IFAW announces candidate endorsements

Canadian Election IFAW
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has released their top picks for animal-friendly candidates for this federal election.

For the last several weeks, IFAW has encouraged animal lovers to use their surveying tool and contact would-be politicians in their individual ridings. Each voter is able to view how their candidates responded (if they responded) or send a follow up email through the tool, too.
