mypetspainrelief.com ANIMAL CRUELTY!

I can stomach the head on commercials, the active on commercials, homeopathic drops for ear infections, etc. But I just saw a commercial for a homeopathic spray for pet pain relief.

Animal neglect is animal cruelty. Pets are suffering while this company profits. It just drives me insane to know the number of people who will purchase this product instead of take their pet to the vet for real treatment. By the time they discover (in the unlikely event they actually do) that the product is worthless, their pet will have already lived out the remainder of their life in agony instead of comfort. Perhaps as in airbourne, they may one day get their money back, but no amount of money can repair the damage done.

What can I do except wish them bad juju. Homeopathy is not just harmless water or sugar pills, it is a truly harmful delusion and conduit for scamming the most vulnerable.

I see someone already beat me too it. I just don't understand why organizations like the ASPCA aren't campaigning against crap like this.

Is this what you're talking about?

Oops, Russ Dill beat me to it!

Animal welfare organisations are often hotbeds of woo. I wouldn't be surprised to find them campaigning for better availability of this stuff!
