That's how I see it.
it's like the RSPCA started out with £1 say.
people donated money to look after animals. and the money is there to treat the animals. that's what the donating people want it to be used for.

but they have millions of pounds of that very money sitting in their bank. and telling people that they have to pay for treatment.

use the money that you have in the bank that was once only £1?
no. that's not what it's there for.

same with "disasters and people dying"
they're going to die as from today if we don't donate.
even though they have millions of pounds of the very same money they asked for sitting in their bank accounts.

a true business. not really the true definition of a charity.
somebody will say you should expect to pay something in the case of the RSPCA.
but what if those millions of donators gave that money for that very reason?
so that people didn't have to pay. and the animal above all comes first?
