Walteria Living and WSPA- 10.01.07
Chocolate combined with beautifully sculpted animals AND proceeds to aid WSPA, the world society for the protection of animals? That fits what we’re all about pretty perfectly. Walteria Living’s Endangered Species Chocolates designed by Kathleen Walsh and Anita Mothersbaugh are part of their new HMS (her majesty’s ship) Collection. Each box contains a Pygmy Hippopotamus, Mountain Gorilla, and Koala Bear. The series makes reference to consumption with an emphasis on conservation education. See close ups below for the incredible attention to detail in these chocolates, as much as i may love chocolate, these may just be too beautiful to consume.
Did Walteria Living steal this idea or is it the same company as http://www.chocolatebar.com/ ? I found that site while I was searching for information on the cocoa source for this chocolate. Most cocoa is produced in a way that threatens local farmers, rainforest and endangered species so these chocolates could be very cynical….
