What percent of all Charitable donations are given to the funding of animal causes?
Less than 1% of all charitable donations are given to the funding of animal causes. This amount is grossly inadequate! The issues of animal welfare are extensive, urgent and global. Marine animals are over-fished. Companion animals are routinely abused, abandoned and then euthanized in massive numbers. Wildlife are loosing crucial habitat and some species are poached to extinction. And farm animals are subject to unthinkable treatment in order to meet the needs of our growing global human population. Unfortunately, all categories of animals face a staggering array of problems and inhumane treatment whose scope and impact continue to grow each day. Animals play a crucial role in the overall health of our planet. It is vital that we, as humans who share this earth with the animals, assume our duty and our responsibility to provide for their protection and preservation.
