Question Warning For Threads About Animal Cruelty-- Please?

I love animals, and it damages me emotionally to hear about animal cruelty news. I am sure I am not the only person significantly disturbed by these kinds of threads. I try to gauge the content of a thread by the title and avoid them, but I am not always successful. Even accidentally reading people's descriptions of animal abuse haunts me for days afterwards.

Yes, I am aware that animals get abused. I prefer not to read about them because a lot of the time it is all done and there is nothing I can do. I know some members deal with their frustration by sharing it here, which is perfectly fine. I prefer to donate to organizations that have the strength to deal with these cases, and I'd rather not find out about it at all.

Is it possible to ask members to use an abbreviation such as "AA" (animal abuse) or something similar in the title when they start these threads? Or, perhaps there could be a new icon to warn the other members about the content?

What do you guys think? What do you say Admin?
