I know this is not just in my area but our few local shelters, one of which just went no-kill a few years ago receive such little support from local governments or companies then I read this in charity watch: “If you are an animal lover you may have received a t-shirt or other unsolicited gift from SPCA International (SPCAI), a charity that states its mission as "advancing the safety and well-being of animals." One highly publicized program of the group is "Operation Baghdad Pups," through which the charity purports to assist U.S. soldiers in bringing animals from war zones to the United States. Unfortunately, this AIP F rated charity spent only 8% of its cash budget on this and other programs in 2009. Since its founding in 2006 SPCAI has grown at a breakneck rate, raising $7 million in cash contributions in 2009 alone-though this growth has come at a high cost. In addition to spending very little on its programs, the charity is operating while in multi-million dollar debt to its fundraisers.”
Our shelter folks receive such low pay, if any at all…many are volunteers…
Thanks for letting me vent…guess I’m just hurt seeing our locals pleading on FB for just a few jugs of bleach or cans of kitten food.
