"If we just look at how much of the spending goes toward shelter and veterinary services, and toward grants to local humane societies, it's hovering around 40%.". Thank you for supporting our journalism. A representative of the fundraising service of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Aspca) said that 80% of the donations go directly to the animals. Mittendorf says that strategy isn't wrong, but it all comes down to expectations. Both of these numbers can be found at the bottom of a check issued for your bank account. I will be the last person to condemn ALF [the Animal Liberation Front]. "If you have an open-door intake policy and welcome damaged animals who are abused, neglected, unloved, or who no one else will accept, of course your [euthanization] numbers will look different than those of a shelter that accepts a limited number of animals and turns animals away," PETA told Newsweek in an email Friday. We expended only 13.94% on fundraising efforts that drive our operations and 1.26% on management and general operations. In 2019, the ASPCA's CEO Matt Bershadker made more than $840,000.

Required fields are marked *. Its worth doing your due diligence. The ASPCA says the vast majority of donor dollars go directly toward its mission, but a CBS News investigation found there are questions about whether the money is going where donors expect. The lead attacker was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison. Replacing a cheeseburger with a veggie burger or a leather purse will not harm our wallets in any way. But that wasnt the end. Did we euthanize some animals who could have been adopted? Its not just HSUS, but groups in the medical and veterans fields have been exposed in the media in recent years. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. Six million people died in concentration camps, laments Ingrid Newkirk, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses..
