No, I don't want to read about it!


 
As a self-appointed animal hugger (except for shady fishy sort of characters trying to slime their way past my legs under water and horses that kick me in the shins when I'm trying to keep their hooves clean and my lab/pointer mix when she's eaten some other carnivore's poop again and schtuff) I'm having a hard time finding blogs or tweets to follow that don't include a million posts per day concerning some horrible hell-man victimizing puppies or another litter of bunnies run over by a lawn mower, and honestly people, WHY would I want to hear or read about THAT? Huh?

It's depressing and discouraging and I remember it well from when I used to contribute to an animal welfare newsletter - by the time I had finished researching one article I had uncovered at least two other cruelty issues I hadn't yet been aware of. Yay.

What I hate most is sites that disguise themselves as cheerful places with names like yourdailycute or some such rot and then wallop you right between the eyes with a blind kitten's death after posting the scruffy, scraggly pics of when it was rescued and then sadly couldn't be saved. Honestly, it makes me want to.... grrrRrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr them from here to next Tuesday.

I think I'll wander over to Happy News now....
