No

to
the

But
what
can
we
as
individuals
do
?
In
recent

the
appeals

that
come
in

that

on

.
They
are
certainly
having
an
impact
on
my
children
.
I'm
sure
that
in
addition
to
sending
donations
to
various
charities
,
you

(

about

I
suspect
what
you

(
haven't

is
how
expensive
these
"

are
.
Not
that
I

donationg
$50
for
my
child
to
adopt
an
orangutan
or
Sumatran
rhino
.
It's
all
for
a
good
cause
.
And
no
doubt
donations

What
I
hadn't

was
for
a

version
to
arrive
in
the

Now
my
daughter
wants
the
entire
collection
,
which
is
all
very
well
-
except
there
are
more
than
1000
endangered
species
that
she
can
sign
up
to
help
!
