I also do an annual donation to my local animal shelter.

ASPCA brought in $248,084,000 last year and spent $221,271,000. $83,000,000 in salaries and almost $40,000,000 in advertising. Your local shelter could probably use the money more

sarah mclachlan doesn't sing for free you know.
Roughly 75% of their incoming donations go towards their programs. They do good work, they pay their people well, they advertise a lot to raise awareness and keep the donations flowing. I've got no issues with that.
As I said, I also donate to my local shelter.
