Adopt a Pet and Support Japan Earthquake Relief by July 31

Adopt a Pet and Support Japan Earthquake Relief by July 31

Until July 31, when you purchase the latest World of Warcraft companion up for adoption in the online Pet Store, we’re donating 100% of the $10 USD adoption fee to the American Red Cross's Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief efforts.

This is a great time to tame the wild and noble Cenarion Hatchling! This little critter is the twin of the rare Hippogryph Hatchling pet players could randomly encounter in the first World of Warcraft Trading Card Game set, Heroes of Azeroth -- and he's emerged from the forests to lend a helping talon to some friends in need. This support will enable the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, emotional support, and other assistance to victims of this disaster.

To learn more, please visit the Pet Store FAQ.

The American Red Cross name and emblem are used with its permission, which in no way constitutes an endorsement, express or implied, of any product, service, company, opinion, or political position. For more information about the American Red Cross, visit http://www.redcross.org.

Blizzard make billions of dollars in cash each year. Send a billion to Red Cross, stop being cheap and make a REAL donation. I do liek the fact that they give us a choice to help support the red cross but like i said. MAYBE BLIZZARD should give a billion. Its nothing that a couple months wont fix

I think this was a great idea by Blizzard and so generous! Typically I see companies asking to purchase something and 10% of the proceeds go to the cause. Hats off to you Blizzard for donating a full 100% I propose you make 6 more companions (so I can get to 100 companions) for various causes and I will gladly donate $10 each!

@Vaschamareli: It may be great that its 100% of the proceeds, but why put a time limit on it and why so sooooon!, i was going to by this pet on the 6 of august then i realised that none of the proceeds would go to japan and i quickly put my credit card back in my wallet :(

@Ohiggins: Haití and Chile didn't have nuclear meltdowns right afterward, or ecological disaster due to nuclear meltdowns, or super strands of incurable gonorrhea suddenly appearing after nuclear meltdowns. Japan just can't catch a brake right now dude.

@Ohiggins: Haiti and Chile also don't provide the United States with some of the best multi-platform gaming inspiration that Japen does. They're our brother in the world of game development. But hey, let's also be pissed that the USA didn't hold a major concert headlining multi-million dollar stars for Japan. After all, by your logic, any country we don't give money to, we should be disappointed in someone.

Mindless people are posting about how Blizzard and any other corporation is evil anyway so these donations are just a way to escape taxes. This is not true.

I just lost a child to cancer last year a week before is 5th birthday. I thank God that I live in the US. We give more to charities than any other nation- that is individual giving and corporate.

Government and government hacks never did one thing to help us in our fight. But good people came out of no where to donate anonymously. Companies donate billions to St Jude and Children's but also to places like Camp Sunshine.

It saddens me that this generation is so against things like profit.

If you have not donated your time and money anonymously to help people in need, but feel you have the time and energy to play WoW and troll forums about how bad a company is for donations, I feel for your miserable life.

@Zebu: Sorry about your loss. Not everyone likes to help others, but thats their own buisness. Just don't even waste your time thinking about it. When they truley need help, they won't get it.

As for Zebu sorry about your loss there. Nothing makes me feel worse than the thought of a sick kid so whenever I see a donation jar at a gas station, market, ect I make sure I'm at least putting something in there if I have cash on me.
