IFAW Celebrates 10th Annual Animal Action Awards
The ceremony was hosted by long-time friend of IFAW Baroness Gale and celebrity fashion designer Elizabeth Emanuel and sponsored by The People newspaper and Nat Geo Wild. This is always a lovely event in the IFAW calendar and it is great to recognise and meet people who give selflessly to animals every day.
New polling reveals cross-party support for the continuation of the fox hunting ban
The poll, by Ipsos MORI, shows that nearly twice as many Tory supporters favour the ban as want it repealed. More than six out of 10 (62%) say that fox hunting should NOT be made legal again, with just one in three (33%) saying it should be (five per cent say they do not know).
IFAW to Move Nine Abused Elephants
IFAW has just committed US$25,000 to move nine elephants that were severely abused by a Zimbabwean safari company.
The elephants were to be used to give “elephant-back safaris” to wealthy tourists. The cruel training methods included physical abuse, isolation, malnourishment and neglect – all designed to “break the spirit” of the young elephants so that they could be easily controlled.
IFAW is planning on moving the rescued elephants 250km to Hwange National Park, the largest protected preserve in Zimbabwe.
