STOP using the term "adopt" in relation to animals Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/stop-using-the-term-adopt-in-relation-to-animals.html Online petition signatures en-us Fri, 17 Apr 2026 02:12 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Anonymous [Signature #9] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14276346?utm_medium=rss Get your terminology correct. Sponsership is the word you need to use. I have a very confused child everytime she sees an advertisement that includes the word 'adopt a panda' etc. We would actually consider sponsering a panda or tiger or whatever other animal you sugggest. While you use the word adoption you will not have our support but actually we will ask people not to support you. Yes that is how strongly I feel.

Please respect the feelings of those who are adopted by using the term "sponsor" instead of "adopt" to raise charitable funds.
