With a growing number of Americans concerned about
identity theft and privacy issues, many households now have paper shredders,
some of which have enough power to shred CD’s. And now, a new warning has
been issued, accompanied by startling and grisly tales of injury inflicted on
companion animals by paper shredders. In almost all cases, dogs and cats stuck
probing tongues into the openings and were caught; it is rare for these poor
creatures to survive their injuries.

The good news is that you can prevent this from
happening to your dog or cat. Most of us leave our shredders on the
“automatic” setting – simply switch it to the
“off” position. Or better yet, just unplug the device while
it’s not in use. By taking this simple step today, you could avoid a great
deal of grief in the future.
