| Thread Titles Are Killing Me!!!!! I don't know if there is a rash of meanness lately or what, but so many threads are about horribly sad things. Dead puppies, throwing them off cliffs, killing them, beating them...jeez. I realize that there are a lot of sickos in this world, but I can't read the stories. Just reading the titles get me depressed.

| I always thought this was supposed to be a fun and caring place to come. Sometimes, it is really depressing. Just knowing that bad things happen to animals because of sick people is sad enough, but to have to see it in print makes it that much worse. I am choking up now and I haven't even read anything but a thread title. Sorry - remember, I'm the one that can't even kill a fly - I have to stun it and throw it outside so it gets another chance.

| I get even more upset when someone posts a link to something awful and doesn't preface it with a warning. I'm all for "warning" labels in titles and before something very sad, upsetting or horrific is posted. I' would appreciate "Warning-May Be Upsetting" in titles.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Well, since this seems to be directed at me - guess I better reply. I took almost the exact title used BY the Marine Corps Times own news: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news..._video_030308/ I understand how upsetting the content is, but since when is this site supposed to be.....only about certain things? Where is that said? What else, then, shall we censor? There are things I don't like seeing on here (certain subjects), but I would never raise my hand and say "why are these things allowed to be posted?" - bc maybe they are important to others. I don't mean to start something here - bc I do respect how this makes you feel. But the subject of animal cruelty, while heartbreaking, is rampant - and happens to be pretty important to a lot of folks here.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | One more thing: I don't believe in "softening" that kind of news, personally. It's a horrid act - and softening it's delivery, imho, just further disrespects the creature who suffered in the first place. I will use some kind of "warning" or something in the future - but I don't believe in trying to tone down the title - the facts are the facts. And I'm very sorry for having to "report" them, believe me.

Your right of course but I think so many sad stories have appeared in the last couple of days, one on top of the other, we are all being affected more so I would say. No reflection on you but just in general I would think. | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I completely hear you there. There are times when I can only read a snippet, and that's all I have room for - it really just depends on how "full" I am. After the "China Fur" video that was on YT for a while, I really couldn't open a lot of content for quite a bit - just didn't have room for it. I know where you're coming from, I really do. At the same time, it won't stop me from pushin' the cause!

| Hmm, I'm with both sides but then I started thinking... if we soften reality than it does not have the alarming effect, if it does not have the alarming effect than it becomes tolerated, or silent .... if it becomes tolerated or silent then it becomes rampant... if it becomes rampant ... it could be too late to fix it ... Just a thought...

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | LOL, I won't! I think I took the original post too personally - and Betty's Mom didn't direct at me (nor did anyone), which I originally kind of thought. So, now I kind of feel like an oversensitive arse. Good discussion, either way.

I know the stories are hard to hear but if we all ignore them than these psycho paths get away with it!!! The only way it will stop is if animal lovers, like us, ban together and DEMAND stronger consequences for offenders!!! I am sorry if I offended anyone | |
