The point of cross-posting John Yates' letter is to let the dog loving community know that there is a tremendous amount of money in the Helmsley trust that is supposed to be distributed to organizations that "help" dogs.
Personally, I do not believe that an organization that euthanizes 85-90% of the animals it "rescues" is helping them. Imagine how far those billions could go if they were distributed to local animal shelters and rescues? If you are concerned about the issue and want to make sure the money goes to a group or organization that you believe helps dogs, perhaps even a Yorkie Health Foundation, then you should write to the Helmsley trustees at the address given in the first post. |
