Welttierschutz - für irreführende Radiowerbung bekannt, wo suggeriert wird, man betreibe in Thailand, Rumänien oder sonstwo Tierschutzstationen … mitnichten ist das so, vielmehr geben die Berichten von Welttierschutz (die auf deren Webseite bereit gehalten werden) nur wider, dass man Geld investieren würde in das eine oder andere Projekt - wieviel Geld genau wohin geflossen ist bleibt völlig unklar, keine Transparenz und deshalb hat diese Bude zurecht auch KEIN Spendensiegel! Bitte spendet Euer Geld, wenn Ihr es für Tierwohl ausgeben wollt, an lokale Tierheime!
