Hello everyone. After new (to me) information has come to light and further research has conducted, I need to offer everyone in and supporting us as an organization a massive apology.
For a long time, we have publicly supported the ASPCA. It was my firm belief that they had saved millions of animals and used their vast wealth and resources for the greater good. It has come to my attention that this is **not** the case.
The ASPCA has been found to kill more animals than I was led to believe.
The ASPCA has only spent less than 10% of their revenue towards aiding local animal welfare groups, while spending triple that on advertisements.
The ASPCA has engaged in deceptive advertising/marketing to make people believe they fund local SPCAs; They do not. They are not the umbrella organization they lead people to believe they are.
In recent years, they have hired on former PETA members and members of similar extremist organizations.
I know an apology isn't enough. I am going to completely change the way we handle our charity structure. **No further donations will go to the ASPCA.** Any purchase of any merchandise, which will be available again soon, will go to **YOUR** local shelter/SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) based on your shipping address. If you do purchase something and wish to support a SPECIFIC shelter or a different charity, send me a message.
I've taken credit, unintentionally as it may be, for many good things that have happened in our fight, where it is undeserved and needs to go to our other staff and our wonderful friends, one in particular who has gone far above and beyond the call of duty, but when it comes to wrongdoing, I need make one thing clear: ***This is my fault entirely.*** Nobody else on the staff suggested the ASPCA. None of our supporters suggested it to me. This was my decision as the CEO of this company and mine ***alone***, and it is a drastic mistake I will not repeat.
It isn't Legalize Cow Punching that needs to do better, as the wonderful staff and supporters of this organization have done incredibly; it is me, and I am committed to doing better research, learning more about what we need to know in our fight against this great evil in our world, and making more of my own moves, with more education and thought to them.
Thank you for your continued support, and for hearing me out.
Skyler Amadeus Jefferson,
CEO
