Don't get me wrong, I think it is good that there are advocates for our fury little friends, but when I see those commercials exploiting abused animals for money I just get so mad. Sure tug at my heart stings but the money spent on the commercials could be used to help the poor little quadrupeds.
I just think it is wrong to show abused abused animals on TV to gain support, my best friend long before I got married was a small dog and I was crushed when she died. I do not understand why someone gets a pet only to abuse it and I am glad laws are in place to punish these cruel people. But I still hate seeing abused animals on a commercial as an exploit for support, surely there is a better way. I work for a non profit org in child hood cancer but we never show photos of children with cancer such as the child with no hair in order to gain support and I think we get our message out just fine without exploiting the ones who are or have been suffering.
Sorry, had to rant...:wacko:
