Not to mention wasn't it just discovered our local humane society was diverting funds received from our county and city budgets and using the money to fund other nonprofits ? So we give them tax money and they in turn give that money to who ever they please and have the nerve to ask people for more.

Dear Anonymous,
You made an excellent comment that absolutely deserves a response.
While you are 100% correct in everything you have stated, I'd like to make a point in which I'm hoping ALL of you will understand.
In case you hadn't noticed, I am ALL about the animals. They do not have a voice and in many ways we do everything we can to help and support their survival.
Much like my differences in the past with the Salisbury Zoo, it was NOT about Joe Albero vs. Jim Rapp, it was about the animals. Unfortunately, (to this very day) Ron Alessi and others REFUSE to accept ANY donations on our behalf. Personal OR through Salisbury News.
As for how the Humane Society spends their money, I firmly agree, they should NOT be making a $6,000.00 donation to PAC 14, (another non profit).
Our attempt to participate is in support of Cathy's Pet Salon as well. Cathy has been a very long time supporter of the Humane Society and deserves ALL the support she can get. Remember, people are making donations through items for sale, all of which will go to the Humane Society.
So see it for what it is. Agree to disagree, just as we have done. The animals need our help and support. If you'd like to come up there and meet us in person, we'll be there and we'll be happy to discuss any of these issues face to face and not hide behind anonymous.
How can one guarantee where the money will go???? I for one do not support the HS any longer. Untill Lugo leaves they won't ever have it!
ReplyDeleteThey need to do something with Lugo & then they will get support from me---not untill---Work with some of these Rescue Groups instead!!
ReplyDeleteCrooked business going on out there & that's our Tax Money being transfeered. Council is to stupid to do anything about it!!
I will not support them anymore because they are not taking care of the animals. We got a cat there about a year ago, for which we paid HS over $100, and then had to spend over $250 to treat the cat for things they were supposed to have checked for but passed on to us and refused to take responsibility or even acknowledge a problem.
ReplyDeleteI do not have an issue with them paying PAC14 though because this money was in payment for advertising the pets for adoption to get them out of the black hole that is the WCHS (the service would cost a lot more on any other station). If that's what it takes to find them good homes it's okay with me.
They do, however, need to clean house there administratively.
Do they ever add new people to the Board of Directors? Looks like the same names, year after year. Some leave, but no new ones ever get elected or appointed.
ReplyDeleteThe Wicomico HS needs to have accountability-----they have none with the money that's appropiated them. Shoddy things going on there!
ReplyDeleteI would never ever take a found dog there!! This site gets the info first or else try to get it into a Rescue Group.
Joe, When are you gonna open a no kill shelter??? We're waiting!
So much dislike for Linda Lugo. I've been saying it for years. Imagine how successful the HS could be without her.
