My Nonprofit Reviews

As a long-time volunteer and animal advocate, I can't stand rescues and leaders that don't actually advocate for animals. Everyone should know that Donna, the director of Bad Rap, an Oakland advocacy group I have supported for years, spends time actively defending backyard breeders who don't spay and neuter. In addition, she defends the use of punitive tools such as prong collars and believes the deadly Iditarod is justifiable. This isn't someone who should be in charge of any animal organization, yet we see this all the time in animal rescue. Despite some of the great work this organization has done, in my experience, leaders like this are a clear indication that an organization is not a good one to support. May each animal in the care of this person/group be wrapped in gentle protection and kindness.
