RE: Call me cynical
I also had sent Iams an e-mail saying that I would not be feeding Iams products and would not be recommending Iams to my puppy buyers because of their association with HSUS. I then received that second e-mail saying they wouldn't support Petfest and HSUS next year.
I wanted to be sure they also received positive feedback when they did something right, so I responded thanking them for rethinking their position with HSUS and that I was back to feeding Iams again. I also stated that I was a bit concerned about the HSUS person on thier advisory board and was going to watch that carefully.
A few days later I got another response back from them thanking me for my response.
