Cover Story "Vaccine Legal Jitters"

Next-To-Kin is a private, not-for-profit organization that believes that dogs, cats and other pets so enrich our lives that we should recognize our pets/companion animals legally and even legislatively as "beyond mere property."

Next-To-Kin seeks to enhance the quality of life of pets/companion animals and their guardians by:

Challenging the pervasive veterinary practice of over-vaccination.
Pushing for changes in laws that treat companion animals as mere property, having no value beyond what was paid to acquire him or her.
Promoting research into the value of companion animals at home and in the workplace, the development of home-hospice curricula, and guardian advocacy programs.

Tour our pages. Consider our points of view. If you find yourself in agreement - please join our cause.

Next To Kin's First Annual Overvaccination Survey Conducted Statewide in Colorado September 27-28, 2005 by Hill Research Consultants

Responding to the question: "Does your veterinarian recommend an annual rabies vaccination for your pet?" 79% said Yes!! - despite Colorado passing a three year rabies option in 1999 six years earlier. Here's a .pdf of the Survey.

The "Informed Consent Form" offered in Next To Kin's newspaper advertising is available with an initial membership fee of $10.00.

To begin protecting your companion animal/pet from overvaccination, send $10 and your address to the address below. We'll rush you a membership card with informed consent information.
