@Love_my_doggie I do the same thing. My sister also has a dog named Sadie that she rescued. She says Sadie will never ever be confined again.
The commercials aren’t as bad as they used to be. Several years ago I saw one that showed a bulldozer with hundreds of deceased dogs and puppies in the loader. I threw up in my mouth a little.
Unfortunately, I think those ads are ‘preaching to the choir’. The people who they affect the most already donate, and the people who don’t care aren’t going to give anyway. I do think there’s some good that comes from them though – I think the ads make an impact on the younger generations, so that they may grow up feeling more compassion toward animals than my parent’s generation did.
