Now if you asked this question to MM Site Manager Lana, she would say “HELL TO THE YES”. Animal welfare is incredibly important to her. More important than, say, me. Fortunately, I am cool with that and would never harm a chicken. But others would.

Jan Cameron is well known within retail circles as the successful founder of outdoor business Kathmandu. She is also one of Australia’s wealthiest women who created Kathmandu from scratch in a true rags to riches tale after she started handmaking sleeping blankets in Melbourne in the 1970s.
As much as I admire her business acumen, her drive and her success, it is really the flip side of Jan’s character that made me, well really – made me develop a huge girl crush on her.
In 2006 it was reported that Cameron was making corporate history by donating every cent of the $8 million to $9m a year profits from her latest Tasmanian business venture to charitable causes.
What was more astounding is that no-one knew, other than the recipients. Cameron, who has a reputation as a publicity-shy recluse, says she simply hasn’t seen the need to broadcast it.
Now cynics on the tax benefit side of this arrangement notwithstanding, I admire a woman who gives generously and without the need for public praise and adulation.

She is a great Woman,no she a real hero! There are plenty of people who help the humans-who cares about the poor animals??? You Jan obviously do, it makes me feel better knowing that there are so many Animal lover like “SAVE” Thank you Jan Cameron's for what you do for them. I wish more people cared about animals. It's so sad that many people just do not care about animal suffering.
The worst thing about “Kiwis” is their total denial about the level of their Animal Cruelty problems in New Zealand.
Sometimes all it takes to make things better is for one person to decide to do something. It sounds as Jan Cameron's is one of those persons who won’t just look away when she see animals suffering but will look for a way to help reduce their pain. The animals are lucky to have this Jan Cameron's as their guardian!
Make a difference and speak for those who can't speak for themselves.

We need People the love animal, because animals are treated very badly in this world. All animals should be treated with compassion, love and respect. We need people to get that message out.
There is little that separates humans from other sentient beings we all feel pain, we all feel joy, we all deeply crave to be alive and live freely, and we all share this planet together. Gandhi ,,, LOVE AN ANIMAL-CHANGE THE WORLD,,,

FRIENDS FOR THE LOVE OF ANIMALS
Firstly. Would I dob in my boss to save an animals life? HELL YES. I'm a vegetarian and proud of it. I would and do move mountains to save animals in pain and suffering.
There seems to be a lot of debate about where her money should go... She should've spent it on Human rights, or something else more worthwhile.
I'm sure if we were all in her position, where we had the money, we would all probably have different things we would donate it to. BUT it is HER money,to do with what she likes. Good on her for doing it. It's great to see someone out there doing something because it is their passion.
