In 1975 and up to about June of '76 there were millions of them sold all packaged in little. cardboard boxes with , feeding and training in- structions and sold in -.every department store in America for $4.95, Then the kids got tired of them and abandoned the rocks in the homes, the streets and in the parks. It was hard to believe that a kid who owned a pet rock would let it go. But they did!' People tried to round them up, but it was very difficult to, catch:a rock especially when it is frtghtened, hungry and cold. They were taken to the rock shelter, but soon they ' overflowed the place. Someone asked, "Can't you get people to come to the shelter and adopt the rocks?" After a big public,ity campaign people did -go but wanted just the little rocks. No one wanted a„._ full gown rock,thinking they'd be no fun to play with. Actually ' the larger •rocks are better for homes as they have been house-trained. Few people realize the time and work that goes into the training and care of a pet rock. What happens. if they are not adopted, if no one wants them? At the shelter they advised "We 'can only _keep them for two weeks then we put them to sleep - either that • or turn them over to the lab for geology experiments or give them to the university - where they' may become creature rocks." • Many loudly acclaim, "It's the parents fault." When Christmas comes they only think of something new and expensive to give their kids • Chriatinas morning. • Why, people have even found a' Pet Rock on their lawn, obviously thrown away by the lids anticipating the day. • Parents should think twice before allowing their child to have a pet when they don't know how to take care of it. • Perhaps if people had to • licence their Pet Rocks they would think before aban- doning them. That makes • sense. • I imagine there is nothing that can be done to the people who sold them in the first place? No, the fellow who started the craze for Pet Rocks is now • selling pounds and tons of sand a few grains at a tirrie, '-'He tells you there are male • and female grains and they do grow up; fall in love, mate and have little grains of sand. He,clahns it is better than a circus to watch and laughs all the way -to -the bank -with -his load of coins. He sold 33,000 kits the first month! So think twice before • buying that tiny package of sand, they may someday take over your home. How are the names and addresses departments making out. I haven't heard.
