Do NOT support WWF

[Black Dove]

That is so bizarre. I'm really shocked about this. I always thought WWF to be one of the best, but this has totally changed my view. This news needs to be spread!

[.: Z I Z I A :.]

I almost don't believe that... Wow.... I'm gonna have to read that again in the morning and definatly show it to my mom... Maybe it's time to re-think our membership to WWF...

I know Panteen the shampoo hair stuff tests it's products on animals.

[GYARADOS.]

woah. woah.

[vegetabledork]

Good to know. Sad to see and hear.

[krquinn]

What a disappointment to find out the truth. Like many others here I thought they were a great organization that truly helped animals.

Shame on them!

toms of maine tests on animals?! their products all say "not tested on animals"

[kcares]

The link doesn't work for the website :-(

Don't we all hate hypocracy???

[AnimalAvenger]

A wonderful way to find out if something is tested on animals or not is to search for the product using this:

I recently found out that lots of companies will hire a third party to test on animals, so they can say they don't test on animals while saving money....

I learned about this before, and it definitely was a shock to me. Why would they say that they are dedicated to protecting animals, yet turn around and pull crap like this? What a shame.

Wow...I had no clue! Thanks for posting.

Trophy Hunting
Question
Is trophy hunting a concern of World Wildlife Fund?

Answer
Endangered species preservation has always been the priority for World Wildlife Fund. The decision to allow trophy hunting is a sovereign one made entirely by the government concerned.We will continue to monitor government enforcement of important trade laws to ensure that trophy hunting is done within the legal standards of that area.

Guns and Hunting
Question
Are guns and hunting a concern of World Wildlife Fund?

Answer
The mission of World Wildlife Fund includes protecting rare and endangered species and their habitats all over the world. We explicitly object to any activity that threatens the survival of endangered species and the habitat in which they live.World Wildlife Fund, for example, does not oppose gun hunting or trapping by indigenous people to meet their basic needs. We do insist that hunting and trapping be regulated so that the survival of any species does not become threatened. The decision to allow trophy hunting is a sovereign one made entirely by the government concerned. We vigorously oppose any hunting or trapping activities which violate international, national, or state law.

I don't believe that whatsoever. Look at the source it's coming from. ALF is absolutely insane. I seriously wonder if they don't have a touch of paranoia over there, they things they say, the things they do. And people say PETA's crazy.......
