Where Is The Outrage?

I am truly bewildered by the devotees of Grey2K USA.  Perhaps repeated recitations by their beloved leader proclaiming her purported miraculous resurrection from the dead and subsequent realization of her true vocation to help save greyhounds has so awed these disciples that they are blind to the truth. Even when the truth smacks them upside the head, they refuse to accept or even acknowledge it. Why is it so much easier to believe that an outdated photograph or graphic video clip implying nefarious abuse represents the norm in greyhound racing today?  How is it that hundreds of current images, videos and testimonials posted daily, showing the loving care bestowed upon these canine athletes, are dismissed as hogwash?  Yet every day, these self-righteous Branch Dorchakians, most of whom have no direct experience with greyhound farms or racing, continue to empty their wallets believing they are somehow helping a worthy cause. But, do these SHEEPLE really know where their hard earned dollars are being spent?

Recently compiled data gives credence to what has been long suspected regarding Grey2K's financial activities. While it has been suggested that they do not give a dime to help greyhound adoption, it appears that they have indeed contributed a portion of their ill gotten gains over the years - an infinitesimal portion. Unfortunately, there is no information on the reports regarding the recipients of these contributions - maybe their cohorts at PeTA or HSUS?

For the six year period, 2006 to 2011, Grey2K USA's publicly available IRS Forms 990 reveal revenue from donations of approximately $2,220,l00.  Over this same period, expenses exceeded $2,201,000. What, pray tell, did they spend this money on? Here's the breakdown.

$599,402 (27.2%) for Salaries and Payroll Related Expenses (primarily Dorchak & Theil)

$585,866 (26.6%) for Lobbying

$379,652 (17.2%) for Printing & Postage

Another 27.6% of the total was allocated to office related expenses, advertising and marketing, insurance, travel, and professional fees for service.

Where are the contributions, you ask? Over this SIX YEAR period, reported contributions were $31,451- an average of $5,242 per year or......  a whopping 1.4%!

Over TWO MILLION DOLLARS was collected and a miserly 1.4% given in contributions. This is helping to save greyhounds HOW? While all volunteer adoption groups survive on cookie jar donations...

HOW many greyhounds slated for adoption could have been spayed or neutered, had a dental or had a blood test with $2 MILLION?

HOW many injured greyhound legs could have been repaired with $2 MILLION?

HOW many hauls to adoption groups could have been made with $2 MILLION?

HOW many greyhounds could have been temporarily housed, fed, and cared for in adoption kennels while waiting for available homes with $2 MILLION?

HOW many greyhounds, deplorably abused and abandoned by derelict adopters, and taken back with open arms by adoption groups could have been rehabilitated with $2 MILLION?

The list is endless. I'm not one to tell people how to spend their money, but if I were a Grey2K donor, I WOULD BE OUTRAGED!



Yours in greyhounds....
