Birds, cows, dogs etc. killed by Purina

by Vegan Dogs
It is not just millions of blackbirds being killed with products developed
by Purina.
1. Avicides developed by Purina are being used by the USDA to
kill millions of blackbirds and other birds.
2. Purina has for years promoted the lie that dogs need animal flesh.
In reality, the Humane Society of the US (several thousand local humane societies) is now marketing a vegan organic dogfood called
Humane Choice to prevent animal flesh related diseases. Dogs
do best on vegan diet. Cats require a taurine supplement.
3. Purina like Nestle's water companies... markets many different
brands to obscure its role.
4. Purina before and after Nestle has monopolistic and unethical
tactics in driving out competitors.
5. Purina pricegouges.
6. Purina promotes lab animal brutality and markets Monkey Chow
to labs for imprisoned frugivorous primates for whom fresh fruit
is the bulk of the diet.
7. Purina shut down its magazine "Lab Animal" in which mouse sized guillotines were advertised for rapid killing of lab animals.
8. Purina in Sutherland Springs Texas had Mad Cow in its captive
cattle herds, but was able to cover up with USDA help the incident,
calling the disease meningitis.
9. Purina gives financial support to an animal rescue site,
Petfinder, and buys silence from the site.

Purina was divided. Some divisions remain in the US as Ralston
Purina. Others have been bought by Swiss owned Nestle.

I don't doubt any of these claims but it would be helpful if you had included references to back them up. I would be more than happy to 'share' this article but not without references.
