Do your homework and check them out on charitynavigator.com The link at the end of this article will bring you to the website for you to check on all these charities. That is a neutral site that will give you all the information about charities you inquire about without bias.
Humane Society of the United States
This is the largest animal organization in the world with hundreds of branches all over the United States and world. The main branch in the United States is in Washington DC simply because of the CORE purpose of the organization. This is a 501 (c) 3 tax exempt organization that also receives grant money from the government for designated animal efforts. Less than one percent of all donated funds actually go toward helping animals in the ways people donate money to the Humane Society of the United States. Lobbying is a heavy expenditure along with heafty salaries and lots of fringe benefits to the top people in this organization. Look online and view the tax records to verify these statements.Less than 50% of all the donors realize the funds they give does not help the animals that are pictured in the expensive ads. Furthermore many of the raids the HSUS performs actually endangers the confiscated animals because the animals are then transferred to over crowded shelters and then killed rather than saved or adopted.
United Way
President Brian Gallagher received a base salary of $1,037,410 in 2008 according to the Better Business Bureau. In addition numerous paid expenses were given to him. If you rely on snopes have a look there to verify info here. 15 years ago the United Way was the focus of scandals and then they cleaned up the mess still leaving the United Way with problems of money disbursement. The fund distribution can be compared to the Salvation Army’s Commissioner, Todd Bassett who receives a yearly salary of $64,210 in 2004 and $34,116 housing for managing the 2 BILLION dollar organization. In addition Salvation Army donates 96% of every dollar to the cause. Comparing these two organizations is not a just thing to do since it puts Todd in the same company with the United Way which is not JUST to do. Ralph Dickerson Jr. is now collecting a salary of $420,000 as the president of United Way.
American Red Cross
Former President and CEO Marsha J. Evans took a salary of $651,957 a year ending in 2004.In addition to the lofty salary, expenses were part of the package of her American Red Cross affiliation. Many problems have been stated by numerous people who have had improper dealings with the American Red Cross. Do your own research to discover where donations are spent. Eyes can be opened to some American Red Cross information by reading the wikipedia.org statements and then following up to verify those statements. Because they rely on donations you will not be able to view their financial spread sheet online, however if requested from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)government money supplied to them can be obtained if the Red Cross received any.
Unicef
Caryl M. Stern is the CEO of UNICEF. The salary is $478,645 a year as stated by the Better Business Bureau in 2009. All of the expenses are a part of Caryl’s salary.There is possible addition of a ROLLS ROYCE car costing above $200,000, however is not verifiable. Check the website rolls royce online to verify the base price of that vehicle. More disturbing is that far less of every dollar donated goes to the cause than most people know.Check this charity on Charity Navigator using the link below.Furthermore go to the website and dig deeply to view some enlightening information about Unicef that you might not know now. Read about people’s experiences to gain a lot of information too.
Peta
Prevention and Ethical Treatment of Animals is not an organization that LIKES animals. Their statistics from court records prove they actually murder, slaughter and ship out animals that are left in their possession. Newkirk has been with PETA since its conception. Her bio is enough to make an animal lover ill. Check out the 501 (c) 3 online records that will verify both the astronomical number of the killing of animals on their forms and the money issues too. Because PETA has been in so many hot situations, they have more than 3 full time paid lawyers to handle legal matters for the organization.Public court records in Virginia will divulge a little about the truth regarding PETA.

Free Country that we live in, last time I checked. ANYONE can share what they believe to be true. I am a big time rescue person for animals…. PETA is evil and kills almost 100% of all animals that enter their doors… do your homework… look at the STATE GOV records on the PETA SHELTERS, they almost lost their ability to be a shelter because they KILL the animals. They refuse to call Rescues for AKC Breeds…. they would rather kill that adopt. LOOK AT THE SPEECHES THAT THE HEAD OF PETA has given… she looks forward to killing animals, those are her words not mine.
AGAIN>>>>> EVERYONE >>>>>>> EVERYONE >>>>>> is allowed to have an say in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA… YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT BUMBCLOT… BUT>>> I BELIEVE AND WILL SHOUT IT FROM THE HOUSETOPS… PETA IS EVIL AND VIOLENT… LOOK AT WHAT ONE OF THEIR FOLLOWERS (WHICH THEY SUPPORTED) DID do a Kardashain. throwing paint and such is an assault … We need to love all beings on the Planet…..
