Welcome to the BH Warrior Kit.
This kit provides some tools you can use to join our mission to expose Hartz Mountain Corporation and Dr. Melinda Fernyhough for the lies they have fed the public.
If you are so inclined, we ask you to seek out places all over the internet where Hartz appears and use these tools to place comments and direct individuals to the information we have provided about this very dangerous public menace. This applies to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and the countless Hartz product reviews and victim’s stories found all over the internet.

THE BASICS
Here are your main tools for the mission:
- Tell Everyone You Know
Due to keeping our anonymity, Broken Hartz affiliates do not have this luxury, though we find ways to make loved ones aware.
Make sure everyone you care about knows what Hartz and others have been doing.
Tell them about us, HartzVictims.org, HartzKills.org, TinyTimmy.org and others.
- Report an Incident
If you have experienced a problem with a Hartz product, please report it.
Call Hartz
If your animal had a reaction, Hartz is required by law to report your incident to the EPA:
800-275-1414
Hartz may be nice to you on the phone or they may try to insist you did something wrong. We have heard accounts of both.
If the animal has died, Hartz may ask for the body in order for them to determine what went wrong. Our knowledge of this corporation leads us to believe any “study” performed by them will serve no purpose but deception.
If you wish to have an autopsy performed, consult your Veterinarian and get this taken care of privately. Also, make sure to get the autopsy notarized.
Hartz will most likely ask you to sign paperwork or make a verbal statement that you will not pursue legal action. They may also agree to pay your Vet bills in exchange for your silence.
National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC)
Call and report the same details you provided Hartz.
800-858-7378
Contact the distributor where you purchased this product.
Insist they log this complaint and ask them to stop selling Hartz products at their stores. They are legally responsible for the products they carry.
Report your incident to HartzVictims.org
Try to provide as much detail as possible and pictures of the animal, if you can.

Report your incident to us
Try to provide as much detail as possible and pictures of the animal.
Email us at brokenhartzpets@gmail.com.
We will make these into Victim Infographics and share them through various outlets. Adding faces to Hartz’ crimes will go far in bringing justice to the matter at hand.

Here is the BH Twitter theme:
Be on the lookout for Hartz spam on Twitter. Do a search for “hartz” and you’ll come upon crap like this:

This spam tweet links to an online store for Hartz Products. The misleading "chain collars for dogs" association is shamefully used as bait to gain more exposure.

Here is where you end up if you click the spam link referenced above. You'll notice, the misleading "chain collars for dog" text persists.
Report the above crap to Twitter whenever you see it.
Here a some standard BH tweets you can copy and paste into Twitter:

- Facebook
As an organization, BH can’t run around in true form like we do on Twitter so it’s up to you to spread the message.
Here are two cover photos you can use to help the mission:
We ask you to spread the message and direct people to our home on FB:
facebook.com/superbrokenhartzpets
If you are so inclined, you may copy and paste this comment version of our Mission Statement on the Hartz Facebook page
NOTE: We typically place sections like this in block quotes to make it easier to distinguish the beginning and end points of copy/paste offerings, but that causes formatting difficulties in Facebook.
Comment Starts Below
The Broken Hartz mission began in direct protest to the corrupt actions of Hartz Mountain Corporation. Members of Broken Hartz experienced an issue with one of your flea products in mid-January 2012.
Broken Hartz affiliates made a complaint to Rite Aid Corporation ( http://bit.ly/wqsUHP ), the distributor who sold them the Hartz product. Despite being provided numerous factual details from the EPA and other reputable sources regarding the unsafe nature of your products, Rite Aid Corporation dismissed their affiliates’ claims. During the course of this discussion, a document from your Resident Veterinarian, Dr. Melinda Fernyhough, was eventually submitted to a Broken Hartz affiliate.
This 6.5-page document (WORD Document: http://bit.ly/wMUrRu ) is filled with bold lies, including denials about the FDA-approved status of your competitor products ( http://bit.ly/xq9fGD ) as well as lies about the EPA’s statements regarding their Public Advisory published in March 2010 ( http://bit.ly/AmD8w2 ).
In response to this action, Broken Hartz affiliates produced a 35-page rebuttal, which was delivered to Hartz through Rite Aid Corporation. This document was broken up into the thirteen posts that make up the “Hartz Executive Summary Exposé” ( http://bit.ly/zw9WJp ), found on BrokenHartz.Wordpress.com.
To date, you have made no attempt to respond directly to Broken Hartz, though your intended course of action has been made quite clear.
You have engaged in a campaign to infringe on the Broken Hartz servicemark in numerous arenas in an attempt to silence Broken Hartz before their mission of public education spreads too far:
You have cybersquatted ( http://bit.ly/zWP5AU ) on (3) Broken Hartz domain names: BrokenHartz.com, BrokenHartz.org and BrokenHartz.net.
You attempted to kick BH off Twitter, with a false-infringement claim. When presented with Broken Hartz’ response to these claims, Twitter dropped the matter ( http://bit.ly/zjj70g ).
You attempted to keep Broken Hartz from its rightful Facebook page ( http://bit.ly/xVrqh0 ). BH filed an infringement claim with Facebook and they sided with Broken Hartz ( http://bit.ly/GzQwnh ).
You not only squatted on Pinterest.com/BrokenHartzPets ( http://bit.ly/yfrZKQ ), you brazenly posted the Hartz Mountain Corporation trademark on the page, in a clear act of infringement on the Broken Hartz servicemark. Immediately following BH’s exposure of this act, you scrambled to remove your trademark from the offending page, but Broken Hartz had all necessary documentation and Pinterest sided with them ( http://bit.ly/GC2EV3 ).
During the course of the BH mission, Hartz Mountain Corporation has committed additional fraudulent acts in order to try and offset the damage caused by their organization:
5W Public Relations Scandal
Golin Harris International and 5W Public Relations Scandal
You violated FIFRA by lying on your website

- Victim Infographics
Here are infographics of Hartz Victims. These can be shared a multitude of ways.
Additionally, here are infographics that breakdown what the numbers from the EPA Public Advisory published in March 2010 reveal:
If you are a Hartz Victim, email details of your case and pictures of the animal to brokenhartzpets@gmail.com.
We will make these into additional Victim Infographics in order to allow others to bear witness to Hartz’ atrocities.

Here is a comment you can leave on other YouTube videos. YouTube doesn’t allow links in comments, so we’ve choreographed this as best as possible:
PUBLIC SAFETY MESSAGE: Hartz Mountain Corporation (@HartzPets on Twitter) has been exposed for lies it has fed the public in order to keep negligently killing animals. Their response has been to try & censor the truth.
They’re guilty of cybersquatting, filed false infringement claims on Twitter & created false accounts on Facebook & Pinterest to try & silence this message, but failed.
The truth is getting out. The anonymous cats have spoken. Please view “We Iz Anonymous Cats” @BrokenHartzPets
You can also try posting comments on Hartz’ videos. You’ll probably get blocked, as we have, but it’s worth a try:

This is an excellent National Talk Radio program from July 24th, 2008. A representative from the Natural Resources Defense Council talks about tetrachlorvinphos in pet products, followed by a great discussion with one of the biggest thorns in Hartz’ side (and a Broken Hartz hero), Mr. Richard Parsons.
The program is a half-hour long, but it is filled with great information:
