Unique Holiday Gift Idea That Saves Seals


This year, give a gift to a friend or loved one that also helps save baby seals: an IFAW Gift for Animals. Your gift will help put an end to the cruelty of Canada's annual commercial seal hunt. Gift recipients will receive a special gift card package describing the animal they've saved and a free desktop animal calendar.



It's the perfect gift for animal lovers or those who are looking for a truly meaningful gift option this holiday season.


$25 Pays for a seal hunt observation permit to document animal cruelty

$50 Funds a campaign to prosecute anyone caught abusing seals

$75 Buys a survival suit for seal hunt monitors

1. WOW, the emails started coming in

I was also almost arrested for protesting when Karl Rove was in Omaha last year. He was at Ameritrade, and then a fund raiser. Lame duck Tom Osborne was there with Karl. Maybe that is why tom didn't get the nomination for Nebraska Governor? Yep, I know better.

About the Reb Lobster boycott: http://www.harpseals.org/helpstop/boycott.html

* A focus on RED LOBSTER Restaurants
(Owned by The Darden Group, this parent company also owns another large chain of restaurants called the Olive Garden)

Why Red Lobster? This well known restaurant chain is one of the largest purchasers of Canadian Seafood in the world making it a prime target of the seafood boycott...

Other great gift ideas from the "rescuing animals in crisis" page:

$25 purchases one day of fuel for a rescue boat
$50 cleans one oiled penguin
$100 keeps a team of veterinarians in the field vaccinating cats and dogs for a day
$200 buys a pair of handheld radios for field rescue teams
