Regarding "Humane Society": Isn't this the well proved way of certain
groups, pretending to save the world (Greenpeace), to help the victims, to
fight "bureaucracy", to "support" citizens  and to work for a Humane Society
to raise money, which is used in a totally different way? Sorry to say, but
I stopped donations of money for whatever purpose, except for organisations,
of which I know, that they use it to help people in underdeveloped countries
to develop on a small basis infrastructure like digging wells for clean
water, help to create small business to enable independence of a village.
Surprisingly catholic help organisations use this money nowadays for these
purposes and not to build churches - as they used to do in the past, calling
this a "mission".

Am I totally wrong, if I would call the activities of an organisation, which
organizes anti-nuclear meetings - probably paying a lot for the prominent
activists to attend and to bring forward their "arguments" - rather "fund
raising" than asking for donations?
