Donkey & Dog Charities!! where does the money go?

[gazmix]

Hi

 

Yeh, we see them on tv like the Brooke Donkey Charity caring for Donkey's in Africa that have been & are been worked hard & they always show the problem from the Donkey's POV via the person talking & obviously the tugg at the heart strings as there's footage of them falling over with a heavy load on their backs & they only get a bit of water each day & this is it for the rest of their lives & the same with dogs being left by owners in houses, ill-treated etc!

 

This is all very heartbreaking for animal lovers & £3 a month isn't a lot if the money actually goes to the animals & not to the charity executive that i saw on the news thats on £100k a year.

 

So does the £3/4 go to the help towards the animals, unsure before donating?

 

cheers

It goes to wards the entire charity so it can recover the costs of what they do. It doesnt go to a specific animal. Same with any other animal charity.

Out of the £3, I would guess that only £0.50p goes towards any animals. The rest is for the charity overheads and paying executives a fancy figure. We seldom support charities and definitely not the RSPCA!

I admire what the rspca do but I prefer to donate to my local rescue centre. Charities should be just that and not a means of a highly paid career.

If you want to give to animal rescue you can always be sure your gift is used wisely by taking food or bedding to a local organisation. No way staff are going to become fat cats on that.

There are 2 animal rescue centres near me. I prefer to donate directly to them instead of the national ones.
