My Nonprofit Reviews

This used to be the most admirable animal sanctuary in the country when it was managed by Michael Mountain, but it's been a steady downhill ever since.

Gregory Castle's background more than 10 years back is a complete mystery; certainly he is not a recognized top-notch animal welfare professional. He has some vague history in church and accounting prior to his work with No More Homeless Pets in Utah.

Recently BFAS conducted a nationwide search (via a pricey head-hunter) for a Chief Marketing Officer and a Chief Development Officer -- both jobs with salaries up to $180,000. Gregory Castle's wife, a nice lady with breast cancer and no marketing experience, landed the CMO job.

Michael Mountain took an extremely modest five-figure salary during his entire tenure at BFAS, so to see six-figure salaries (which in Kanab, Utah, is completely uncalled for) becoming routine is very disturbing.

Do you want your donation of $25 or $50 to be just a pittance to these people?

And by the way, they make over $50 million/year and care for at most 2000 animals. Do the math: that's $25,000 per animal. Heck, in Kanab, Utah, you could build a small house for every animal with that much money.

Where is the money going, Best Friends?
