NATIONAL EMERGENCY
The Silent Crisis No One Is Talking About
Every day, thousands of pet rocks are abandoned in dusty desk drawers, left to weather in untended gardens, or carelessly skipped across lakes. These loyal, low-maintenance companions—once polished and cherished—are now suffering in total silence, devoid of googly eyes, tiny hats, and basic affection.
- 73% of pet rocks haven't been spoken to since 1998.
- Over 4 million rocks are forcibly separated from their original moss beds annually.
- Only 1 in 10 owners remember to celebrate their rock's birthday.
- Countless rocks have been subjected to non-consensual paperweight labor.
