Facebook and Animal Cruelty - YorkieTalk.com Forums

There have recently been posts on FB with horrible pictures of animals being abused, used in medical experiments, shark bait, etc. I never knew such horrible cruelty was so widespread. I am also disturbed that I have always been so naive about puppy mills, pet stores, animal abuse, etc. What can we do to make a difference. But then I feel guilty because of the same type of abuse of humans. Oh dear, now I'm depressed. Does anyone else feel this way or has felt this way. Did you find a constructive solution to change the feeling of hopeless, helplessness into something more positive? I'd love to hear others opinions, frustrations, solutions, etc.
Thanks for listening.

Animal cruelty upsets me so much!

I can't stand to hear about it or see it in the news. I think it is awful such things are being posted on facebook. I don't know anything about facebook but is there a way to report things like this? I don't have a facebook so I don't know. I think you are right, it is very depressing. The sad thing is that most states don't have tough enough laws for animal cruelty. I always think if they had the same thing done to them maybe they would think twice before doing it to an animal!!
