Graphic SPCA ads
In a bout of insomnia, I got up last night and turned VH1-Classic Music and
the SPCA showed a vivid ad about what is done to animals for meat, kitten and puppy mills etc, and me, being so totally sensitive, I had nightmares all night. Do they really think graphic ads like that will help their cause? Maybe it's just me. Kyla who cares too much? |

I helped with (the shutting down of) a local one, and it was nowhere near as bad as some of the ones the HSUS & ASPCA show on their web sites, but it was bad. |

I hope they make everybody in America cry. Screw their damned delicate sensibilities and get their heads out of the sand and take a look at what goes on in this country. I wish they'd show the piles of dead cats in every animal control facility at the end of every Friday. Friday is kill-day. So they don't have to feed them over the weekend. I have photos of a puppy mill I helped bring down in 2001. Yorkies whose eyeballs were rotted from the ammonia fumes of living their entire lives in cages soaked in their own urine and feces. For Gods' sake. I can't believe you SUGGESTED that the ads are too "graphic." I guess they could show only the healthy little dogs and cats who will soon be adopted to a wonderful home. In LaLa Land. It's not just for the revenue generated by the ads. It's educating people like you. Just maybe, somebody will think twice about WHERE the puppy/kitten they're buying is coming from. Get people to adopt from shelters. Get people to spay, and encourage their friends to spay. Puppy mills are here to stay, until there is no more demand for their "product". The only way to bring them down is to get peopple to stop buying from them. The only way people are going to stop buying from them, is "graphic ads", so *everyone* understands the situation. Sorry for the rant, everyone else. Sherry |

When a ad is so graphic it triggers your gag reflex, I think it turns most people off. Jo |

How else would you suggest the general public be informed of the problem? Ignorance may be bliss, but it doesn't accomplish anything in terms of change for the better. Sorry for your nightmares (because I know you are not one of the uncaring) but maybe inspiring a few nightmares may get a few more puppy and kitten mills shut down. |

Sometimes our Nightly News broadcasts may carry a tale of exceptional animal cruelty, but the ongoing blight of puppy mills usually falls beneath their radar. The excellent coverage of various municipal "Animal Cops" divisions provided on Animal Planet is another vivid eye-opener, sometimes. These things happen, and we as animal lovers should be aware of them. |

Sorry for the rant, everyone else. Sherry You're right, Sherry and everyone else...that ad just made me so sick to my stomach at the thought of those poor animals suffering at the hand of so many so called humans, and I just recoilled in horror from it. It showed horses that were being slaughtered for meat, and a cow that didn't get put down properly, etc. It just made me so sick, I can hardly function today and I'm still trying to recover from the seizure I had last month. I know that's no excuse, but that damn thing made me more aware of the horrors going on in this blasted world. So many inhumans are killing helpless animals, and even the harp seal hunting is sick and wrong IMO. I am so glad the puppy mills got shut down, but I guess I am just too sensitinve. I just want to kill these so cal 'people' for inflicting these horrors on helpless animal. I have to go throw up again...sorry Then, I am going to go hug my kitties. Bye Kyla so sad about the world horrors. |

Screw their damned delicate sensibilities and get their heads out of the sand and take a look at what goes on in this country. Agreed, absolutely! I don't watch them, because I wouldn't buy from a puppy mill or from a breeder - not even a responsible one, because I'd rather adopt from a shelter. I always spay or neuter my pets. So I don't consider myself to be the target audience of those ads. But yeah, I do think they need to be out there, and that graphic. But Kyla, if you're not part of the target audience for these ads, then you don't have to watch them, either. Joyce -- audiophile, n: Someone who listens to the equipment instead of the music. |

You're right Joyce, I agree, I'm not part of the target audience, I just hate to see cruelty to animals. I would love to hurt people who kill Harp Seals as well. Yes, I got sick to my stomach at the site of the horses, cows, being inhumanely slaughtered for food. and cat and puppy mills. Sick.... I have, in the past, donated some money to shelters, and I have always (except once) had my kitties neutered. Sqweex ended up having 3 bitties about 5 years ago, and only one survived, and she, her daughter Pipps, and the 'dad' Pookie, are living with us and have been properly neutered. We thought Pookie (a black and white Tux) was a female because his little balls weren't showing until it was too late and Sqweex got pregnant. Live and learn, I guess. Thank you Love Kyla |
