USA OH Cincinnati  
 
Proctor & Gamble Shareholder Meeting protest:
Tuesday, October 14th 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Aronoff Center for the Arts, 650 Walnut Street,

Why: Iams continues to needlessly lock approx 700 dogs and cats in its Dayton, Ohio laboratory for
nutritional testing purposes and refuses to allow PETA to see the facility, and the company refuses to extend its dog and cat policy (which now forbids lethal and invasive tests thanks to PETA pressure) to other animals that have been used by the company in testing (such as mice, who suffered through an Iams-funded exp at Purdue university where they were hung by their tails so the muscles in their back legs would waste away only to be killed
later).

information.
