And PETA operates one of the highest kill rate "shelters" you'll find anywhere. Most of these left wing "animal rights" organizations are not so much for animals as they are against humanity in it for the filthy capitalist lucre.
Ever seen the salaries of the top people in these unashamedly liberal bastions of social do-goodiness? Without running a non-profit from which to pay himself an exorbitant salary, Greasy Al Sharpton would have been dead a long time ago -- of starvation. What value or skills does he have that someone would actually pay him for them? You see the same thing with PETA: The top beeyotch gets something like $400K per annum. Look at Barack Owebama on the board of the Annenberg Project. He made a good buck wasting other people's money to no avail as the Chicago Education System was still shyt even after all the millions thrown at it by that charity.
Years ago, being the new kid in the Tax Department, it fell to me to collect donations for The United Way; the company pushed for payroll deduction and basically was in competition with other corporations to see whose employees gave the most, without the employee even receiving a consolation prize. I asked a question of the rep at that time, a question one of my colleagues wanted asked. What percentage of contributions received goes toward salaries and 'expenses'? The rep said, 'I'll get back to you'. He never did.
I can't copy and paste from Snopes (which sucks), but check out the small list from November, 2012 of charities and the amounts that actually go to charity.
The one that really stuck out was the March of Dimes, where only one thin dime of every dollar contributed actually goes to charity work.
