Lake Mary, FL --- Louise’s Pet Connection co-owner Patty Dillingham insists 
on the very best when it comes to serving her customers and—especially—their 
animal companions. That’s why she has decided to stop selling Iams products 
until the pet-food company stops conducting cruel, sometimes deadly, 
"nutritional" tests on dogs and cats. Dillingham’s Lake Mary shop is the latest business 
to join PETA’s international campaign against Iams, a subsidiary of Procter & 
Gamble. The "Iams Out!" Campaign was launched last summer following an exposé 
of abhorrent conditions inside the company’s contract laboratories.

“I personally cannot get overly worked up about the deprivation of human 
rights in a world where non-humans have no rights at all. Until animals and nature 
have rights, none of us have any rights at all because without animals, 
ecosystems and nature's diversity, rights are meaningless. Humans are a group that 
was never very successful to begin with. Overly territorial, obsessed with 
trivialities, violent, petty, and completely lacking in empathy for other 
species. The world would be a much nicer place without us." Captain Paul Watson
