ASPCA

Several years ago, Most of these animal protection / adoption agencies ( ASPCA, ETC.) offered very low cost spay and neutering, and their price to adopt homeless animals was very reasonable. Now, however, their prices are almost as expensive as pet shops and private breeders! These agencies are trying to put pet shops, " back yard breeders", and regular breeders out of business. It seems obvious to me that their goal is to run breeders out of business while they take over the business!

The so called saving of animals by aspca is so bogus. They only spend a few cents for the animals the people running the bogus company make hundreds of thousands a year plus bonuses. I wouldn't give to these people ever there are legitimate companies that acts help animals but aspca isn't one

I appreciate what the ASPCA does for animals but I don't care for the fact that they ask existing donors (been donating for years), for more money. I'm on a fixed income & I hear that not as much goes toward the animals as we are led to believe. Tell the CEO & his bigwigs to dig deep in their pockets.

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

This organization is not what it seems. When I donate, I give to my locate Humane Society because I know where their money goes and how they treat the animals.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has something it doesn't want you to know. Raising over $400 million a year from those weepy Sarah McLachlan commercials, the ASPCA spends little of that money on sheltering pets across America. The ceo makes over $800k an year! Instead of supporting animal welfare, the ASPCA is quickly converting to the largest PETA-like animal "liberation" group in the United States. (And the Humane Society of the United States, which runs similar ads, is even worse) don't give money to these rip off cons, give to you local shelter!

Had a friend that needed help with their animals after a devastating hurricane and they said that they couldn't help that they only take donations. Not help others

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

This has nothing to do with the poor animals I know ASCPA TAKES EXCELLENT CARE OF ALL ANIMALS AND SAVES AS MANY AS THEY CAN FROM ABUSE AND HOMELESS ANIMALS TO GIVE THEM ALL SAFE AND CARING AND LOVING HOMES...It has to do w/ how ASCPA DOSE there donation for people when you change your donation they should change it not take out more then they are supposed to that is what they did to me & the manager said. Miss Berman we will refund your $50.00 dollars. They only refund me $20.00 dollars. The manager lied to me. So, that is it. Sure I give ASCPA a 10 RATING for helping all the ANIMALS... BUT GIVE ASCPA A 0 ON HOW THEY CONDUCT THERE BUSINESS W/ PEOPLE WITH THERE DONATION...

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 have pulled my funding and have applied it to other areas. In a non-profit organization, a CEO should not be making as much as they have reported...over $800,000.00

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

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

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!
