review of all independent research facilities used by Iams for our pet nutrition studies.

We conduct and sponsor research designed to advance scientific understanding of how superior nutrition can enhance pet health and well-being. We only conduct research with dogs and cats that is equivalent to nutritional or medical studies acceptable on people. We make our decisions based on the well-being of the dogs and cats, and based on compliance with our research policy.

We are deeply committed to dog and cat well-being and our research policy reflects that.

Thank you again, Melinda, for contacting us with your feedback, and for giving us the opportunity to respond. We appreciate the influence you have among your peers, and we hope the news within this message will help restore your confidence in our commitment to the health and well-being of dogs and cats.

Sincerely,
Cindy Achor
Group Manager
Iams Consumer Care
