Default Anyone Else Offended By Posts Regarding Animals?

Don't want to rant, but sort of ticked off right now. Is anyone else offended by my posts regarding animals? Got a PM complaint. Trying to do good to help animals find homes or to make people aware of adopting previously owned animals. I guess my most recently title had shock value that I wasn't aware of and was offensive to one reader. I can't please everybody and have stopped trying. Just trying to help the animals. Wish everyone was on the same page as me.

I don't understand how someone would be offended. If you don't want to read posts about animals, then do not read posts in the All About Pets section.

I think it's wonderful. If some are offended, they just don't need to read the posts. I would pay no attention to them.

Some people (me included) go on TOTV by going into NEW POSTS. By doing this, everything from all groups including PETS comes up. I'm guessing that this rude, uncaring person that messaged you is not aware that you were posting in the PET area. Regardless he/she had no right messaging you to complain.....that's being a jerk!!

I enjoy any posts that help our pets.

I always go to new posts. I look at the subject. If it doesn't interest me, I don't click on it.

Keep posting and working for the animals. Then post the name of the jerk that would PM you for doing something worthwhile so we might share our PM's with them.

The content of your posts to help rescued dogs are welcomed here as far as I'm concerned.

I haven't noticed any shock titles in your posts, Geo. I think you should just keep on keeping on!

We always have that option (blocking the poster), but, again, we could just skip the post if not interested. There are many headings I just pass by because they don't interest me or I know they will rattle me, so they are better not read.
I think she is doing a wonderful thing trying to help these poor rescues. I only wish I had the time and perseverance to do it so wholeheartedly. I found nothing "shocking" about her heading.

You don't think jay was going tO be euthanized is shock jock? Other people post Without that. Duffsmom has a Rescue. Someone a few days ago had to do with poodles Neither title was if it bleeds it leads. Again I love animals. I appreciate wHat others do to find them homes. My only objection is tHe way GeoGeo does it.

Keep up the good work. We have freedom of choice, and don't have to read threads which are of no interest. As many of you know, I'm contemplating getting another rescue pet (Yorkie) and am grateful to learn of pet adoption options from the comfort of my computer or Iphone. Until reading about these on TOTV, I had no idea they were "out there"

Not offended at all. I think what you are doing is GREAT! Who else is going to look out for the well being of these animals if we don't. If you can help match up one animal with one human, you have done a good thing in my book.

Keep up the good work.

I say, if the person is offended, STOP reading the post! It's pretty simple if you ask me.

But you can't not see the title, which was my point.
