Letter: Help animals this Christmas

Every year at Christmas time, people donate to charities, such as the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity and Toys for Tots to help the poor and downtrodden people in the world.

You can also give Christmas donations to organizations that help animals.

For example, to help tame animals, such as cats and dogs, there are organizations such as the Humane Society and the ASPCA, which rescue thousands of cats and dogs from abusive and neglectful people. By donating to these organizations, you provide them with money to pay for upkeep in the animal shelters and care for the animals. Donations can also help wild animals, through organizations such as the National Wildlife Foundation and the World Wildlife Fund. By donating to organizations like these, you can help raise fundings for education programs, anti-poaching patrols, and additional habitat for many different species of animals.

Through donations to all pro-animal organizations, you can give a Christmas to all creatures in the circle of life.
