People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
August 19, 2011

PETA thinks that no people should have companion animals. Not only do they think that most cats & dogs should be killed in shelters, but they have their volunteers go out and do just that.
Remember the situation last year where several members picked up live cats & dogs in North Carolina and were caught stiuffing them into a dumpster after they killed them! (The shelter was told that PETA was interested in re-homing them.)

The Great!

The Humane Society of the United States
August 19, 2011

I dislike HSUS because: they do not sponsor any sanctuary directly, they are a lobbying group.
ALSO, they pay their executives far too much of my hard-earned money.
A half million dollars PLUS for a president who is so full of himself!???
One who CLAIMS to work for the benefit of the animals, yet befriends and speaks highly of a FELON. (Michael Vick, who did not serve enough time for his crimes.)

Best Friends Animal Society
August 19, 2011

I have been a member supporting Best Friends for several years, and when I actually saw the work they do, it impressed me even more than their excellent publications.
All the animals are well-treated, healthy and socialized carefully. As a volunteer, I was taught the correct way to do some things I thought I knew.
My trip to see this sanctuary was the highlight of my vacation, and I hope to volunteer for them again--perhaps even long-distance!

The Great!

FRISKYS WILDLIFE & PRIMATE SANCTUARY INC
August 19, 2011

This is the most well-organized and well-run charity I have ever seen. The animals are all very well taken care of, and the place is clean and neat. Although I understand why the average person would want to have a wild animal as a "pet" it is the volunteers at Frisky's who have the full responsibility of taking care of them, when they eventually give them up. Frisky's is a truly spiritual sanctuary for wildlife and injured animals. The people there are very special.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The care of the animals brought to them by Animal Control officers and the public.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Give them more land and more money so they can be less stressed.

Life-changing

How did you learn about this organization?

There were some negative reports in the local newspaper, saying the Sanctuary's NEW neighrbors objected to wildlife being rehabilitated there. All I knew was that the Sanctuary has been there for more than 20 years, and the NEW neighbor was trying to force them to give up the primates. Seeing the entire operation made me realize those neighbors are ignorant of the work being done there. This is a holy and sanctified place!
