Differentiating between animal-related charities
“The humane cause is about preventing suffering. A species does not suffer; individual animals suffer. Organizations which favor causing individual animals to suffer in the name of conservation should accordingly receive no support from any humane donor.”
(From an editorial from “Animal People”, 12.03)
Please read the full editorial, if interested in determining where your donations go, which animal-related charities actually help animals, etc., amid all the solicitations you might receive in the mail. It also has information about “wildlife conservation” charities, etc., which is important for people who care about wildlife to read. (See “*” below.)

* There is a huge difference between the ideologies of “conservation” (or “sustainable use”) and “rehabilitation”. As an “independent source” who knows and supports the work of Fellow Mortals, Inc. whenever I can, I recommend them for your consideration as an organization worthy of support. Please visit their site at http://www.fellowmortals.org.
