As yesterday's post indicates I am a huge animal lover. I especially love cats and dogs and horses, so shows like Animal Cops are especially hard on me. Also, those ASPCA commercials melt my heart. I immediately want to take home every animal in a cage. I can't even go into a PetSmart without needing to adopt every kitty behind the glass. But the abused animals hit me the hardest. I can never imagine what a poor defenseless animal could do to someone in order for them to get beat. Most of the time, these creatures do nothing to deserve being abused. And the worst part is, animals usually still love the people who hurt them. They have unconditional love no matter what happens to them. I can't stand the sight of those little faces, battered and bruised, but still craving attention and love. I bawl every single time. Sarah McLachlan's soulful tune doesn't help.
So I figured I would put a picture of animal abuse up here as a picture that makes me angry/sad. Because those pictures certainly do make me very angry and very sad.
Have you ever typed "animal abuse" into Google images? I don't advise doing it. I think I will live a thousand years and not get those impressions about of my head. They were so horrible, so unbelievably terrible I couldn't think of putting one up here. And how would I ever pick which picture to post when one picture was as heart-wrenching as the next?
So just take my word for it, those pictures are what makes me angry/sad. You don't need to see them for me to prove it.
