People all around us are looking for ways to be kinder to the planet and to their pocketbooks, so the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is offering a planet-friendly, ethical, less-is-more alternative to expensive material gifts - Really Wild Gifts. These gifts are purchased online, involve no paper or consumer goods, and they show that the person sending the gift really wants to make a difference.
Half of Canadian households have a pet, so it's safe to say that Canadians care about animals. But in addition to pets, farm animals, working animals and wildlife have a profound impact on the lives of everyone on earth. Billions of people around the world rely on animals for their livelihoods. Nearly the entire planet relies on them for food. They are an integral part of the web of life.
Proceeds from these gifts go to important international work such as building sanctuaries, funding mobile veterinary clinics, delivering aid after disasters, and protecting animals from cruelty.
Really Wild Gifts can be purchased online at www.ReallyWildGifts.ca. There are several animals to choose from and donations start at $20. E-cards can be personalized and sent anywhere in the world with details of the present and how it will help to protect animals.
