I am the Executive Director of a large 501(c)3 reptile rescue in Ohio. Are you aware that the ASPCA allows us to apply for the same grants that kitty and puppy rescues can? Or that they provide operational support and resources for volunteer training, even to us?
HSUS is a far bigger threat - ASPCA actually conducts at least some activities that svae animals' lives (and I am not exactly a fan).
