I believe in helping others who are less fortunate than we are. However, many of the "charitable" organizations listed have a very well paid staff and board of directors! Mind telling use how much of our donations actually go to help someone besides the "staff"!!?

Rather than blasting all charities, why not name the ones you are concerned about? And while you're at it, why not have guts enough to use your real name rather than hide behind "Citizen"?

Well Im glad they finally got rid of the Valley Humane director who was making $70,000 a yr. they decided they couldn't afford him anymore. I couldn't believe it when I heard he made so much for sitting in an expensive offsite office and going out to lunch. Living in Danville. It's supposed to be about the unfortunate animals.

That director didn't leave yesterday. That was 5 years and three directors ago. Get over it. You're doing a big disservice to a well-run organization that a lot for homeless animals.

Tom, don't tell me what to "get over".
It's not up to you to decide that.
You have no idea how I dedicate my
life for homeless animals. You have no
idea my volunteer record at VHS.
There are lots of animal advocates that
have broken off from them and do a great
job without taking money for their own gain.
