From ANIMAL PEOPLE, May 2011:

Camel Rescue Centre

Thanks so much for publishing “Camel Rescue Centre in India
is world’s first,” such an interesting and well researched article.
One important point is that the idea for the Camel Rescue Centre
originated from Janine Vogler, president of Animaux Secours in
Arthaz, France. She has always been particularly concerned about
the condition of the camels in Rajasthan, and additionally about the
poverty of the camel owners. In 2008 it was Vogler who said that she
would find the money if Help In Suffering could buy the land and
build the Camel Rescue Centre.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 2005:

The British Advertising Standards Authority on December 6,
2005 upheld complaints against the Europeans for Medical Progress
anti-vivisection pamphlet Our Children’s Health. The Association of
Medical Research Charities and Research Defence Society argued that
Our Children’s Health includes five misleading claims, such as that
“Treatment of childhood leukemia has improved dramatically, thanks
entirely to ingenious research on cell and tissue cultures–not to
animal experiments.” Europeans for Medical Progress “supported its
claim with examples of research from the early 20th century,” wrote
Guardian science correspondent Alok Jha. “The Advertising Standards
Authority considered that ‘Readers are unlikely to regard research
conducted in the 1940s and 1950s to be recent improvements.'”

The American Association of Equine Practitioners and the
Foundation for Biomedical Research on December 6, 2005 announced at

University veterinary clinical sciences chair Rick DeBowes told media
about degenerative conditions often shared by horses and humans. FBR
founder and thoroughbred breeder Frankie Trull said the joint
campaign will include “30-second television public service
announcements narrated by cowboy poet and veterinarian Baxter Black,”
along with “trading cards, bookmarks, and a barn poster,” reported
Kimberly S. Herbert, editor of the online magazine
<www.TheHorse.com>.

Individual Compensation
(Chief executives &/or top-paid staff & consultants)

Nonprofit chief executive salaries rose 2.2% in fiscal 2004,
according to a national survey by the Nonprofit Times. Fundraisers’
salaries rose 15%, said the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
The Pay column below is information taken from the IRS Form
990 filings of those organizations listed in “Who gets the money?”
that have filed Form 990. Since balance sheets rarely include
equivalent data, and nations other than the U.S. do not require
public disclosure of individual compensation, no compensation data
is presented for other organizations. Pay combines salaries,
benefit plan contributions (if any), and expense accounts for the
few people who are not required to itemize expenses. Some
independent contractors such as attorneys, accountants, and
consultants are listed as well as directors and regular staff.
Included below are chief executive officers, highest paid
staff if other than chief executives, and other top-paid staff of
note, for example often quoted in news coverage, as well as close
relatives of top-paid staff who may also be in leadership positions.
Chief executives who claim no compensation are listed as
OthrIncm, short for “has other income.” Where possible, the
occupations of those who have other work are identified. Others are
most often retired, supported by a spouse, or have investment
income. Some may receive royalties and/or speaking fees.
