2. Do you mean that I SHOULD include a "graphic warning" when posting "extreme" animal cruelty stories?

(There was no "graphic warning" in the title of this post nor in the headline of the NY Post article)


btw, I post animal cruelty stories because I'm an animal lover who hates it when psychopaths get away with deliberate animal abuse.
My goal is to help spread the word about particular animal cruelty cases, and in the process, perhaps help police and/or animal welfare groups locate the person or persons responsible for such cruelty.

I never post graphic photos of animal cruelty on DU, but I do sometimes post "warnings" about links that do show "graphic" photos of the animal who was allegedly abused.

I am NOT going to stop posting animal abuse stories in this "Animal Rights" forum because this is the "appropriate forum" for such posts.
Like humans, animals have rights too, and deserve to be treated with kindness, not abuse.
(If you don't wish to see my postings anymore, you can block me; that is your prerogative)
