ASPCA

Animals play an important role in the lives of many people. Children learn respect for another being and a rewarded with a friend. Families enrich their lives with these new additions who often provide uncompromising love and affection. But like any living being, there are responsibilities and costs. Part of the responsibility is to recognize that animals don't understand how we higher level beings have certain rules and so have to be dealt with fairly and with understanding. If we're going to undertake ownership of an animal, the ASPCA wants us to be responsible and not be abusive. The same goes for not using animals for horrendous, unethical thrill and profit seeking endeavors (do you hear me, Mike Vick)!

I think the ASPCA ranks as an important institution for assisting animals, particularly pets, in need. Society should think about The Beatles "When I'm 64" song to better understand that aging animals deserve the same respect that our senior citizens should receive when they become more defenseless and in need.

I will never donate to such money sucking ceo. Really, the ceo is worth that? I'm not paying for that!

Instead of showing the good job they do. They show how bad the pets look when they find them. Insane

The ceo Matt makes $424 dollars an hour. So. Where exactly does all the money people donate go?! Why exactly does the ceo of a donating organization make $424 dollars an hour

Today, on July 4,2023, I was stopped by 2 ASPCA donation reps upon entering and exiting my neighborhood pet supply store. I really wasn't in the position to donate at the time after purchasing food for my cat. However, being a pet owner on a budget, I asked if I could make a one-time donation instead of having to donate on a monthly basis (considering I also didn't want the hassle of having to cancel a subscription later on) and I was pretty much conned into making a $25 donation that included a monthly subscription anyway. Later, I realized after researching online that I could have made a one-time donation in "any amount" after I was made to feel like it was completely impossible to do face-to-face! I also read that only 77 cents of every dollar actually go towards the care of the animals and that the CEO is making $800,000 + a year! None of this made any sense to to me - a person who wasn't in the position to give in the first place! To make matters worse, I called the company to cancel my monthly subscription only to find that the office was closed today, July 4th - meanwhile, their reps are working to collect donations today. Unfortunately, this whole experience has completely changed my mind about donating to a charity such as the ASPCA ever again! My response will be a flat out "NO" next time!

Why should I donate to this fund when the CFO is paid one million dollars a year. He should give back

If the person st the top is making $800,000., their concern is not for the animals! THAT IS JUST PLAIN COMMON SENSE! If it was they would be giving a share of that back!
