This is the group that produces those tear-jerker TV ads that beg people to send $19 per month to support helpless and abused animals.

Animal ping. Better to support your local agencies, or rescue group.
To: afraidfortherepublic
You got it! I support local rescue organizations myself.

Wounded Warrior Project does it too - plus they pay their CEO $350K a year and (IIRC) the top 10 "execs" all make over $100K.

Somebody must have run $19 per month by a focus group!

ONLY donate to local animal charity and rescue groups. As a matter of course, I ONLY donate to local charities. I can hold them accountable and if they do stuff I don’t approve of I can march in to their office and talk to someone about it.

And with all the tear jerking, if you offered to support THEIR mission if they on turn would join YOU in opposing the abortion of innocent human infants, my guess is that they’d spit in your face.

We have had the “Humane” Society of the United State’s number for many years.
Two shelters get our monthly donations, a no-kill shelter and the Humane Society of our county (unaffiliated with HSUS).
They’re local, and we get nice thank you notes from time to time along with their monthly newsletters.
When my Rocket died, they published his passing in their “In Memoriam” column on the front page.

That was very sweet of them...and you.

Local charities get more benefit than for profit ones.

I'll be volunteering at a local animal shelter this month. Looking forward to it.
But before going forward with volunteering I specifically checked whether the shelter had any ties to HSUS.
The shelter's website very pointedly (albeit in small print) distanced itself from HSUS.
HSSVs mission is to save and enhance lives. As an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit, we do not receive funding from HSUS, ASPCA, or local, state or federal government entities. Your support of HSSV directly helps animals in your community!

The ASPAC is the same way, Big charities except for Salvation Army are lucky if 10 cents on every dollar go to the actual cause.

The Salvation Army is a good one. They have always been wise with their money. St. Vincent de Paul is another.

The Salvation Army is a good one. They have always been wise with their money. St. Vincent de Paul is another.Every year my father gave quite a bit to the SA. I finally asked him why. He told me that when he was in the service during the Korean war that when he came off the line the SA gave them coffee and doughnuts for free. The red Cross made them sign a chit that the soldiers would pay them XX.XX on pay day.
He said he always gave them SA as much as he could afford to make up for all the free coffee he an his buddies got. He never gave a dime to the Red Cross and I never did after that.

I was in the Army during the Korean war. On pay day, when I went to get my pay, there was always a can on the pay officer's desk. And as I received my pay I would always get the remark, "Soldier, you WILL donate to the Red Cross."
Red Cross hasn't got a cent out of me since I got out of the Aermy.

“Soldier, you WILL donate to the Red Cross.”
Then it was not a donation, it was extortion. I would have said so, and maybe you did. When someone says I *WILL* do something, you can bet I probably WON’T.
