Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Whoo hooo! We're breaking out the big guns! Antis' Funding Growing March 24, 2008 (National) Anti-hunting organizations continued to see increases in their charitable donations for the year 2006, giving them more money to use in their fight against the outdoor sporting heritage of the nation.Donations to the animal rights movement in 2006 increased by five percent over the previous year, according to research done by the Animal Agriculture Alliance.Some of the largest increases were seen by the most recognized of the anti’s. Donations to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) increased by 17 percent, from $25.8 million to $30.2 million. Humane Society of America donations went from $119.9 million to $130.2 million, an increase of nine percent.“Many of these donations are made by people that think they are just helping to spay and neuter dogs and cats, the family pets,” said Rick Story, senior vice president of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA). “Most don’t understand the true agendas of these anti-hunting groups and continue to fund their war against the sportsmen’s way of life.”Only two organizations researched by the Animal Agriculture Alliance showed a decrease in funds. The Massachusetts SPCA decreased from $49.6 million in 2005 to $46.9 million in 2006. The Animal Legal Defense Fund’s donations decreased $200,000 year over year. Both organizations sustained a five percent decrease.Financial information used in this report is for the year 2006, and is the most recent available. http://pets.Fortheanimals7/join Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
