Be a miracle for animals this holiday season

TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2017 /CNW/ - Unwrap tangled turtles from discarded fishing nets, deliver a festive feast and medicine to a recently freed bear and give stray dogs comfort and joy this holiday.  You can do all this and more with a World Animal Gift from World Animal Protection. 

We all know the important role animals play in our lives.  Our pets become part of the family, millions of the world's poorest people depend on animals for their lives and livelihoods, and we consider our precious wildlife a vital part of the ecosystem we all share.
