Do the ASCPA and Humane Society Commercials Make You Cry?

Yes. I can't watch them. I can't ever go to the Humane Society; it tears me up emotionally for many weeks. Instead, I adopt strays & neuter them, & try to chip in money to no-kill or catch/neuter/release programs when possible. And all the while, I pray God takes care of them, as I can't. St. Martin de Porres is especially good with animals. Maggiepie “The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, & that is the path of surrender, or submission.” ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

oh god,just the song alone does.they couldn't have picked a better one. but usually the one-eyed kittens and other abused animals infuriate me to a degree,because i'd love to find who abused them and beat the living snot out of them. but,yes i donate.

I have donated to our local no kill animal shelter. Also, I have seen the commercials and they are sad. I don't watch them if I can avoid them. I have adopted an animal from our local shelter. It took her two years to warm up to us. I have also taken in stray cats! I have one that was abandoned by the neighbors. He lives on our front deck. I have one with 2 kittens in the barn. And I have one that I took to the vet and had him neutered so he could be in the house. He is 'helpless' not in that there is something wrong with him but that he is 'dependant' on you for everything. He is also very loveing. If anyone reading this doesn't have money to donate and would like to help the animals you can contact your local animal shelter and volunteer to help out. There are many things that you can do to help the animals and the shelter. Some donations can be made that won't cost you anything like old pillows and blankets that they can use for bedding. This is great if you have a child that wants a pet and you are not able to have one. Also, great for anyone that would like a animal but not able to have one.

I refuse to watch those commercials anymore. As soon as they start, I hit "go back" on my remote and I stay on another channel for at least TWO MINUTES. All they do is show poor suffering animals. Many of them are in such bad shape, you have to assume the animal has to be destroyed. If they were to show an animal beign rescued and then show the same animal after it has been rehabilitated and adopted out to a loving family; I would be more inclined to watch and possibly give. The way these commercials are right now, the only people that would enjoy watching them are the same people that abuse animals in the first place!

Yes I've seen them ; barely. I usually have to turn away. I do cry and I do donate to my local Humane Society. There are several no kill groups in my area which is great. About 9 months ago, my neighbor asked me to take 2 newborn stray kittens to the Humane Society. He didn't have a car to take them himself so he asked me. Well, that went over like a lead baloon. When I was holding the first little kitty and she nestled in my arm, I fell in love and already gave her a name - Gidget. Before her sister came to my home, I had her name picked out - Bridget. So, that was nine months ago and my Gidget and Bridget are still with me along with my other 7 : all strays. About a month ago, I had Gidget and Bridget spayed and vaccinated so they are officially mine. ( Actually they were officially mine a few short moments after holding the first baby ). I believe the commercials are very good as long as they get people to think about their own pets and how precious they are, and how truly deserving they are of having a good home where they are loved and cared for. I also think the commercials are good in that they get some people to open their heart and wallet to help make a difference. The ultimate beauty is when people open their home and adopt a pet. They are such wonderful company and I wouldn't want to live without them.

I have seen the commercials and they make me cry because there so sad but I have never donated because I have never had the extra money. And if I had the money I think I would use it in another way to help animals lie adopting one or something.

Yes I have that's where, I got my dog from she didn't have no fur when, I got her she was only one year old she's was what they called cockpoodle, she ended up being white with big brown eyes, I always go to humane to get my animals from there, they really help out the animals, cd
