A smiley face waving goodbye would definitely hurt and humiliate me more than someone just stating goodbye.
Believe me, I understand both sides to this, feel very acutely the emotions involved on both sides, and I see no place for flippant cruelty in it at all. It does nothing to help out either the people or the animals involved. All it does is further hurt someone and compound the problem.
Tina, you can contact me at any time if you need to talk or share what is going on, or if you have questions about my own experiences I'm more than willing to share with you. While my responses and opinions will be honest, they will also be understanding and nonjudgmental.
This has nothing to do with choosing sides, it is only a plea that if all you are going to do is post a one word response or an emoticon, please reconsider the necessity of it.
