You need to stand up and do something about what you do not like to see otherwise you are just part of the problem
You can't turn the channel on the TV because it makes you sad. It doesn't make the cruelty go away just out of your site for that moment.
I would just like to ask you what part are you doing to make a change? The only way to make a difference it to make your voice heard. Volunteer your time, your talent, make a donation, sign a petition, help to educate those around you. Education bring power. The more people that are educated against all of the cruelty that goes on the more power there will be to make a positive change in the country.
