Ban the use and sale of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) - Keo’s Campaign

What the petition asks
Recently we went through the devastating and unexpected loss of our beautiful cat Keo. His diagnosis was ethylene glycol toxicity. Ethylene glycol is used in antifreeze- its sweet smell and taste is irresistible to cats but results in their bodies being shut down.
Ethylene glycol toxicity makes a cat appear as though drunk- sleepy, wobbly, inappetant. This is true of many toxicities, but more often than not a confirmed diagnosis is found when it’s too late.
Ethylene glycol is used all year round in car radiators- a small, unnoticed leak which attracts a cat is enough to be fatal. We are petitioning in our boy Keo’s honour to make sure this tragic situation never happens to another family.
