Animal Friends Insurance helps protect endangered Gorillas
Independent pet health insurance company Animal Friends Insurance (AFI) has been supporting pet charities around the world by distributing profits made from insurance sales.
Last december, AFI decided to help raising funds for Gearing Up For Gorillas, a non-for-profit organisation that tries to protect the majestic mountain gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo, currently at war. AFI’s help has already proved successful: food and care are now being dispensed to 3 orphan gorillas in Goma, Ndeze, Ndakasi and Mapendo.
Linda Nunn from G4G said: “The milk powder for baby gorillas is very expensive (especially at the moment with insecurity and travel issues), and the ranger/care givers have to go further to fetch forest food for them every day. They’re obviously having to go further to quieter areas or pay local people to fetch it from afar for them and that all takes money. Funds from AFI will keep Ndeze, Ndakasi and Mapendo fed and looked after for some time.”
With 2009 being declared the “Year of Gorilla” by the UN, Animal Friends have been proud to support the cause. They are the only pet insurance company in the UK to donate 100% of their profits to animal charities worldwide. So, when you buy cover against expensive veterinary bills, you also contribute to animal welfare across the globe.
