Over the past few months, IFAW's Emergency Response team has been
working around the clock in harsh conditions to rescue hundreds of
domestic animals and livestock from the devastating floods in Tabasco,
Mexico. Similarly, our campaigners are working tirelessly in
Parliament, in industry, and at the grassroots level to ensure that
animals are treated with the respect that they deserve.
This
Christmas, gift buyers can help IFAW rescue more stricken animals in
2008 by choosing heart-warming virtual presents for family and friends
from our novel online catalogue.
Buy an IFAW "Gift for Animals" and you will be donating symbolically in
the recipient?s name to one of our five most important animal
campaigns, which include Emergency Relief.
There are virtual gifts for every budget: each comes with a card and
brochure, describing how it will help save one of the recipient?s
favourite animals. Plus, gifts over ?75 include a luxury pen and
pencil set. Whether the gift is ?25 or ?1,000 it will help us make a
real difference.
Our Emergency Relief gifts include a day of fuel for an IFAW animal
rescue boat (?25), the cleaning of an oiled penguin (?50) and the
veterinary costs for vaccinating cats and dogs for an entire day (?100).
Buying one of our Save a Seal gifts will help our teams work to end
Canada?s annual seal hunt. These gifts range from seal observation
permits and survival suits for our monitors to seal hunt surveillance
flights.
Many loved ones will adore one of our gifts supporting the rescue of
cubs orphaned by Russia?s annual bear hunt, from life-saving drugs to a
month?s entire care for a single motherless cub.
Our catalogue also features gifts to help us protect elephants from the illegal ivory
trade and support our work giving free veterinary care to cats and dogs
in the world?s poorest communities and teaching owners how to care for
them.
