Tumblr Post: Tag Your Posts
I’d really appreciate it if people would tag their animal abuse posts. Please! I can’t filter them otherwise. I know animal abuse is out there. I don’t need it shoved in my face and depressing me for days, the graphic pictures and videos stuck in my head.
I give to charities that help abused animals, we had a dog for 12 years that was abused and we rescued her, I don’t abuse animals myself, and I’ve even called animal rescue on people who abused animals in my neighborhood.
I don’t need someone to tell me it exists, to force me to be aware. I know it exists. Stop shoving it in my face.
I don’t want to unfollow people because of it, but it’s too depressing to just keep watching it as I scroll through my feed FOR PLEASURE. Ya know, fandom? That place where I go to get away from the horrible realities of life? I’ve unfriended family members on Facebook for the same reason.
I’ll never get the video of a cat being tortured to death from a friend’s feed on Facebook out of my head. A video that automatically played on my browser! My friend said he did it to force awareness, but I don’t need that in my head. Not when I’m not even part of the problem. I’m on Tumblr for fun, not to sit there and cry over something I can’t even stop.

Rescue pictures sound like a wonderful alternative. It still gets the word out there (in the text of the post), yet gives hope to people who could do some good.
I haven't had anyone shame me for this before, but I'm sure it's just because this is the first time I've ever complained about those posts. Sorry you had to deal with that.
