In addition to animals being rescuers, there are animals are in dire need of assistance as well. From family pets to wildlife, they should not be overlooked by rescue workers! The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is the world’s largest alliance of animal welfare organizations.  Support their effort, Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) .

    I wouldn’t donate anything to the discriminatory Red Cross. Apparently, my blood is too risky for them because since I am a gay man, they believe I obviously have HIV infected blood. They test ALL the blood anyway and HIV/AIDS is not limited to gay men. What about cities with high HIV infection rates, should we not accept blood from people who live in that city? Just one more way gays are discriminated against in this country. I understand it’s a public health issue, but it can’t come at the cost of outright discrimination. We have the technology to test blood.

    Also, I would steer clear of donating to HSUS, WSPCA, or IFAW! There are very, very few companion animals that need saving in Haiti. This is just another income-gathering scheme for them. They rake in the profits and do very little actual work. Check this out: http://www.anairhoads.org/animal/ASPCAlied.shtml

    Lastly, I’d suggest people donate to Food for Life Global. They’re helping animals and people by distribution much-needed vegan meals to Haitians in need. That is the only organization I am currently supporting because I believe food, along with medical supplies, is the most urgently needed item right now. $25 allows them to distribute 100 vegan meals. http://ffl.org/ffl_featured_story.php
