"Antifreeze Kills" Petition

Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is highly toxic and has a taste that is attractive to some animals. As well as accidental poisonings, it has sometimes been used deliberately to poison animals including domestic pets. There are safe alternatives that are hard to get hold of or it would be possible to add a substance to make it unattractive to animals and children.

Please visit the online petition (UK and ex-pats only) to make antifreeze safe.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Enforce that the manufactures of engine coolant and antifreeze to contain a bittering agent, denatonium benzoate, to render the coolant and antifreeze unpalatable to reduce the number of poisonings in children and animals.

Feel free to copy this post to spread the word to other animal lovers and parents- it would be a good use of social networking.
