A cartoon funds research
Article Abstract:
The oversized, fluffy "Taz", modeled on Warner Brothers' Looney Tunes cartoon character, is on sale for a good cause in Tasmania. Each toy will be raising money for research into Devil Facial Tumor Disease, a disfiguring affliction that is threatening the entire Tasmanian Devil population, and it is expected to fetch almost $200,000 for the research.
