Is it just me or did anyone else become annoyed by all the ASPCA advertisement on Christmas Eve. They know we are all up wrapping gift and we were hit on every commercial break for an 18 dollar a month commitment. I’m all for responsible treatment of all animals as God created beings that give us a number of benefits including friendship but come on Sarah. I guess all the starving Kids in the world are now spoken for and completely taken care of. World hunger in our global babies has been wiped out.
Here is the financials for ASPCA. I’m glad to see folks with a giving spirit, I just think its miss directed.
This truly is my opinion and mean no disrespect of those who contribute.
Do you think that some of the worlds children are less needy today than a month ago, a year ago, a decade age?
