This holiday season, all of us here at In Defense of Animals would like to offer a sincere and heartfelt ‘Thank You!’ for all of your support during the past year. Over the last twelve months, there were so many challenges. We told you of situations that were often graphic, and heartbreaking, and of hardships and sorrow that were often almost too difficult to describe. We’re so grateful to all of YOU who stood beside us, YOU who remained steadfast and resolute. It was only with the help of so many caring and compassionate people like you that we had the means to transform tragedy into triumph. With you by our side, we are determined to make 2016 the best year for animals yet!

From the hearts of all of our staff (those with and without fur), and from all of our rescued animal friends now living lives of peace and contentment at our three sanctuaries throughout the world, please enjoy the holidays and know we appreciate so much how you all continue to spread the message of compassion and kindness wherever you go.

Thank you for being a true friend to animals and a true friend of IDA.
