One of the biggest national animal charities, the ASPCA, is hoarding hundreds of millions of dollars while shelter pets are euthanized. The ASPCA is not affiliated with your local SPCA and only gives 2% of its budget to pet shelters. Translation: For every dollar donated to the ASPCA, only roughly two cents actually go to local shelters. Meanwhile, the ASPCA is sitting on over $300 million in investments—including $11 million in offshore Caribbean accounts—and pays its CEO nearly $1 million per year. Can you imagine how many animal lives we could save with that money? CharityWatch gives the ASPCA a "C-" grade. Animals deserve better. With over 1 million shelter pets euthanized every year, vulnerable pets need your help TODAY. Please sign our petition telling the ASPCA to immediately donate its $300 million in investments to local shelters and cut its CEO’s salary in half. The ASPCA needs to hear from animal lovers like YOU that animals are more important than money. Thank you for taking action to help save vulnerable pets in need!
