If I even hear that song, I get tears in my eyes. I will change the channel, or mute it and not look at the TV. Usually I never watch live TV anyway, so I skip over commercials in general.

No, I've never donated because of those commercials. I donate my time to the local shelter (and have for 7 years now). That is my contribution to help animals. And I've donated a few times here on Pet Talk in the past to help animals in need.

I am sure anyone here on Pet Talk feels the same way as all of us that posted here so far.
