I just recieved this in my email, and decided to pass it along. One of these is definately going on my Christmas List. There are a ton of other animals on the site that need to be adopted, too.
"When the snow begins to fall in Alaska this winter - and it's not so far away now - wolves will once again be in the crosshairs. Last winter, hundreds of wolves were killed through the brutal practice of aerial gunning.
Easy targets against fallen snow, wolves can be gunned down from airplanes or chased to exhaustion and then shot from the ground. It's unthinkable, yet in Alaska, it's legal.
The Alaskan public doesn't support this awful practice - they've voted twice to ban it. Yet the Alaskan government continues to thwart the will of the public and allow the slaughter of innocent wolves.
As Defenders gears up for another critical media and grassroots campaign to stop the aerial gunning of wolves this winter, they need your help. You can help save wolves this winter - adopt a wolf as a holiday gift and help Defenders stop the cruel killing of these beautiful animals.
Defenders will send that special someone on your holiday gift list a plush wolf and a certificate of adoption. Your tax deductible adoption will provide resources for our wolf efforts and you'll enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you're making a difference.
A year ago this month, when the Alaska Board of Game wanted to expand the area where wolves could be hunted from airplanes, Defenders of Wildlife successfully blocked it. Defenders has a long and proven history of protecting wolves, from working tirelessly to restore wolves to Yellowstone to campaigning in Alaska to end aerial gunning.
Reader's Digest named Defenders "America's Best Wildlife Charity." When you adopt a wolf today through Defenders, you can know that your gift will fund effective, on-the-ground conservation work to protect wolves.
The Alaska Board of Game plans to allow aerial hunters to kill hundreds more wolves which could become the greatest wolf massacre since the 1950's. Defenders has petitioned Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton to enforce the federal Airborne Hunting Act in Alaska to stop the killing. This year, you can count on continued grassroots, legal, and public education efforts from Defenders."

This would be the perfect gift for a child, or someone who likes stuffed animals and helping animals. (Like me!) Give the gift of helping save a life for the holidays!
