Pets Remembered by Gift

One shattered pet family, fed up with the continued snubbing of industry and government, decided enough was enough. Every single pet that has died or remains ill because of a pet food will be remembered; why these pets became sick and/or why they died will be remembered too.

If a pet food has ever sickened or killed a Pet of yours, a friends, or a family members…I urge you to read every word on this page and share it with all. We, every Pet Owner, have been given a powerful gift.


Five acres of land at Keystone Lake under the Oklahoma skies has been donated to all Pet Owners. Five acres in the very center of the United States given to us; a home to focus on the very center of the problem.


Pet Food has killed and sickened countless thousands of Pets over the past years.


They all mattered to someone,
They all matter in Vindication.

Vindication will Never Forget Them; Nor why They Died.



Yes, you read it correctly. Five acres of land at beautiful Keystone Lake in the heart of this country has been donated to pet owners! It is ours! No charge, no cost. Our gift to remember the pets!




Before you learn all the details of Vindication, a moment needs to be taken to remember why...

“One of the unspoken truths of American life is how deeply people grieve over animals who live and die with them, how real the emptiness is, how profound the silence is these creatures leave in their wake.”
From Dog Years by Mark Doty.

Losing your dog or cat because a pet food was contaminated is one of the worst experiences a pet owner can endure. You feel guilty. You feel taken advantage of, you feel lied to. You feel alone. The most unbelievable levels of anger and guilt churn in your gut. BECAUSE OF A PET FOOD...many have held their dear friend for the last time while a lethal drug is injected into their body to end their pain and end their life. BECAUSE OF A PET FOOD...countless others have suffered right along side their pet holding onto all hope that they recover. Watching them die is haunting. BECAUSE OF A PET FOOD...thousands more continue to nurse their bodies damaged by pet food day in and day out. It is the worst emotional roller coaster ride imaginable. The vet bills have maxed out your credit cards. Your pet-less friends look at you like you’ve gone off the deep end, the pet food company investigation will be futile, and the FDA inspector won’t even return your call.

It is one of the loneliest feelings on the planet.

It happened six times to one family. They have buried six pets because of pet food (2007 recall), four cats and two dogs.

Their story of Zippy, just one story of thousands, is shared below...

He was a stillborn baby kitten. His human mom puffed the first tiny breath into his lungs and massaged his heart; she felt its first beat.

Zippy was not a typical cat, more of a clumsy comedian. Seems he couldn’t make it across a carpeted floor without tumbling to the ground once or twice; a toe nail always tangled him up in carpeting. Day in and day out, the ceiling fan startled him. He was best friends with a Cockatiel; Zippy didn’t know birds and cats weren’t supposed to be friends. It is a family joke that Zippy wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box, but he was loved… so loved by his human family.

Zippy’s sister was one of the first that died; for two years, Zippy continued to search and cry for his poisoned sister. For two years Zippy became sicker and sicker from the ravages of melamine laced pet food. Damage was done. His human mom felt his heart’s first beat under her fingertip massage at birth, and she felt his heart’s last beat from poisoned pet food when she was forced to euthanize his lingering body.

Thousands and thousands of pet owners have walked in these same shoes. It changes you; forever.

From the 2007 melamine pet food recall alone, some estimates are as high as 300,000 U.S. and Canadian pets became sick, died, or are still fighting kidney disease. Countless thousands more pets have become sick from recalls or silent recalls of tainted pet food since.

No laws have changed, no lawsuits have been settled, none responsible have been jailed. No one has told us how many died or remains sick; no one tells us how many continue to become sick and/or die from new recalls. Today, with numerous silent recalls (pet foods being removed from store shelves without an official public recall) we barely even know the partial truth of pet food risks. Many pet foods continue to import inferior ingredients, continue to violate Federal Food Safety Laws, continue killing and sickening pets. Pet Owners have written letters to Congress, begged pet loving Celebrities, pleaded with Federal Officials for change. Time and time again we've been ignored.

One pet family decided enough was enough.

If the FDA, Congress, and irresponsible Pet Food Companies wanted to continue to turn a blind eye to the cold truth that hundreds of thousands of pets have become sick and/or died and continue to become sick and die because of a pet food, this family was going to make sure not one pet would ever be forgotten; nor why they died.

These compassionate and generous people understood that we needed to be unified on solid ground. They understood that no one has ever counted the dead and sick pets; the powerful want this information to be kept silent. As well, they understood that the numbers – the massive numbers of pets that pet food has destroyed – should be known to all. Each singular pet death or illness destroyed a family, yet each singular pet death or illness was dismissed by those responsible. Individually these crushed families were/are powerless to protect further pets. Vindication will gather the names, the thousands and thousands of pets sickened or killed by a pet food. Then, the serious reality will be undeniable to all concerned. Because of Vindication, the power will be given to the Pets.


Vindication.
Vindication: to liberate, to set free, to protect from attack and encroachment, defend.

Thousands of pathway stones –
Each with the name of a pet that has died or remains ill because of a pet food.

The thousands of Pets remembered in Vindication will become proof change is necessary.

By remembering each and every one of them, they will have a voice.
