As we approach December - the month when almost a third of all charitable giving for the year takes place - many of us might be wondering where we should be sending our charitable donations. Some of us will choose to give to charities such as Against Malaria Foundation, which helps to protect people in the developing world from a disease that kills almost 3,000 children every day. And yet, despite the great needs of humans around the world, many people will choose to donate to charities that help animals. In fact, it has recently been reported by the Mirror that “bequests to animal charities beat donations to human causes”, and that donations bequeathed to animals “dwarfed” those going to vulnerable and abused children.

They came in one by one, to applause, "aahs" and an "ooh" or two -- Cindy Lou Who and Horton and Mayze McGrew. No one is trying to pass for Dr. Seuss here, but the spirit of the
beloved children's book author was very much present Monday at Animal
Friends' 17th annual New Year's Eve rescue. The center took in 32 cats and 25 dogs that had been slated to be
euthanized after either being lost, casually abandoned or reluctantly
given up.
