Put gifts from charity on wish list

Christmas shoppers in Renfrewshire are being urged to support the life-saving work of Animal Defenders International (ADI).

The welfare experts offer a selection of cards and gifts for the festive season with all proceeds from ADI merchandise sales going to help safeguard animals in need around the world.

Gifts suit all tastes and budgets including scented candles, animal- themed T-shirts and bags, natural beauty products and canvas print images of freedom.

With offices in the UK, the USA and Colombia, ADI works to end the suffering of animals in captivity and protect wild animals and their environments.

This includes the long-term protection of animals used in entertainment; animals used in research and their replacement with advanced non- animal techniques; and wildlife, whose survival is threatened, for example, by trafficking, the ivory and lion bone trades, and trophy hunting.

Jan Creamer, ADI president, said “Our online store is the perfect place for ethical, fun Christmas gifts for family and friends, with every purchase supporting ADI’s life-saving work around the world.”

The organisation has rescued hundreds of animals and currently funds the care and habitats of more than 80 lions, bears, primates and other animals at partner sanctuaries in Europe, Africa and South America.
