The American Cancer Society (ACS) is the richest charity in the world
with assets of over $1.3 billion. Their executives in several states earn 6
figure salaries, including fringe benefits, travel expenses and pensions.
After extravagant salaries, overhead and marketing, the rest of their budget
goes to “research,” much of it spent on fraudulent animal experimentation
which cannot be extrapolated to human beings, but is a huge part of Big
Pharma’s multi-billion dollar vivisection industry.
Over 35 billion dollars have been spent on animal experimentation in search
of a cancer cure in spite of the fact that vivisectors know that finding a
cure to cancer by torturing animals is scientifically impossible.
Nevertheless, ACS continues to solicit donations purporting to be looking
for a “cure” which is always “just around the corner” if only the public
will give them more money.
Even though political donations from a charity are illegal, ACS donates tens
of thousands of dollars a year to both political parties and spends an
average of $5 million in lobbying expenses.
