If you want your pet's death or illness to count for something good, please join the My Pet Counts! post card blitz.
 Anyone who has lost a pet due to contaminated pet food or had a pet become ill is encouraged to participate. Post cards may have a picture of your pet, or can be blank. You can purchase postcards or design your own. Each set of postcards represents one pet.
If you have multiple pets who have become sick or died, send multiple cards to each address but only one set of postcards per affected pet.
Participants are asked to send postcards only to ensure the mail is delivered with no security delay.
All postcards should be mailed on Saturday, April 28 to coincide with the national march being organized by Keep Our Pets Safe. http://www.pnv2.com/index.html
If all postcards are mailed on the same day, the impact will be all the greater when
received at the other end.
Organizes say that by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration still sticking to the "only 16 confirmed deaths" wording this disaster is being grossly minimized.
Postcards can be mailed to each of the addresses provided. The message should be very short, easy to read, no anger, profanity, or rudeness of any kind. Organizers say to let them see your grief, tug at their heartstrings, use your pet's name and use
the words "My Pet Counts!"
