Do you know how expensive it is to make those commercials and to get celebrities on them? The ASPCA spends more money on keeping their administrators in the lap of luxury and keeping those commercials on air than they do actually helping those animals and obviously they are still making money off of it because they keep airing those commercials.
I just change the channel. If you want to help animal shelters then I would suggest donating to your local shelters. A monetary donation would go to directly benefit the animals as well as donations of food and time. Those shelters don't get squat from the ASPCA and barely get any state funds. If you want to help animals, a $5 donation to an animal shelter will go much further to helping animals than a $50 donation to the ASPCA.
Don't let yourself be guilted into donating to organizations that care more about their administrators than they do about the potential beneficiaries themselves. Do your research and know where your money will be best spent.
No, you're the moron if you're willing to settle for your money doing less than it actually can rather than putting effort into finding an outlet in which the money could be utilized in a better fashion (I.e. researching charity groups or local shelters).
These companies utilize these emotional footages to sway you out of your money and spend most of it on admin and advertising whereas donating that money to a local shelter would almost guarantee that most if not all of it will go to food and shelter expenses. That's $4.50 of your $5.00 rather than $.10 of it actually going to the animals. You're comfortable with that? A fool would be comfortable with your mentality, I am no such fool.
What do you feel about the animal cruelty commercials?

Don't donate to those organizations.

A lot of their footage is fake or industry standard (the 'cruelty' is a necessity in some instances). They play on people's ignorance.
Your a fucking moron dude. Even if a small amount is getting to the animals it's better than NOTHING AT ALL.
