Worse than we thought?

Just a quick note here, cats and kittens - i hear that Sergeant's is still testing Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs... and that the results are far worse than we thought! Now, i don't have all the info yet (i've got some people on the inside feeding me the dirt!), but I hear that the active ingredient in this diabolical goo (called 'Gokilaht,' by the way - how cute. NOT!) kills fleas and ticks... wait for it... faster than the active ingredient in Frontline!!!

And add this to the fact that, unlike prescription-only Frontline, Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs is available in grocery stores and at the local big-box mega mart... and you've got a recipe for mass extinction!!! Where's the Sierra Club and the Nature Conservancy now, eh? Off saving the whales, probably. Gee... I don't think a 200-ton blue whale has anything to fear from a little tube of goo. BUT WE DO! Why won't they "save" us? Not cute enough? Not mammalian enough?

Well those so-called do-gooders can go jump in a lake! That's why we created the FTMLO!

Fight the good fight!

Peace out!

Still here...

Alright, brothers and sisters - this is where the rubber meets the road. Where the wheat is separated from the chaff. Where the clichés are separated from the platitudes. It's been a couple of months now since our little intifada started, and i know some of you are growing tired and maybe even a little bored. You may be eyeing other causes - Save Our Squirrels or Citizens United Against Cat Juggling, for instance - but let me remind you: we're just getting started!

Millions of our six- and eight-legged brethren still die every day, slaughtered by so-called flea and tick control products such as the new Sergeant's Gold Flea & Tick Squeeze-On for Dogs (i can barely bring myself to type the name - especially with these darn pincher-gloves!). So what are we going to do about it? We're going to say it loud and say it proud: we're the FTMLO and we're going to keep telling the truth about these products until the whole world sits up and takes notice!

Peace out.
