If you were the donating public who the organization sent information to, advocating for their specific cause, and you believed in their cause so you sent money, then you found out that "yes" was the answer to any of the above questions(from my first post), what do you think the first thing the public would do is?
Answer: stop donating money. And what effect do you think this type of information would have on the organization in question? Answer: they would lose credibility too, and that is far harder to win back from the public, when they feel they've been lied to and cheated into sending money.
No credibility = no donation money. Bottom line: unless the SPCA takes pro-active steps in earning the respect and credibilty of the donating public, they will not be able to survive financially. A huge part to this credibility issue, would be to fire those who engage in activities not consistent with SPCA policy.Then, the SPCA needs to draw up a document called a "Conditions of Employment" contract, which specifically outlines all activities that staff may not engage in or have any vested interest in, while they are affiliated with the SPCA. Anyone who works for the SPCA would need to sign this, and any breach of this contract would be cause for termination of the employment. This type of contract exists in every other company I've ever been involved with, and is considered to be standard business practice.
