Undoubtedly we here are animal lovers. If you have come to a point where you don't know what to give to people for Christmas, make a donation to BRAT or look at the World Wildlife 'adoption' page. My husband is getting a donation to BRAT this year as his gift, and I am looking at some adoptable creatures to give my sis and her husband. Dr. Jo, there is even a river otter!

As for WWF, I have not done tons of research on how their donation money is spent - how much (percentage) actually goes to helping the animals you pick. Yes, might be dumb on my part. I guess my main message here is that there are so many cool ways to give gifts now.
