On the rare occasion that I watch one of those shows, I just end up being upset and sad. Not worth it. I see more than enough of that kind of stuff in real life, I don't need to see it on TV, too.

I also end up being disgusted that our animal control is so pathetic here, and so wishing that we had some Animal Cops of our own ... who would actually take their jobs seriously and DO something about abuse and neglect.
