Save the whales while shopping at Buffalo Exchange! In celebration of Earth Day, all proceeds from Buffalo Exchange’s Dollar Day Sale benefit The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the nation's largest animal protection organization. All sale items offered for one dollar each at your local Buffalo Exchange on April 25 will go to the Save Whales-Not Whaling campaign of The HSUS and its international arm, Humane Society International. Earth Day benefits at Buffalo Exchange stores have raised nearly $249,000 for environmental causes since 1997.

“Save the Whales” isn’t just a slogan. It’s the goal of the Save Whales-Not Whaling campaign. It’s hard to believe, but there are countries that still want to kill whales. There’s simply no need. Not only does whaling pose devastating threats to whale populations, but it is extremely cruel. HSUS/HSI arms pro-whale countries with the legal and scientific arguments they need to be able to stop the slaughter in their waters, and faces opponents at the International Whaling Commission meetings, where the fate of whales is debated and decided. HSUS/HSI work to enforce the policies that protect whales, and reverse the cruel policies of some governments that would end that protection.
