How cleverly named charities deceive you. 

When 501c”3″ mission isn’t what you think.

Many people would be surprised to read that the cute little Ranger Rick Racoon children’s  magazine is part of National Wildlife Federation. NWF backs trophy hunting of wolves. NWF even asks you to adopt of wolf right on their website.

Even more outlandish is using a cute panda as a logo to get donations as is the case with World Wildlife Fund. Here’s the statement on trophy hunting from thier own website. Read it for yourself  here: http://www.wwf.org.uk/wwf_articles.cfm?unewsid=6766

Killing is not conservation. 

Always research before you click the donate bar. One great resource for checking out a charity is Charity Navigator at http://www.charitynavigator.org
