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.
