Burns Vs Science Plan??

[Booktigger]

JWB dont' actually test on animals - their parent company do, but statements have been issued to say that they have no plans to follow suit.

Hmm, I thought that too. When I was at the Supreme Cat Show a few years back, they promoted their food by saying they didn't test on animals, so I was surprised to hear that they now do. Thanks for putting it straight as Caleb has JWB to 'graze' on during the day.

Aren't JWB now owned by Pedigree Master Foods...they test on animals so that's enough for me not to buy their product...pity they sold out to a company like that. Still Burns don't test on animals and their pet food contains proper meat not derivatives.

It says of the pet food to avoid and JWB is one of them...

Have just looked at my pack and it says Crown Pet Foods, Yeovil, Somerset. Pedigree Masterfoods not mentioned. Also no 'Animal derivatives' in the ingredients list either!

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.

If JWB is so eager to stand by it's claims that they don't test on animals then why have they not signed up to the BUAV No Animal Testing Standard, Burns have. This means they cannot or will not ensure that their products do not contribute to harmful systematic testing processes. Click on the link, scroll down and read what Uncaged say..
