DESCRIPTION

T elevision has come a long way when it comes to its portrayal of gay men and women, LGBT themes and the entire spectrum of orientation. In the past, gay characters, like many minority characters, were portrayed as the comic relief. Billy Crystal's legendary performance in the edgy series Soap was more or less played for laughs. The same is true of early forays into gay themes. "Jack Tripper" wasn't gay in Three's Company, but his pretense was also comical. After those early efforts, television seemingly turned to more realistic portrayals, or at least, common ones, in the form often of television movies about coming out, the struggles of identity and acceptance. While more serious, these too tended to continue the pattern of gays and lesbians as the "other."

a horrifying thought. You and millions of other pet lovers

may be putting your furry friends in danger...and don’t even know it.

Pet expert Alisha Lee looks at the alarming research and shakes her head. “It’s ironic. Our dogs and cats look to us to keep them safe and healthy. But in reality, we could be putting them in harm’s way,” she says.

“We all know how bad flea and tick bites can be. Once these horrible little creatures get the bite on your pet, it’s a real nightmare.”

DEADLY ITCHING AND SCRATCHING

“They start itching and scratching like crazy. Their skin becomes red and irritated and they begin gnawing furiously, trying to tear out patches of their own fur. And then it gets worse. The fleas and ticks begin multiply-ing. Before you know it, you have a flea and tick infestation in your home and now you’re scratching and itching just as bad as your pet.”

“You’d do anything to stop this vicious cycle so you run down to your local pet shop and get a collar or spray to kill the fleas and ticks.”

THE BIG MISTAKEIt turns out that this could be the

worst thing you can do. Most people just assume that these products are safe because they are sold in so many stores.

“But the sad fact is, there is very little testing on these products and almost no government regulation. What’s worse, many of these products contain pesticides that are harmful to both you and your pet. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at the fine print and the long list of health warnings on these products.”

“Even if you apply the product as instructed, it can cause serious health consequences” cautions Alisha.

SHOCKER: VET MEDS ARE UNSAFE TOO

OK, so maybe you don’t use over-the-counter products. Surely,

the medication you get from your veterinarian is safe?

“Shockingly, the answer is a NO,” warns Alisha. “It turns out these products also contain strong pesticides that will kill fleas and ticks. But the awful truth is, they too can poison your pet.”

KIDS ARE VULNERABLE What’s more, kids, especially

toddlers, are also vulnerable for two reasons. “First, their nervous systems are still developing so the toxic chemicals can do greater and more lasting damage.”

“Second, children’s normal behavior brings them in close contact with their pets, and, therefore, to the poison applied to them.”

ALL NATURAL SOLUTION So what can you do? Well, it turns

out that Alisha is also General Manger of Wally’s Natural, a company whose mission it is to manufacture safe, natural products that are effective.

That dedication is reflected in their all-new Wally’s All Natural Flea & Tick Kit. It’s comprised of three great organic and all-natural products that kill fleas and ticks not only on your pet, but also where they lay their eggs in and around your home such as your carpet, fabric

and pet bedding.All of the products are manufac-

tured in a certified organic facility where Alisha and her team carefully oversee the production to ensure that each product is of the highest quality.

SAFE, SOOTHING AND ANIMAL CRUELTY-FREE

“What’s more, all are specially formulated with a safe, soothing blend of natural ingredients like clove, cinnamon, cedar, that won’t harm your pet, your family, or the environment.”

“Plus, they’ve been proven to kill fleas and ticks by an independent lab and are animal cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny approved). No animal was harmed in the testing of these prod-ucts so you can truly feel good about using them,” says Alisha..

YOUR PET’S NEW BEST FRIEND

“Our Pet Spray contains certified organic ingredients that have been tested and proven to work. Plus it comes with a convenient and easy-to-use sprayer.”

“Our Flea & Tick Shampoo keeps your pet clean and protected from fleas and ticks. It’s certified organic, and sports a rich, thick lather that’s soft and gen-tle on your furry friend, yet tough on

those nasty bugs. And you won’t be-lieve the difference in your pet’s skin and newly lustrous coat.”

“And finally, there’s our Flea & Tick Carpet Powder that gets deep into carpet fibers and pet bedding to break the flea and tick life cycle. It smells so good that we have customers that use it as a carpet deodorizer after the fleas and ticks are long gone.”

HEALTHY PETS. DELIGHTED OWNERS

“I’m glad we. got rid of our fleas without putting my pets or my family at risk,” says Scott H., Sacramento, CA.

“Since using your products, my dogs haven’t had a flea or tick problem in over 2 months. I’m telling all my friends and family about your products,” adds Matt. B, Beaverton, OR.

newspaper are entitled to a special discount offer on the entire kit.
