"The ANIMAL LEGAL DEFENSE FUND (ALDF) is the only national legal action organization dedicated to defending animal rights and promoting animal protection. ALDF's nationwide network of over 650 volunteer attorneys has won landmark legal victories on behalf of imperiled animals, whenever they're at risk -- in laboratories, in the wild, and in our towns and cities.
"And with the support of over 60,000 members, ALDF attorneys have sent a ringing message to criminals who prey on helpless animals: Animal abuse has no place in a civilized society!
"Cruelty to animals has reached epidemic proportions across the country. Every day brings heartbreaking reports of abuse ... [too explicit to list here]."
This is as wonderful an organization and with the added *punch* of having all those attorneys to help make the laws change and see that the abusers do the time for the crime!
"If you're like most Americans, you're probably sick and tired of all the greed-driven, underhanded attempts by the anti-environmentalists on Capital Hill to destroy our natural heritage.
"When you join the Sierra Club, you become part of an organization that -- at 550,000 Members strong -- can accomplish things no other organization can! What's more, you'll receive a wealth of special Membership benefits and privileges:
"First, [they'll] rush you your FREE official Sierra Club backpack (but act now, as supplies are limited!). And you'll also receive [their] highly acclaimed Sierra magazine; discounts on books and merchandise; Members-only travel opportunities; and automatic Membership in your local Sierra Club Chapter, offering rewarding activities from nature walks to lobbying on local issues."
I think this is a wonderful organization, helping the environment as well as the animals that call it home. Working with governments as well as citizens, Sierra Club has made major changes from stopping National Forest land from being cut down for lumber to helping wetlands survive and the nature that lives there. They are a great group of caring people.
"People of all ages around the world are viciously torturing and sadistically killing pet dogs and cats.
"Twenty eight years ago, [Brian Davies] founded IFAW to end the brutal clubbing to death of baby white coat seals for fur, and today IFAW continues to save animals through Pet Rescue and other campaigns."
What these animals have gone through is unbelievable ... even to me, an animal rescuer of 25+ years ... torture, abuse, neglect, insanity! From all over the world this organization helps animals that, by all intent and purpose, should have died! They are miracle workers ... well worth the support!
Anyone that can find the time and money to support these groups will go to sleep at night a little more peaceful knowing their money and volunteering will help make many animals a lot safer and happier!
