This is why I like animals more than people.

On Sunday I was getting hooked on te BBC series Robin Hood. And they played this. And I cried. A Lot.

I've seen that ad too. If someone isn't affected by that one, I kinda doubt that they have a soul.

You know, I often joke that my younger cat, Boaby, needs an ASBO (anti-social behaviour order!) but how anyone can actually can hurt an animal is beyond me.

I give regularly to the RSPCA here in Britain. It's only a few pounds a month but it's awful to know this is a continuous problem.

I always cry in that commercial. I can't even watch it here--too emotional.

Mike - No kidding. But I know for sure the people that were the ones that hurt those animals, they REALLY have no soul.

Lena - Welcome and thank you for being one of the angels that helps the animals.

Kell - they showed it another 5 or 6 times while the marathon was running. I choked up and the tears fell every time. I even tried mute and it didn't help.

Ok, you know what? Completely unfair putting that out there for me to read on Monday morning while sitting at my desk! Excuse me while I go find a box of kleenex!

BTW: Can't believe you still haven't gotten any!?!

Aw.

Do you ever watch that show "Animal Cops" on Animal Planet? I think that's the name of it.

It's really hard to believe some of the things people will do to animals. A bunch fo sick-os!

That is very moving. I doubt anyone can watch that without feeling something.

Omg, that cat with the stitched up eye... Just awful. How can people do that to a living creature?!

You should have put a warning on that one...and I don't mean the small print below after the play button

Okay, totally crying here.

This reminds me of when I was pregnant. I had a cancer research radio telethon on while driving in the car to pick up Hubby from the U. A woman called in thanking them for the years they had included her son that had now passed away. She asked them to hold a minute so she could go into a different room. She said if her son's dog hears anyone speak her son's name then the dog goes around the house searching for his dead master. Gosh, even typing this has made me cry again.
