Do anyone else get really sad when.....

skyler1108 · January 2011

those ASPCA commercials come on? I am such an animal lover and those commercials just make me so sad.

AudgiePodge · January 2011

I have to turn the channel.

bourgehm · January 2011

That's their point to make you sad. And I do get sad I suppose, but they honestly just make me pretty annoyed. You're going to hate me for saying this, but when I see those commercials, I think to myself, "There are starving kids in the world, and these people want my money? Ummm no way." Personally, I hate them and I think they're stupid. I am a big animal lover, and hate animal abuse, but I would much rather give my money and see commercials asking for money for starving PEOPLE rather than dogs and cats.

skyler1108 · January 2011

I know me too. I made the mistake of watching one once. One just came on and after two animal pics I had to turn the channel because it is so hard to watch.

paintgirl · January 2011

OMG seriously - worse than starving children in barefeet on filthy streets. Darn you, Sarah McLachlin. They kill me.

zipis1 · January 2011

I can't watch them and turn the channel. And personally I prefer animals to people, so I'm really just unaffected by similar commercials for humans.

skyler1108 · January 2011

I agree with you zipi.

skyler1108 · January 2011

I would be much more likely to make a monthly donation to the ASPCA than I would be to one of those other charities you see on tv. If I had the extra money to give that is. I hope to one day be able to give a monthly donation to the ASPCA.

THIS.

I can't want those commercials. I have to change the channel or cry my eyes out.

OMG it makes me want to adopt every single on Earth and cram them in my small apartment. That seems counter-productive, though.

Ha. Oops. I was typing the exact opposite while you were typing this. It's not that I don't care about starving children, it's just that I don't think money I would donate would actually get to them. Some of those charities seem so corrupt.

marleylikeair · January 2011

YES. They used to make me cry, but now I mute and look away. Actually, now that they've been around awhile, they kind of make me mad because it's such blatant manipulation.

skyler1108 · January 2011

That is very true paint. I have actually adopted a pet from the ASPCA so I know that it is legit. With some of those other ones you can never be sure.

coastiegrl25 · January 2011

I have such a heart for animals, than for the other commercials. I am with Zips. Animals are innoncent and can't do it alone. People can find jobs, and find ways to support themselves. The commercials kill me.

Biatch!! Dont' care about the starving children!?!?! Just kidding. Yeah, I agree. But I LOVE the organization compassion international where you get to pick out a kid from a group of pictures and send them money each month. That's the organization that I'm crazy about, therefore it trumps the ASPCA for me.

I watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians (on netflix instant watch) way too much today while I was making the lasagna we ate for dinner tonight. It's such a stupid show. SOO stupid. But I think pretty much as trashy as real housewives...

skyler1108 · January 2011

I have never seen any of the real housewives shows. How bad are they?

And bourgehm I just want to clear it up that I love kids. I'd just rather give money to puppy and kittens lol.

GreenPepperBurger · January 2011

I get really sad when people post insensitive comments about abusing animals.

Narwhal · January 2011

Well. I have been watching it all day. And every. single. time. there was a commercial break, they would play that commercial.

Sarah MacLaughlin (or w/e) sang at some awards show a few weeks ago, and all I could think of were sad puppies.

bourgehm · January 2011

Not going to lie, I think EVERY puppy or kitten is cute. But kids on the other hand.....

Yeah, kids will just buy candy if you give them money. At least dogs and cat will buy pet food. And maybe a rotisserie chicken if the mood strikes.

I'm hoping you're not thinking I am posting things pro-animal abuse. I'm totally not. Just saying I'd rather have my money go to other organizations.

Cate made a comment in the "Another Newbie" thread about her BF wanting to run over stray cats if he could. I didn't say anything but it REALLLY rubbed me the wrong way. Not cool.
