Celebrities help WWF go ‘under the hammer’ for tigers

Posted on by

WWF supporters, Kelly Hoppen, Graeme Le Saux and Jo wood will today help launch a special online auction, raising funds for tiger conservation.

Items ranging from tiger print Jimmy Choo shoes to an eco-gold tiger paw bracelet, exclusively co-designed by Sabine Roemer and Jo Wood, will be available to bid for. The auction began at 10am Friday 1 June and will end at 12pm Friday 10 August 2012. To make your bid you can go to: www.wwf.org.uk/auction4tigers

The auction follows on from WWF’s Year of the Tiger campaign which began in 2010 – the Chinese year of the tiger – and aims to double wild tiger numbers by the next year of the tiger, in 2022.

Auctions items:

• Jimmy Choo Bag

• Jimmy Choo Shoes

• Tiger print signed by Ronnie Wood

• Tiger t-shirt and swimming costume designed by Melissa Odabash

• 18ct tiger necklace by Fifi Bijoux

• Signed Andy Murray t-shirt from Australian Open 2012

• 100cm tiger plush toy donated by Keel Toys

• Kelly Hoppen Design School place – Sept 2012

• Handcrafted bracelet by Sabine Roemer co-designed with Jo wood

• Panda print signed by Sir Peter Scott, WWF’s Founding Chairman

• 12 month WWF tiger adoption pack and Panda Made Me Do It t-shirt

• Tiger print by wildlife photographer Roger Hooper

Heather Sohl, senior species policy officer at WWF-UK said:

“There are now thought to be as few as 3,200 tigers left in the wild, and their numbers have fallen by about 95 per cent over the last century. Wild tigers desperately need our support if they are to survive. By taking part in WWF’s online auction you can make a bid and help raise crucial funds to protect them from threats such as poaching and habitat loss. Plus, it’s not every day that you can get yourself a pair of tiger print Jimmy Choo’s and do your bit to help save a species! We really appreciate the support we have received from Kelly, Graeme and Jo, and initiatives like this will go a long way to help WWF’s work to double wild tiger numbers by 2022.”

Ke$ha Joins Campaign To Ban Animal-Tested Cosmetics In Europe

‘Animal’ Singer Ke$ha Joins Campaign To Ban Animal-Tested Cosmetics In Europe

American singer Ke$ha has joined stars Leona Lewis, Ricky Gervais, Dame Judi Dench, Mary McCartney and Melanie C, in urging EU politicians to keep their promise to ban the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals such as rabbits and hamsters [1].

The stars, and more than 60,000 compassionate consumers, have signed the CrueltyFree2013 petition organised by animal charity Humane Society International [2] urging EU politicians to make Europe a cruelty-free cosmetics zone by 2013.

Animal testing for cosmetics is banned in the UK and EU, but it is still legal to sell animal-tested products and ingredients imported from countries such as Brazil, China, Canada and the United States.

A European Union-wide ban on the sale of animal-tested cosmetics is due to come into force in March 2013, and could be a major step toward a global end to cosmetics animal testing. However, as the 2013 deadline approaches, the European Commission has hinted the ban may be delayed, perhaps by many years [3]. The lives of thousands of rabbits, hamsters, mice and guinea-pigs hangs in the balance.

Ke$ha signed HSI’s CrueltyFree2013 petition as her first collaboration with animal charity Humane Society International following her appointment as the charity’s first ever Global Ambassador.

Ke$ha said:
“I am honored to be the first HSI Global Ambassador because my music is inspired by the freedom and primal beauty of animals and the natural world. I take this opportunity incredibly seriously because we are ALL animals. One of the main underlying sentiments of my music is to respect all living creatures just as they are. I believe that together, we can change laws that allow innocent animals to be unjustly mistreated and abused all over the world.”

Ke$ha’s goal is to help HSI promote respect, protection, and compassion for animals around the world. Her record of musical success is impressive – her hit “TiK ToK” was the biggest-selling digital track in the world in 2010 and her “Animal” album has already sold over 2 million units worldwide. She’s racked up a number of prestigious award nominations, and took home a 2010 MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act.

HSI is part of the international ‘Leaping Bunny’ cruelty-free standard. Approved brands are independently audited to guarantee no animal testing and include Urban Decay, Hard Candy, Montagne Jeunesse, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Superdrug.
