| could we categorize this forum? i was wondering if there would be a way to kind of "break down" the Animal Protection and Welfare forum. it seems that there are different areas as in product safety & what not and then stuff about abuse, etc. which i cannot stand to read. yes, there are usually warnings about graphic pics, etc. but even some of these words are so disturbing i wish i never came across them. i do understand it'd be a long, tedious task, so maybe we could just do it for future threads? thanks, christina

Do you think that would help with not seeing the more sad thread titles?

The only problem I have is that there are so few people that visit the Protection and Welfare forum. It's relegated to 'down there' and it seems most avoid it. I wish it weren't so but I suppose some can't stand the upset it can cause. Strange, though, since this is an animal lovers site. How can we make anything better without being willing to face the truth about these issues? I noticed the same thing in other threads. In the 'kitty kitty' thread, some say "oh, I can't watch that, but where can I sign the petition?" And how many are against puppy mills but don't want to see images from one and really be informed? Sorry if this sounds like a little bit of a rant...I guess it is. I just don't see much good coming from burying our heads in the sand.

i'm all for educating those that do not know, but i know. and when you abuse another human or animal in my eyes it is all abuse, it all needs to be stopped, and i'll still feel that way even if i am spared the gruesome details.

| I'm like Princess10 and can only stand so much each day - I can't any of it some days. I have to stay out of those sections at times as am not physically or psychologically able to face it in present situation. |

| Princess10, I wasn't directing anything at you personally. It was more of a general vent....just wishing that more attention was paid in general with some of these issues. It is difficult to see some of these things, I know and I know most people do care. It just sometimes feels like talking to the wind by posting in that forum.

i can see how it may feel like talking to the wind, that forum doesn't yet get that much traffic. i don't know if maybe some people feel like i do in approaching it...some can't deal with it, some wont and some don't care. it's just sad that there even has to be that section anyways.
