Facebook Why?

Why do people share stories about abused animals WITH graphic pictures of them on Facebook?

Seriously, I wouldn't post a graphic picture of a car wreck to raise awareness about seatbelt safety.

Fuckme, what I just saw makes me want to vomit.

Re: Facebook Why?

  • I also hate this. It's like a sneak attack Debbie Downer. I'll decide if I want to be melancholy about the world today, thank you very much.

    First of all.... I totally agree.  I can't even stand the commercials on TV.

    Second of all... let me guess... the Shepard puppy with 1/2 his face torn off?

    I'm going to have to start blocking people soon for this. Not even just for the vomit factor, but between TWO people, my entire feed is full of dogs. Abused, homeless dogs. If I wanted a dog, I'd have one. I don't. I feel for the dogs but I don't need to see a hundred large dog photos with pleas to save the dogs. If you want to promote homeless abused dogs, make a homeless abused dog FB page that is clear that it's you behind it. Like I have my blog page. Then let people join it. Not everyone I'm friended to is friended to my FB blog page. And that's FINE. Maybe those people are not interested and that's ok.

    Stop with the dogs.

  • Yes, the Shepherd puppy.   I completely unfriended them.  Not a close friend, and I don't need that sneak attack again.

  • I am so sick of Facebook slacktivism. There's no one on Facebook who isn't 'aware' of child abuse, cancer, or whatever the cause of the week is. Start doing something about it.
    Impatiently waiting to TTC #4 in Fall 2012.
