IMPORTANT: Beware of Sites to and Save the Rainforest and Tigers

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I just wanted to let you all know that when you click at those sites

where you save the tigers or the rainforest, your money goes to the

Wildlife Conservation Society and the money supports zoos, which many of

us don't approve of. I wrote to them to ask about this and their

views on hunting. The answer regarding hunting was a bit vague, I'd

say.... she said they do not support hunting of exotic animals in

nature. So it sounds to me like they support other hunting. Her

response is included below.

 

I will not be clicking at any of these sites anymore.

 

Regards,

 

Sharon

Dear Ms.Krawczyk:

 

Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the Wildlife Conservation

Society's policy on hunting. We do not support hunting of exotic animals

in nature.

 

Support provided to the Wildlife Conservation Society can be earmarked

for general operating support, support for any or all of the five NYC

based facilities (Bronx Zoo, Central Park, Queens and Prospect Park

Zoos, and the NY Aquarium) OR one of the 300+ international conservation

field projects.

 

I encourage you to view our website at www.wcs.org to see the breathe of

our involvement in saving wild animals and wild places around the globe.

 

Thank you for contacting us.
