I was referring to school books and such, but that's good, you already seem to do enough as it is, I don't believe that donating money is a wise choice.

I usually make donations to animal shelters, food, blankets, health aid and such.

When I was 12 I decorated a shoe box, and wrote "Animal fund" on it. Saved up loose change or my mom would throw in some. A year later I had 200 dollars in change and some dollar bills saved up. We went to the ASPCA and I handed over the box, the lady gave me a booklet of a kitten, and a poster, and then told me to go pick out a kitten in one of the open cage room things in the back, so I picked this all grey fluffy kitten, and she's "congratulations, you just got a kitty neutered today!"

Made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Then I learned what neutered meant when I asked my mom in the car, and I felt bad. :P

Poor little kitty has no more nuts.

I didn't know what it meant, while reading I was thinking about "nurtured" and was like "awww", now I'm like poor kitten :thumbdown:

but wouldn't it be wiser for them to spend the money in food and such?

People want to buy pets already vaccinated. This includes neutered and spayed.

I wouldn't want a neutered pet (dog) but I guess that depends on the owner.

Anyway here you don't buy pets at a shelter, you adopt them

The population of homeless cats/kittens is extremely high. They have like 10 kittens at a time, and then the owners don't want them and throw them on the street.

Some of the kittens will die. Some of them will get picked up by a 4 year old crying to mommy and daddy and they'll keep it.

And the rest. We'll.. they will make more kittens, or end up in the ASPCA or other places. Thus needing MORE food.

If we reduce the number of stray's then we reduce the need for more food, and more space for these non-profit save a stray's.

this song pretty much describes the way i see "charity" as far as shit like USA for Africa, Live Aid, etc.


from the album "pictures of starving children sell records" by chumbawamba



Product sells, People die
Same manipulation wrapped in lies
Give a little money and play your rock and roll
The biggest prizes to the biggest fools
In keeping with the fashion for charity, not change
Here's our contribution: we've called it Slag Aid
For every pop star that we slag off today
A million pounds will be given away!
Paul McCarney - Come on Down!
With crocodile tears to irrigate this ground
Make of Ethiopia a fertile paradise
Where everyone sings Beatles songs and buys shares in EMI
Freddie Mercury - This is Your Life!
Thank the Lord that you were born white
And thank apartheid for this wonderful opportunity
To peddle your hypocrisy in Sun City
David Bowie - The Price is Right!
A suitful of compassion and a gobful of shite
Still the voices of those who doubt
Coca-Cola for the peasants to end this drought
Jagger and Richards - Game for a Laugh!
Dancing us down the garden path
To a place where money grows on trees
Where cocaine habits are financed by hunger and disease
Ask the puppet-masters who pull the strings
"Who makes the money when the puppets sing?"
Ask the corporations "Where does the money go?"
Ask the empty bellied children "What are we singing for?"
A Cliff Richard - 3,2,1!
The God who remains when the religion's gone
Cliff, we've got a special surprise for you today
So come closer, step this way
Cliff, you're such an example of moral worth
Such a purist saint come to bless our Earth
That on behalf of our viewers watching telly
And on behalf of the millions with empty bellies
We're donating something special that we're all going to like:
Cliff Richard, we're going to nail you up to a cross tonight!!
I know there must be more
Than giving just a little bit more
When half of this world is so helplessly poor
Starved of a real solution -
Only charity and tradition
And the cycle of hungry children
Will keep on going round...
