I've just noticed UNCAGED have updated their list of companies that make pet foods and test on animals: www.uncaged.co.uk/petfood.htm Brands to Boycott As mentioned above, the main culprits for cruel and unethical animal testing are the major international 'pet' food businesses. IAMS / Eukanuba owned by Procter & Gamble Hills Science Diet owned by Colgate Palmolive The majority of pet food brands available in the UK are produced by two animal testing companies - "Nestlé Purina/Friskies" and "Pedigree, Masterfoods (Mars Inc)." Nestlé Purina/Friskies: Alpo, Bonio, Felix, Go Cat, Gourmet, Omega Complete, Proplan, Spillers, Vital Balance, Winalot. Pedigree, Masterfoods (Mars Inc): Bounce, Cesar, Chappie, Frolic, James Wellbeloved, Katkins, Kitekat, Pal, Pedigree Chum, Royal Canin, Sheba, Techni-cal (US & Canada), Whiskas. Pedigree also manufacture Thomas rabbit food and Trill bird food. NB Techni-Cal (Europe) although not owned by Pedigree, Masterfoods (Mars Inc) is still a company to boycott as they have not signed up to the BUAV No Animal Testing Standard. So far, none of the supermarkets have pledged to produce their foods without unethical testing processes. All the other brands of food have so far failed to sign up to the 'No Animal Testing Pet Food Standard'. This means they cannot or will not ensure that their products do not contribute to harmful systematic testing processes. To encourage them to clean up their acts, ask them why they have not signed up to the 'No Animal Testing Pet Food Standard'. Please forward any responses to us at Uncaged. f&CK THEM ALL,

We tried to feed Soldier vegan cat biscuits, but he wasnt majorly impressed with them. He is currently eating Butchers Classic catfood, which looks and smells vile, but he loves it. When he eats biscuits, he eats "Ollie" biscuits mixed with vegan biscuits. I wish we could find some vegan stuff that he will like, but he is a fussy wotnot.
