We need to educate people, these campaigns play on the heart strings of donors and the real question should be why after all these years are we still stuck in the same place and how much goes into paychecks and perks. Every penny needs to be accounted for. But we need to educate the public to ask lot's and lot's of questions.
These emails are working. My sister in Iowa has been inundated with these emails and was about to donate—until it occurred to her this is the organization that I told her about.
I’ll give Best Friends credit for being savvy marketers, but I wish they would redirect their efforts from “no-kill” and data that doesn't give the full picture of individual dogs suffering for years in kennels that are not adoptable. Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. It’s critical that people, corporate donors and legislatures understand the full picture.
Bev, thank you for sharing this! It’s great to hear that your sister paused to reflect before donating—it shows how important it is to have these conversations. Best Friends is indeed skilled at marketing, but as you pointed out, it’s crucial that donors, corporate sponsors, and legislators to understand the broader implications of their policies, especially when it comes to the well-being of individual animals. Your support in spreading awareness is invaluable, and together we can encourage more transparency and meaningful change in animal welfare.
Thank you, Christine, for sharing your thoughts and concerns. These are important issues that deserve serious consideration, especially when it comes to transparency, ethical practices, and the use of donor funds in animal welfare. The points you raise about the "Million Cat Challenge" and legislative efforts like AB2265 and Bowie’s Law highlight the need for accountability within organizations like Best Friends.
It’s important for donors and stakeholder to advocate for clarity on how funds are allocated and for policies that genuinely prioritize the well-being of animals. Your passion for these issues is clear, and it’s voices like yours that help ensure these critical conversations remain at the forefront. Thank you again for your engagement and for caring so deeply about the welfare of animals.
