how do you deal with horrible things you read about pet cruelty...

[Grace]

There are times, many of them, when I refuse to click on a topic or link if there is the slightest inkling of something horrible on the other side.

Perhaps that is cowardly, cold hearted. I'm old enough to know I cannot fix every wrong. And I refuse to spend the rest of my life agonizing over situations where I have no control.


I just realized I did not answer your question. I have no easy way, Carole. Time will ease the pain. Go and love on your pets - read a favorite book - treat yourself.

carole, sometimes I read or view pictures of animal cruelty and it haunts me also. Some can handle it better than others. Some people ask me how I can do it? I tell them, someone has to. Someone has to know what's happening to animals in this world and pass the word along and hopefully open many more eyes and ears to it. I know who I can mention things to and who I cannot. I wouldn't want to upset anyone who couldn't handle it.
For those who can't deal with it, I say avoid it at all costs. As for getting it out of your mind, that's hard but in time it will fade to where, at least, you aren't thinking of it all the time.
