Petition: Pledge to Not Give Animals Away at “White Elephant” Parties

Animals are not joke gifts. But it turns out that some people have been using little animals in exactly this way – as gag gifts in “white elephant” present-exchanging parties.

The idea behind a white elephant party is for a group of people to gather together and semi-randomly receive impractical, funny gifts as part of a game. Yet some individuals find it amusing to bring living, breathing creatures and just give them away.

If you’re attending any parties, please sign this petition and pledge that you won’t abuse or abandon any animals in this way!
