Further down in my post I also posted that I know the donations help with the problem- and I'm glad you actively help to. I have drained my savings transporting pups from our pound to other rescues to avoid the gas chamber, so I also do both. My post wasnt directed at you or anyone in particular. Its just my opinion & some other ideas for the titles of posts made. But when it comes right down to it if rules are set up on how posts can be made & what in detail can be posted people probably will go somewhere else for freedom of posting. If one donating member feels they can talk about a accident or abuse pertaining to a animal & another donating member doesnt want to hear about it....Its puppy politics & we just all have to try to meet in the middle or move around w/out colliding. I enjoy all the posts in one way or another, life is a learning experience to me & I try not to be over sensitive. Because so many times when I have gotten offended I have found the person really wasnt intending that & infact wasnt even talking about me at all.

God made everyone different. We all have different ways of thinking and reacting and living life. I have learned so much in the past 2 years of having TJ and Roxy. And not just about Yorkies, I have learned alot about everything in this world and I do want to learn more and help more where I can.

Unfortunate, I am overly sensitive, especially when it come to animal abuse and neglect - and my family and my friends. And as much as I would love to be able to read any story and learn and grow from it, I can't. Those images that my mind has created from reading those words haunt me for days. Sadness for that story (whether it be animal or human) consumes me for a few days, and it sucks. I do as much as I can in the way of cash contributions and care packages and I am very proud it of it. I also spread the word to whom ever I feel can benefit from it. I also do plan on teaching any children I might have the 'right' way to treat all of Gods creations.

Sorry for ranting...I just got very upset over some of the things said here in this thread.

All we were asking for is a word of Caution for Cruelty Stories (of any kind)that might be too graphic for the sensitive members.

The "Girl finds missing dog's head in box at house" was the actual title on CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/15/dog...ap/index.html), if "Graphic Content" would have been added to that, that may have helped, but anyone clicking on that thread would know what that thread was all about based on the thread title. It was not a "HELP ME NOW"-type thread title to try and fool any members.

This news story was covered by all the media outlets and there are members here that want to discuss it. This topic does not break any YorkieTalk rules, and there are plenty of other threads regarding animal abuse on YT as well.

If members want to report posts with inappropriate or misleading titles, we can then correct the title. Actions may be taken against members that continuously mislabel their threads.

I was not implying any rules were broken, nor was I aware it was national news until I clicked on the one million post thread and saw the CNN link. (If you think about it, that is one heck of a misleading title :p)
Congratulations on a huge milestone!

Like I said in an earlier post, I just hope people can make gentler titles, nothing more.

Thank you for your response.
