ASPCA TV Ads

It is on an awful lot. It ticks me off because I contacted the ASPCA regarding some animals I believe are being abused. I was told they will not come to my city and to call the dog catcher. I had already done that several times! The dogs are still there, it has been a year and a half since I began this mission. I give up. I tried. But I will never support the ASPCA or the Humane Society because they would do nothing about these abused animals. Some friends of mine tried to contact them before regarding animal cruelty and got nowhere.

They are getting a bit carried away with them. The money they are wasting on all those commercials, could definitely make a difference in taking care of those animals. It is way too much.

I agree with you. I was thinking about this today. I was watching two different channels, and on both channels, they aired these commercials you are talking about 3 times during the hour I was watching, on BOTH channels. Some might say it's good, because it reminds people of the abuse animals get. And I say that if a person doesn't get affected by the commercial once, then they sure as heck aren't going to be affected by seeing it three times. Seeing this so often just makes me feel depressed, and kind of manipulated.

I've seen the Sarah McLachlin one quite a bit. It doesn't bother me. I don't watch a lot of tv and usually am up doing something else during the commercials anyway. I understand why they show it a lot. They want to raise awareness and even if it is irritating and disturbing then it still is on your mind and that is what they want.

I'm so with you on this whiteheather! I can't watch that commercial either and change the channel when it comes on. It upsets me to no end to see the scars of these poor animals and angers me like a mad woman to know the cause is by a low life scum bag fellow human being. It makes me so damneda mad! And the eyes of these animals is so heart wrenching! Then a couple of rich and famous people come on TV and beg us poor people for money to help when they're sitting on their millions of dollars makes me even more angry! Granted, they're doing a good deed getting the point across but damn it, they need to put their money where their mouth is too! If they can talk the talk then they need to walk the walk the walk as well and set the example for the rest of the world. Another thing, have you seen the commercial about kids over seas somewhere living in squalor conditions and don't know where their next meal is coming from? It really ticked me off too because the host was this famous FAT woman wearing really nice clothes and her hair and makeup all dolled up and she's holding a little girl in her arms who looks like she's never had a bath or had new clothes! Just seeing that really made me so damned mad because it's as if she's showing off her success in front of those people which is not right at all! Again, another who needs to put their money where their mouth is AND take ALL beings into consideration whether it's human or animal. For the record, we donate $20. every month to HSUS. We'd give more if we could but at least we give something.

I agree ith you about that they are always showing the animals just at Christmas which I don't feel it's right what about the rest of the year? There's still alot of other animals out there not just at Christmas yjat need help!!! I save a little black kitten last year now it's 2yrs old and it's really cute it loves the music and the computer and if you bring anything into the house it's into it that's why I call it Snoopy it check out everything the cat cupboard where I put there food he go in there and the other cat will sit in front of the door and and will not let him out we watch them they are so funny plus he like to play catch with the little ball he be a good ball player.Daisy plays really good with the cats.I thinks she for get she's a dog. cd

I do not like seeing them either because like you if I had my Way I would have them all it breaks my Heart They do show them here but not as often as that which I am so glad about I think if they showed them that often I would have to walk away from the TV

yup I have seen these also and thought that they was airing it way to much seemed like on one station it was every commercial. TO bad we cant adopt them all but just cant my place aint big enough. Yup something is wrong seeing it to much just works oppistit of what they would like to hapen I do beleive!
