Do You Donate To These Charities That Run Ads On TVs In The Evening Showing Suffering Children or Suffering Animals That Need Help?

Cause there is a very detailed article on a website called The Burning Platform about “Big Charity Scams” where that money goes. To executive salaries and huge amounts to employees. These charities are setting on billions of dollars of assets and still begging money off of kind-hearted people who are buying into it. It’s sickening and I already knew they were scams. When they use the word suffering they draw it out to get our sympathy.

I purchase food and donate it to local animal shelters. The scammers who pay for those ads use very little of the money to actually help animals. Most of the big charities have a poor record of using the money for the correct purpose.

@joe438 something that some of the shelters also need is small fleece blankets like are rolled up and sold at Walmart for little money. They put a bunch on clearance for about $1.50, had a big bin of them and posted a picture on Facebook and said the shelters that spay or neuter cats & dogs need those blankets for after surgery and they can only use them once since they get blood on them.

@cherokeepatti awesome- yes they do need blankets, toys and money too. The ones I talk to ask for food so that’s what I give them.

@joe438 I took a couple female feral cats to the animal shelter to be spayed and adopted. I noticed a lot of bags of pet food in different brands that people had donated.

@cherokeepatti It helps to ask them what they need rather than just buying stuff and dropping it off.
