This petition is to companies that use images of animal species that are endangered in their advertising to make them donate funds to animal welfare groups that support these species.

Across Africa, the King of Beasts is in trouble. In the late 20th century, wildlife preserves were created to curtail safari hunting, but the African lion population continues to decline. Their numbers have dwindled from 100,000 in the early 1990s to no more than 30,000 and as few as 16,000 today.

For example, Food Lion uses lions in it's advertising.  If the lions had lawyers they would sue for using their images and not paying royalties.  The point is that in order to protect these animals more funds are needed and it is logical that companies like Food Lion, Elephant Auto Insurance, etc. should contribute to the preservation efforts of non-profit organizations.

The details can be left to the companies, their CEO,  accountants and marketing personnel. Join me in requesting that Food Lion and Elephant Auto Insurance support the animals that they use in marketing by donating to reputable preservation groups.
