Help Protect Dogs in China
A massive cull in the Chinese city of Hanzhong has claimed the lives of more than 30,000 dogs - and we need your help to make sure that it never happens again.
The local government ordered the mass slaughter of all dogs as the result of a few cases of rabies deaths. It is proven that rabies can be effectively controlled by a well-managed vaccination program.
We need your help to contact the Chinese Ambassador in your country and to encourage China to pass legislation that protects all animals, including companion animals.

Victory for Seals in Europe!

The European Parliament voted in favor of a ban on the trade of all seal
products within the EU. This is a significant victory in IFAW’s 40 year campaign
to end Canada’s commercial seal hunt. The ban will forbid the sale of seal
products for profit within the EU.
We now need your help more than ever to end this cruel and unnecessary
hunt.
Please support Senator Harb's bill to ban the seal hunt today!
Help IFAW continue its campaign to end the hunt!
