I think this is a real great blog article.Much thanks again. Want more.
]]>These are from a local animal shelter’s plea for money:
Please keep in mind, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and do not receive any help from ASPCA, HSUS, PETA, etc. We need your donations to help keep our doors open so we can continue helping local homeless pets as we have for the past 30-plus years. Specify who your tax-deductible donation is for with complete address where notification or acknowledgment should be sent and your complete address. We will do the rest.
This is from another shelter:
We’ve all seen the Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercials — and become numb to them. Don’t get us wrong, we want to help the animals, but we’re not really sure how the horrific images and sad song really does anything for local shelters. But when Charleston Animal Society and C. Wonder team up on Fri. May 30, we’ll know where the money goes. And you get a little something too for helping out the cause — breakfast and 10 percent off your full-price purchases. During the hours of 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., C. Wonder (285 King St.) will donate 20 percent of the event’s proceeds to the shelter.
A third shelter said this:
Make CHS Your Pet Project
The Casper Humane Society is not supported by city, state, or national funds (including The Humane Society of the United States). All revenue comes from donations, bequests, memorials, adoption fees, and fund drives.
The problem with national animal rights groups is that the talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk.
They just seem to be in it for the money. If you want to help animals, give to your local shelter.
