Ban Chemicals Linked To Cancer In Dogs!

Lawn chemicals have been linked to cancer in dogs!

Add your name if you want to ban these toxic chemicals, and protect our best friends from dying a slow, painful death!

Your dog could be killed by lawn chemicals.

Here's the proof:

"A six-year study from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine linked lawn pesticides to canine malignant lymphoma (CML).

"Based on questionnaire results from dog owners, the study found "specifically, the use of professionally applied pesticides was associated with a significant 70% higher risk of CML"," reported one news source.

This means your local dog park might not be safe.

The city park might not be safe.

Grass around schools and other community buildings may not be safe.

Maybe even your own front lawn is killing your dog...

The same source went on to say: "A different study with similar methods discovered that herbicides also contribute to canine malignant lymphoma.

"The study found that herbicides containing 2,4-D doubled the risk of CML when dog owners used 2,4-D four or more times per year.

"A 2013 study concluded 2,4-D herbicides and other lawn chemicals make the risk of canine bladder cancer "significantly higher".

"Certain breeds, including Beagles, Scottish Terriers, Shetland Sheepdogs, West Highland White Terriers, and Wire Hair Fox Terriers are more susceptible due to a genetic predisposition to bladder cancer.

Do you or your loved ones live with any of those breeds? If so, I hope you will take action, before it's too late.

The same source added: "Exposure to the chemicals can come from ingestion, inhalation, or contact with skin, and the amount of time needed to restrict pets from a sprayed area has not been determined."

You might be shocked to see how common this is.

And don't assume that you're in the clear just because you don't spray anything on your own lawn...

"The study found "chemicals were detected in the urine of dogs in 14 of 25 households before lawn treatment, in 19 of 25 households after lawn treatment, and in 4 of 8 untreated households.

"Chemicals were commonly detected in grass residues from treated lawns, and from untreated lawns suggesting chemical drift from nearby treated areas," according to the same article.

No matter who you are, or where you live, this could be impacting you and your best friend.

But it gets worse... Indoor-only dogs are not safe either.

The same source continued: "another study found herbicide 2,4-D contaminants inside and throughout homes both prior to and after outdoor application.

"The study is evidence that pets absorb and track lawn chemicals, and lawn chemicals travel from their intended targets.

"The study concluded "removal of shoes at the door and the activity level of the children and pets were the most significant factors affecting residue levels indoors after application"."

The right thing to do couldn't be any more clear.

These chemicals need to be banned, before any more of our beloved animal friends die of cancer.

Senator Bernie Sanders has been a long-term advocate for animal rights, and has co-sponsored numerous pieces of legislation to protect endangered species, as well as to combat animal cruelty.

That's why we're asking him to lead a movement in Congress that would make it illegal to use these canine cancer causing chemicals anywhere in the USA.

Don't you believe it's your obligation as a human to ensure our animal friends are safe?

Then add your name to ask Senator Sanders to draft legislation that would ban all chemicals linked to canine cancer, before any more precious dogs suffer an early death!
