What its pages say

Quoted word for word from ifaw.org.

In their own words: “Every animal is part of a species, and every species depends on its habitat for survival. IFAW was founded by Brian Davies in 1969 with the goal to stop the commercial hunt for whitecoat seals on the east coast of Canada. Together, our international programs deliver immediate and lasting impact for animals, people and the place we call home.” About page
