Animal Abuse Commercials! Ugh!

Has anyone else noticed that every other commercial is about animal abuse? 

Some sad sad song, with pictures of poor abused animals flashing the screen,

 their big sad eyes just begging you to take them home.. It is OUT OF CONTROL! 

They've always had these commercials on TV, but lately it seems they are on at least 

once per 2 min commercial session.. 

I scurry around to find the remote, which has fallen between the cushions, knocking over 

everything in its path, saying LA LA LA LA loudly so i don't hear the heartbreaking music.. 

What in the world is going on? 

Now, don't get me wrong, I feel for these animals, and animal cruelty is an abomination for sure..

However, do we need to be reminded of it every 15 minutes??

Could you imagine if they put abused or neglected children on your TV screen every 15 minutes? 

Thank God for fast forward.. and mute.. 

Now you may resume your normal TV watching session..had to get that off my chest!
