The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals pushes"animal liberation" and an anti-meat agenda while only giving 2% of its budget to animal shelters, according to a new report.
According to a Center for the Environment and Welfare report citing the organization's most recent tax filings, the ASPCA held $390 million in revenue and $575 million in assets, including $310 million in investments and $105 million in savings in 2021. It also stashes $11 million in offshore Caribbean bank accounts. Of that money, less than $6 million went to pet shelters.
"A charity like the ASPCA that runs only one pet shelter while paying its CEO nearly $1 million per year and sitting on $300 million in investments doesn’t need or deserve donations," CEW Executive Director Jack Hubbard told the Washington Examiner.This year, the ASPCA released its lobbying agenda on the 2023 Farm Bill, where it advocates disallowing new or expanded large-scale livestock farms and a complete moratorium on the farms by 2040.
"The ASPCA should focus on helping the one million shelter pets euthanized each year instead of lobbying for radical policies, like the ASPCA's elitist, anti-agriculture Farm Bill platform," Hubbard said.
