Do you think that it is right for those sponsers that show those pictures and videos of helpless, straving people and animals to get money? How do you know that, that money is actually going to those people and to help those animals? Because in todays day and age you know that there are con-artists out there that can show you those pictures and make you feel like you need to donate money to help them out when the money is only going in their pocket. And how do you know that they won't keep your credit card information? And why do they keep showing those commericals (informercials with that old white man in Africa, or the Jewish man somewhere the UK? Idk it doesn't seem crediable. But that is just me. What do ya'll think? Would you donate, or have you already donated? Which foundation would you support? I would support the ASPCA by adopting a dog or cat and by donating food and toys but idk about money cause i dt know where it is going.

You make some pretty good points. Another commercial they show is with that Sarah chick. The one thats a singer talking about those animals. I think that when they use a celeb though, they are being for real. But when its just a regular person, it could be a deception. But it does seem genuine to me. Otherwise it would be cruel and unusual punishment for the sufferers. Now for foundations and um sponsor things like that, I don't think I would support them. I know its a nice cause and everything, but I just can't. And I know its mean but ya lol. But certain other charities I might support.

that's very true, but the fact that some con artists are out there doesn't mean they all are. What you say is true sometimes but don't make that a general rule! Some are legitimate and the ones who are yeah they are allowed to do that. There are some organizations you can trust like red cross, or the really big ones. If everyone things like that nobody is going to get help!
