Okies – firstly, they’re not animal rights organisations – in fact they’re kinda the opposite to animal rights.
Secondly, when you say ‘each individual… organisation’ – do you mean each organisation in Australia, or do you just want a couple of examples, or do you have a particular organisation in mind?
Okies – well Lethabarb runs about $70 a bottle. So $20 would be about a days worth of pets in most ‘high-kill’ environments.
$100 is a perfectly reasonable amount to get a PR company to copy write and release a media release. In fact, it would likely be more unless you had a good working relationship with someone.
Transport and euthanasia is billed out to local councils at a rate of about $20-$40 for transport, $60 for cremation. If you were to cremate your own pet, your bill would likely be above $200 – but you would be getting the retail rate.
Cat traps run about $40-$60 each.
The interaction between a high-kill shelter and a local council will be for a tender worth from the region of $100k – through to several million dollars. $500 for a sales pitch lunch is chicken feed.
Pet ‘ambulances’ are the rebrand of the old ‘dog catchers van’ – for high-kill shelters with numerous pound contracts, these vehicles can bring in up to 90% of intakes. Each one will need a full time driver/A/C officer. While the vehicles sometimes donated, upkeep would absolutely be an overhead.
$5,000 for a primary school class would pay for the ‘education department’ resources and the staff member to visit on site.
Often bequests – left by people who wanted their money to be used to save pets – are invested in building ‘education centres’. There has never been a study in Australia to demonstrate that educating children in these settings results in more pet-capable kids, but ask any kid who the RSPCA is, and you’ll find they get some pretty good brand recognition by targeting the young.
Could you please provide evidence of these costs for each individual animal rights organisation, or did you just pull these numbers from your head?

I would just like to know where you pulled these number from.
