I would like to know how to get a letter to this woman who apparently has no respect for life other than her kind! Life is all around us yet there are stillsome idiots out there who are still narrow minded and lack the respect for ALL LIFE! They were here before we humans and desrve enough to be protected from the savages that dare to include ... Read Morethemselves in the human race!! PETA has a great effort in progress to stop the seal slaughter. Maybe the efforts can be paired to double the motion. Sorry so lengthy...I'm just very sensitive to the violence.

Hi all - IFAW's East Africa Country Director James Isiche penned a
response in The Washington Post to John Frederick Walker's October 17 piece on "Selling Ivory

elephants from poach...ers in Africa...an idea IFAW disagrees with...here is the link to James' response saying as much: http://bit.ly/isichewapoRead More

A heartfelt thanks to IFAW who were in the Philippines on those horrible times most especially to Dick and Sarah. Thank you for not abandoning those animals. Just curious where did the animals go after the rescue? I hate to think that after the blood and tears and hardwork they ended up nowhere.

i love elephants & am sickened by this news, but violence cannot resolve violence...better to help poor nations fund antipoaching staff, & address the roots of the demand for ivory, and yes, punish poachers but not by the death penalty vigilante or otherwise.
