Pet Flea Care Products are dangerous & even deadly~! Manufacturers are guilty!
Hartz and Sergeants may be different companies but they both apply since both sell over the counter products to consumers for their pets and both use toxic ingredients with abandon, since it is cheaper for them to deal with a few thousand deaths a year than to cut into their profits over the millions they sell!
Congress regulates the agencies that determine whether these products are to be allowed to be put on the shelves of markets and sold the the general public. These companies stack the deck when doing their ‘testing’ of these products in order to get approval to sell them. They underplay their roles and have placed warnings on their products that dont convince most pet owners that the products arent safe.
Instead the warnings serve as a disclaimer to basically use at your own risk on the pets you own.
The regulations arent strict enough. The general public assumes that if the product is for public sale that it must be safe to use. Even with the tiny worded labelling on back of these products, the main label shows a happy pet that is free of fleas because you choose to use their product.
You as the pet owner, consumer, are not aware of how dangerous this stuff really is.You are not intentionally poisoning your pet, you are trying to get rid of the fleas on your pet!
Unfortunately most pet owners dont know this product is going to do the horrible stuff it does UNTIL your own pet is affected. Once you have put it on the pet, or its bedding and the reaction begins, it is too late.
Your pet goes into convulsions, seizures and dies. OR you get to the VET and it costs an average of $500-750 to save your pet and if you can not afford it, you either have to euthanize your pet or watch it die slowly. You might gamble and let it ride it out, and the pet survives, but has permanent neurological damage. Some recover, but most need VET care in order to save them.
Some even with VET care die anyway. The emotional effects of knowing you put the product on the pet to initiate the process of their illness, leaves permanent guilt and pain to the owner as well. Still most victimized owners do blame themselves for not being aware that the very products they purchased that were designed to deal with the problems of flea infestations are in fact dangerous and should not be available for public sale in this this country or anywhere.
Manufacturers are fully aware of the dangers of their products, but they dont care as long as they can get away with it.Their concern is any new regulations that might cut into their profit margins should Congress pay attention to pet owner complaints and change regulations on public sales of their toxic products.
Due to their own corporate greed, they cleverly devise ways and disclaimers, that throw any blame for what they term ‘misuse of the product’ , back onto Joe Q Public Pet Owner and so far they have gotten away with it.
They argue their case effectively and leave many pet owners in the wake of the destruction caused by them. for using the cheap lethal ingredients that they use in these products.
Non pet owners along with lucky pet owners are not always sympathetic either, where you will hear things like, ‘well then you shouldnt own a pet, if you cant afford them’ and again the blame is placed back on the unwitting pet owner who bought the Hartz or the Sargents or the Bansect etc. and used their toxic products..
Since they each use lethal neurotoxins to get rid of fleas in their products, they are equally guilty, but actually use each other to remain guilt free! They each put the blame back on the public - the pet owner for using their products which are more a ‘name your own poison’ thing since they are each dangerous.
To use these trusted named pet care products, you would be just as ’safe’ to use bug spray for hornets as you would be to use flea drops for cat / or dogs!!
Its that dangerous, but many who have not witnessed first hand what this does when a pet is reacting and made ill or dies, are not interested or sympathetic and so these manufacturers are still getting away with it~!!
Poisonous pet products must be banned and recalled, not resold to discount stores and still passed off as safe to the public where then even more pets are harmed by them.
Manufacturers should be made to pay for all vet bills and in cases where pets have died as a result, should pay punitive damages to the pet owners. They should also be required to pay for any after care needed to animals who survived their poisons, since many suffer permanent damage as a result.
Joe Q Public Pet Owners have suffered enough, just with knowing they were the ones who shot without knowing the gun was loaded…For pet owner victims it was an accident, but for the manufacturers it is deliberate which in some cases could be considered murder by some.

Get Promotional Art Services from Ave Hurley ~!
I work online continually and have been doing Art Promotionals and Advertising, for over 3 years selling my own artworks online.
When I was approached for promotional services, the cheapest promoter I found online was $395 for just an annual ad listing and some tag words and then Dunne & Bradstreet has a promo pack for $895 a year for little more in actual tangible services.
When I talked with their sales rep and he asked what I am doing in the ways of promoting my art online, he was astounded and told me that I should be working for them!!
He said that I actually do more in art promotions than they do~!!
So I decided that since I do it for myself and have succeeded in self promotion and now with all that I learned, I am willing to do it now for other artists,who need help in getting better known online.
Find more photos like this on Ave Hurley Illustrations Featured Artist Network
I have been helping other artists on the road to notoriety and success by personally promoting and creating advertisements online for them as well as tagging them , blogging them and entering them into cross promotions successfully.
The promotions I do are listed in many major online venues including, Squidoo, Twitter,Facebook,Live,StumbleUpon,MySpace,Deli-c-ious, Netlog,Eblogger,Wordpress, Search Engine submission, We2NK , Local.com,Craigslist and more.
I help with editing, tagging and introducing your art online with my personal endorsement, as I have a good online reputation with 100% positive online customer satisfaction.
See what others say about me~To receive my services Just click this Link : Check it out & Join Here
I am an artist first and built my site customized for art promotions and sales & have free resources and tools for any artists to self promote their work, but for those who need help in promotions or need an editor, it normally costs $895 a year from places like Dunn & Bradstreet [ to which I am also a registered member} to receive similar services
I can provide my services to you for only $5 to start for the first month & only $7.50 per month there after for as long as you want ~ Even when my service prices go up in the future, you will continue to receive services at this agreed price~!!
No catchs, no crazy contracts and doubletalk~ Fully refundable if not satisfied ~!
I am just an artist like you but am helping other artists online to get ahead~!
There is so much talent out there and so many artists deserve more recognition and exposure online but simply do not know how or who to trust online and many like I was dont know where to get started.
I have done my research and homework on this and now am prepared and able to help promote any artist who needs help, but since it is very time consuming - at least 10 hours a month, to do YOUR personalized service and all I am asking is this very nominal amount, to simply help offset some of my internet time and costs.
I just happen to know alot more about online marketing than most artists and have more computer skills focused on art promotions than most artists you may know. I have now been helping many other artists to be able to get established online and I can personally help you, even with tech support and am an email away, as well as phone call 602-539-4053 , when you need to talk about your online art needs~!
Subscribing to my services is making me your promotional agent [in a limited capacity according to your permission] to act on your behalf, to help promote your art and to get you known online and to direct traffic to your art on any sites you belong to, for as long as you want ~!
I will even make permalink adsites for you in search engines that will be easily found in major search engines to remain, even if you cancel my services at any time you want to.
Thankyou and best of success to you in selling your art online~!

Free Help to Artists Selling Online ~ From an Artist to Artists~!
Repatoo - you know what they say - google Look me up by username : " Ave " Establishing a good online reputation is vital in establishing any art business online.You earn your reputation through positive reactions of customers you have sold to online~ Check my 100% Satisfied Customers Ratings and See what some of my customers from various sites have to say about me, my artwork and my services provided to them~!
Now I am looking to help other artists who are trying to learn their way around the internet and sell their artwork as well.What's in it for me? Cross Promotion~!!!
Viewers want a variety of art to look at and will pick out what they want~ So I don't see other artists as competitors, rather as collegues and worthy of respect and promotion to perpective art collectors and buyers. I envision my websit growing into an interactive Art Hub for online art related activities, by showing and selling "G" rated family friendly artworks. Unlike most art networks, I do not allow nudity or porn or violence or demonic arts~! I personally evaluate and approve every work of art displayed on my site, since after all, my good name is on the site endorsing these artists!
You will find some of the most amazing artworks online by artists such as Murphy Art Elliott, Bob Bello, Bill Wright, Kevin Heaney and many more fantastic highly talented artists~! I am an landscape and seascape artists. I do them very well. I do however know my limitations~ I don't do portraits or outer space fantasy paintings BUT I know artists that do~!! That's what its all about on my site~ to bring variety, talent and hope to both artists and consumers~!
I am sharing this resource here making it available to ALL artists who wish to sell and promote their art online without any additional costs. Lets face it, most of us, artists have limited computer skills and less promotional skills~ Most consumers too would rather buy without added fees~
Anyway after compiling my own art research and testing the market with my own art, I have sold over 300 works of art in the last 2 years online in the places I am sharing here.
I did join many of the POD sites [like Fine Art America. ArtWanted, Imagekind,ESBQ and more~} where I had to pay an annual fees & sellers fees and found they didn't really increase my sales enough to cover the costs of their memberships~ I sold more on Ebay and Plunderhere than on the POD Sites~!
So, as mentioned, I also sold alot on Ebay for the last couple of years, but I was not satisfied overall with the results, ~my art often being sold on the minimum bids, as there simply is an over saturation on art on Ebay in that just to get a few views may be all you get and Ebay charges fees whether you sell or not.
I found the other auctions sites listed below that things sold slower but they sold and they didnt charge listing fees which makes it a win win situation in that you only have to pay a small sellers fee if your item is sold and if not, you can automatically relist them til they do sell~ That saves alot of time and effort along the way to simply hit a relist button~!!
Then I found some little shops that sell and are affordable in that you only pay pennies to list an item for up to 3 months at a time like at Etsy! Still without promotion, getting people to your art is alot of work in itself and people will not simply find you if you dont promote!
You could post pics on every social site on the net working 20 hours a day and not get a sale as a result. You need to promote to an audience that is looking to buy art or suggested to see your art and may result in a sale. Here is my list of places to show, promote and sell your art.
Promoters charge alot of money, because there is work involved, but here even the least computer saavy artist can successfully list, promote and sell their art more effectively Best of Luck~ AveHurley

DO YOU Want to find out how you can show and sell your art all over the internet, without costing you any money?
Join my Supergroups and use the links to connect you all over the web!
I want to introduce you to my new :SuperGroups directory that will help you show, promote and sell your art online~!!! No fees involved~ no gimmicks, just focus on your art and use SuperGroups to portal you into places online where you can advertise, show and sell your art all over the web~
This resource is FREE and because my site is a site I made for selling my art and while doing so, I have developed it into a network by an artist for artists and believe that you will be successful there, unlike any other ning site, my site is interconnected to many sites for cross promotions on art alone~!!
Typical Professional Advertising online can be way out of reach for most artists as there are many agencies out there all wanting your money before doing anything for you and then even with paying them there is no guarantee it will yield any sales.They may have the programs to hook you up to many places but they charge alot of money and have no guarantees~ I have been learning how to do it myself and am now sharing what I have learned with any other artists needing help~!
There are ways to cross promote, gain internet traffic and meet possible buyers as well as there are ways to direct traffic to your shops and auctions, partially by blogging but also by knowing where to post ads and blogs for maximum exposure and results...
I am showing other artists how to show and sell more effectively online.My website is set up with many resources and organized in ways you wont find on any other ning~!
Its new and innovative and has things you can do there instead of just posting a pic and waiting for a response~!! You can take your pictures all over the web through my site and it will take your time but not your money as the services are FREE~
While I am not an ad agency or commercial promotions company, I have been finding my way around the internet and have learned alot over the last few years, specific to showing and selling my art online and I have developed my website to include alot of hidden resources that will help any artist at no matter what computer skill level to be able to advertise and sell their art without having to pay for it as so many sites charge for these services and yet dont guaranty any sales..
My Featured Artists Network is interactive and links to many sites that instead of spinning your wheels by continually posting pics and looking for comments or paying ad agencies or other galleries, you can actually advertise your art to the world community and reach those seeking to buy art and show them what you got~
Join my group today as it is emerging into what is sure to become the 'MySpace for Arts" on the world wide web as it is growing fast, with alot of internet traffic leading to places that will get results~!
Its an open site and you will find Squidooportals and more to many places that will help you in selling your art online without having to pay fees.
Most resources are manual - in that you can customize them to your needs.You do not have to be a computer expert to navigate my site or use its resources. I am there too to help you along the way.
While Ave Hurley Illustrations' Featured Artists Network is geared to promoting artists who want more exposure and sales, it is also social and you can learn more there without all the hype and come ons that other sites have. You can learn the ins and outs of effectively selling online~
You dont have to pay to sell on my site and you can learn how to list on sites such as:
ArtWanted
Imagekind,
FineArtsAmerica
IT IS ALSO NOW ON my auction sites like:
Plunderhere
Ebid
Webidz and more that allow you to relist free to sell your art without paying any fees for items that dont sell and only a small % fee on sold items~
There are stores online that allow you to sell your art and you will receive royalties $$ and never have to pay out of pocket for anything~
I also randomly endorse and advertise my members artworks all over the web~ I do this because as I want to sell my art, others want to sell theirs and we can all cross promote and reach a wider audience~ Buyers will buy what they want and want variety of choices.. Providing those choices helps all of us~!!
Best of Success to us all~!

New Squidoo lenses I made
My Squidoo lens is made for my member artists in my network. This lens features 3 artists who excel in southwestern style artworks and I found their work impressive and hope you do too.
There are now over 2100 pictures on Ave Hurley Illustrations - Featured Artists Network and along with my own work which I hope you will visit and enjoy, I take pleasure in showing and promoting my fellow artists and think that when you need to take a moment's break online, that it can be a great stress reliever just stopping by my network and viewing some art from around the world~ Some that are from emerging artists that you can actually contact directly and talk about their art and how it makes you feel.
You can also find artists there that along with myself, take on commissioned jobs at prices that will surprise you~ Whether you want a pencil portrait by Murphy Elliott or a mural by Preston Shuttlesworth or myself, there are many things to see.
I do my own custom printing of my artworks and you can benefit by being able to buy original prints that I make, hand sign and send a Certificate of Authenticity along with and I have to admit, I keep these prints in very small circulation, some have yet to be printed for the first time ever and none will be printed passed 25 copies ever~ I want to keep it fresh and rare.
Have a great week and know that you are welcome any time at my network and you dont have to be an artist to belong.
:) Ave

Pets in Danger~ Flea Drops Kill Cats~
With flea season upon us we all look for easy ways to help our pets be free of the pests that can in turn infest our homes and cause us humans to also be bitten and contract illnesses as a result.
One of the most popular ways to treat fleas on our pets is with Flea Drops~ What I didn't know about this horrible treatment was that thousands of cats and dogs are permanently injured and many die from even a single drop of this terrible treatment which should be banned~
Manufacturers do put on small benign disclaimers that it can be harmful if swallowed of absorbed through the skin as it is potentially lethal to humans as well. They contend that only 1:10,000 are affected, however the more I research it now after my own horrible experience with it nearly killing my pet cat, that those numbers are misleading and meaningless to all those who have faced the devastation that these drops cause.
My puppies finally became old enough to go outdoors, so naturally began to pick up fleas and brought some into the house where my small cat caught them.She has never been outdoors on her own, so these pests really were causing her discomfort and constant itching from the bites.
She had a flea collar [also a debatable form of treatment as it causes hair loss and loss of luster in an animals coat, since the collar contains poisons that are absorbed through the fur into the skin and glandular system] so after treating the puppies with 'flea drops' I decided to put 2 drops on the back of my cat's neck, thinking it would help her~
3 hours later, she was foaming at the mouth, disoriented, seizing and convulsing as though she had rabies or something. I then thought of the 2 drops I had put on her and looked up online [wish I had done that first before ever applying those drops]
to find out that 1000's of cats & puppies are actually poisoned by these drops and it KILLS THEM~!
She was dying and writhing in pain, looking at me for help and I felt horrible that I was the cause of her discomfort because of those damn drops~! I tried to catch her and wash off the spot where I had applied them, but she was starting to lose consciousness and had very labored breathing as she stared at me in terror, mouth foaming and tremoring all over.
Naturally stuff like this occurs after business hours so as I called my vet was unavailable, so I called other vets, all closed, but one vet called back saying he had a Vet Tech going to check on animals at his hospital at 10pm [about an hour from the call] and that we could go to his animal hospital and wait for her, so we did.
Desperately, we caged our cat and went to the animal hospital, fearing she would die before help arrived.Finally the Vet Tech was there and began immediate treatment which included bathing the cat with Dawn Dish Detergent to break down the oil that help the poisons on the cats fur~
Ialso brought the empty tube of Flea Drops, in case the doctor needed them to help in diagnosis and treatment. I didn't bother to ask for it back, not knowing the manufacturer would have paid for the vet bill !! Now I can't make any claim for reimbursements ~
.jpg)
Next my cat was given IV therapy to prevent dehydration and to allow the administration of drugs needed to counteract the poison and to make her more comfortable. The next 48 hours would reveal whether or not she could be saved.
Hesitantly I called the animal hospital the next afternoon, fearing the worst, but they said she was still alive and beginning to respond to treatment, thank God. I was relieved.
I had purchased those Flea Drops at a dollar discount store up in BigFlats NY, 3 weeks earlier it is a known brand, just older looking printing as I have seen similar ones in Walmart. It just looked like ones that would be sold in Canada or Mexico as it had other languages on it but the writing was so small that even with my glasses I couldn't read it. I have checked the local stores and see they do have new labeling that at least has a red warning to not give to cats, but how many pet owners will realize that it can do the type of devastation it does and go ahead and use it anyway?
I have now read online many horror stories of pet owners accidentally poisoning their pets while tried to rid them of fleas~
http://www.bing.com/search?q=flea+poison+cats&form=IE8SRC&src=IE-SearchBox
My son called the Manufacturer after seeing how many other people this has been happening to. The manufacturer said they were sorry it happened but that it happens only to 1:10,000 but that they would be willing to pay the vet bill since they have had similar cases and took care of those as some animals have allergic reactions and some have died. The only thing they needed was the empty tube so they could track down which supplier made it for them.I called the vet to try to get the tube back, but it had already been disposed of!
Next day I called the vet and they said the cat although weak and needing continuing medication could come home. I was so relieved. The problem was that the original estimate was $120 but since she was so severely affected by the poison, the additional treatment brought the 2 day bill up to $485.00 payable on demand or the cat would be held with additional boarding costs til she was totally paid for.
We brought down $220 cash which they accepted and then told us that we had til 5pm to get the rest. I went back to the bank to withdraw the rest, which on a fixed income of only $700 a month and $500 a month rent plus utilities that this emergency has caused yet another emergency ~ a dominoe effect as now I dont have my rent nor can I get my car repaired & inspected and I wont have my cable bill money~!
We arrived at 5:15, they were closed so we waited til next morning and an additional $9 was added for overnite boarding~so if I waited til my next check, the bill would have been an additional $279 on top of the current bill, so I had to use my rent money to pay the vet~!
My summer is shot~ Of course I am delighted my cat has survived and recovering, but now I am faced with the financial aftermath that is equally devastating to my home.
Essex House Cottage, is just a sample of one of my artworks and I will give signed prints of any of my artworks on my site: http://avehurleyillustrations.ning.com for any donations to help offset these vet bill costs~! No gimmick, I am desperate this month to raise funds but have all the materials I need to provide any kind help with a gift of equal or greater value than the donation, in appreciation for any help I can get~!My son called the manufacturer who said to get the vat numbers [as they have this produced overseas from different factories in different countries, just like the bad dog food last year from China that killed many pets, these tubes of poison can be made wrong in other countries too! ] and info from the store we bought it at but they are 50 miles away and my car needs brakes so I cant go there to get it so that virtually means I can not apply for any medical reimbursement.
I have been building an artsite business the last few months and have printing equipment and numerous paintings in print form to sell, but I am only beginning and have not had any substantial sales or orders yet.
I just placed a fundraiser on the top of my site offering to give away my art prints for any donations, but whether that brings help or not I haven't a clue and only had one response so far from a friend who sent me $20 towards the vet bill. I am so grateful for that friend and she told me that I should tell everyone I can about this terrible poison that kills so many pets annually. I agree and that is what I am doing now, trying to warn others so it doesnt happen to them~!
http://avehurleyillustrations.ning.com/page/accidental-cat-poisoning
See this video done by a vet that explains about how this poison affects and kills animals, affecting their central nervous systems and causing excruciating pain and death~!
Cats: Permethrin Poisoning In Cats
http://www.videojug.com/film/permethrin-poisoning-in-cats
This drug has many other names so you might not see it listed on your flea drops but be assured that some derivitive of it is hidden in the ingredients.
Learn the warning signs in any flea remedy you choose to use. hair loss, lack of luster and lythargy can be signs of a mild allergic reaction to both flea drops and flea collars.
Some animals actually develop what looks like a flesh eating disease and lose fur and get horrible sores and raw skin!~
So what is the alternative in flea treatments? Obviously it is to go 'natural' seeking out manufacturers that actually care to treat your pet without poisons~!
http://www.healthyfoodforpets.com/FleaFree.html#Flea Free Food Supplement
I found this site [but there are more] and as soon as I have the money to do so will buy through them. Their products make a lot more sense then pesticides~!
.jpg)
I should have known better because while rubbing those drops on the cat, my own fingertips became numb and tingly and I got a wierd taste in my mouth. I did wash my hands with dish detergent afterwards. Later in the evening after the cat was in the hospital I noticed I was sick to my stomach and wonder how much was stress and what if that trace I absorbed could have contributed to it. I will never know, nor ever use flea drops again to find out~
So before any treatment for you animal, do the research, you may save your pet's life and save yourself from a financial breakdown~!

Flea Drops Kill Cats~! Art Fundraiser for lucky survivor~
I NEED TO HAVE A FUNDRAISER SO YOU CAN OBTAIN ANY ART OR SERVICES
FOR ANY DONATION, YOU WILL RECEIVE GIFTS THAT WILL EXCEED THE VALUE
OF YOUR DONATION~!! SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS & THANKYOU~!
Accidental Cat Poisoning Its flea and tick season. My dogs
already got fleas and brought them into the house. My cat , who
never goes out, caught the fleas and was itching terribly to get
them off and spreading them as she went from room to room. I found
her on top of my bed and saw 3-4 fleas hop off so I caught and
killed them immediately.
Then I went to get the dog's flea drop medication and took a small
amount of drops and put them on my cats neck, thinking I was
helping her to get rid of the fleas.
3 hours later she was writhing in pain seizing and convulsing,
foaming at the mouth!I went to pick her up, she bolted and ran into
things crashing her body all over the house and ran into the
bathroom. My son came and caught her and we placed her into a cage
and began calling vets in our area.
Our regular vet was out of town and it was night. One vet called
back and arranged for his tech to meet us at his office and she
began the treatment to try to and save my poor little cat. She is
still going to remain in the hospital til she recovers enough to
come home.
I am not a wealthy person. I live on disability in my small rented
farm house. I work on line, mostly for free helping others since I
am disabled and can not work a regular job.
I have been focusing on my art and trying to establish myself on
the internet with art sales for the last two years now. I began my
business with no money so every cent I have made to date has gone
back into art and online endeavours - paying for shops, auctions,
internet fees and computer repairs as well as art supplies and
printing supplies and needed equipment for my business to grow.
I live very modestly at this point in time since I have no sponsors
or investors in my art business presently.
If any of you who read this are sympathetic to cats as pets and can
afford to assist me in paying my for the emergency care my cat is
undergoing I am going to make a special postcard sale that will go
to funding my cats treatment since this will be very expensive and
she will need follow up care.
Also any donations will be appreciated and used for that as
well.
I am joining with other organizations in making others aware of the
dangers of flea drops on cats.
To think I only used 2 drops and it was devastating to her!
Thankyou~! Ave
