My wife found this flea remedy on the web yesterday afternoon:
I love fried chicken (I’m a born and bred Texan). I grew up eating fried chicken from the Hartz restaurant at the corner of HWY 36 and I-10 in Sealy, TX. My absolute favorite fried chicken is from that store in lazy Sealy. I also love when I Google “hartz“. HartzVictims.org is the #2 result. [...]

On September 9, 2008, HartzVictims.org was featured on the homepage of The Consumerist. Special thanks go to Darryl for contacting The Consumerist with the story of his and his girlfriend’s recent bad experience (and large vet bill to boot) with a Hartz flea and tick spray.

As of today, there have been 2,100 stories submitted to HartzVictims.org since 2002. That’s pretty sad. My dream is to one day have the luxury of shutting this site down because there are no more Hartz victims. One day… Let’s keep fighting!!! My best, Josh
Last night, after receiving an email and saddening photos of Lacy’s MinPins, Frosty Paws and Gauge, who suffered severe skin damage from Hartz treatments, I posted a comment over at Cute Overload.

Erin posted a great call to action on PETA’s forum. Go read it if you’d like to help in getting Cute Overload to stop serving Hartz ads.
Cute Overload (CO) is serving Hartz ads. I find it completely appalling and asinine that a popular, animal and pet-oriented website would knowingly promote a company that sells products that kill pets. Alert reader and former CO visitor, Erin, sent me an email over the weekend to inform me of these ads. Erin and I [...]
