Hirakawa, Senior Vice President, Iams Research & DevelopmentIams Letter to PETA —May 10, 2002 (Adobe Acrobat Reader required)"After learning from you that Iams has as many as 30 extra facilities involved in its research, I believe it is imperative that we know what facilities the company deals with on a contract basis. It is very important that we obtain the USDA inspection reports for all of these facilities and share with you any concerns we have about them. This is not to say that USDA reports are the be-all and end-all. In fact, they only give a snapshot in time of how a facility is carrying out its minimal duties to animals under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). But, it is all we have to go on…as I pointed out in my October 9 letter to Larry Games, the Awa requires resting platforms or bedding only when the internal temperature dips below 50 degrees. Since it is unlikely that any lab allows such temperatures, they probably would not be likely to provide beds or platforms, a comfort that Iams provides to dogs at its facility. This is just one of the many things that nag us about the company using contracts labs. Will Iams, until it ends it contract work, insist on platforms and beds for the animals used in all of its studies?" —December 4, 2001, letter from PETA to Diane A. Hirakawa, Senior Vice President, Iams Research & Development. |
