He worked for a small charity before joining Red Cross. He worked in admin for a year before they found that the funding was pulled. Each of the directors paid themselves about 50K each before they shut the charity down. I can of course cannot show you proof if you demand one from me, so you can believe me or not. Point is, the directors of these charities are no saints.

(I don't agree with you about mutts though.)
