,[Caspian-newsletter-l] Lawsuit against Merck and HomeAgain over pet chip cancer!

Subject: [Caspian-newsletter-l] Lawsuit against Merck and HomeAgain over pet chip cancer!> Dear CASPIAN Members and Supporters,>> I have big news! A lawsuit has been filed against pharmaceutical giant> Merck & Co. and implant maker Digital Angel over a cancerous tumor that> formed around a HomeAgain pet ID microchip. The victim was a cat named> Bulkin, who miraculously survived the ordeal after surgery,> chemotherapy, and radiation.>> We are breaking the news today on our brand new www.ChipMeNot.com> website, featuring Bulkin's story, along with a copy of the lawsuit. Our> press release, which has already gone out to thousands of media outlets> and personal press contacts, is posted below, and at> http://www.chipmenot.org/mercksued.htm.>> The Boston Globe has already picked up

our story:> http://www.boston.com/community/pets/articles/2010/10/13/suit_alleges_tracking_chip_caused_cancer_in_cat/>> As has Bruce Sterling of Wired:> http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2010/10/arphid-watch-rfid-implant-lawsuit-for-a-cat/>> Wise, the attorney who filed the suit, will be a guest on my> radio show tomorrow (Thursday 10/14) at 5:00 PM Eastern to discuss the> case. (See: www.Albrecht.com for details on how to stream the> show live online, or catch the archives afterwards.)>> Our new website, ChipMeNot.com, is an adverse reaction registry where> pet owners can report harm caused by implanted microchips. It features> Bulkin's story and the stories of other other cats, dogs, mice, rats,> and small animals that have

been injured -- and even killed -- by> implanted chips.>> Our inspiration for the website came from Seamus and y, the two> brave dogs that died from microchip-induced tumors earlier this year,> Charlie Brown, the adorable chihuahua who bled to death in his owners'> arms last year, and Leon the bulldog whose owner first alerted us to the> cancer problem. We pay tribute to their memory through this new website,> and pray that by telling their stories we can help protect other pets> from their fate.>> As you can imagine, it has taken months of hard work to put the website> together. I want to thank our unflappable graduate intern Lidiya> Prorochuk, tenacious pet owners Gillis and Hawkins, our> steadfast volunteer Wiegand, our fountain of knowledge Jeanne, and> our cheerful webmaster Robin Abbate for a job extraordinarily well

done.>> I also want to thank each of you -- the CASPIAN members, supporters, and> radio show listeners who regularly send prayers, encouragement, and> financial support to keep us going. You guys are what makes it possible> for us to work on important issues like this.>> In freedom,> Albrecht, Ed.D.
