These ads are infuriating, close to sociopathic. I run for the remote to mute every time they come on, several times in an hour. I give to my LOCAL SPCAs, shelters and rescue groups. WHO IS THE ASPCA?

I love pets and kindness toward animals but this commercial is too depressing. Especially for people with mental issues including depression watch these. I have severe mental illness and depression and these commercials are just way too triggering to be on television. Hope we reach our goal to put an end to these mentally abusive advertisements.

Those commercials are just as cruel and heartless as the idiots abusing the animals. There are better ways to get people to help. It's not by forcing us to see already abused animals. We don't show beaten and abused children. STOP SHOWING BEATEN AND ABUSED DEFENSELESS ANIMALS

If these commercials weren’t 5+ minutes long it wouldn’t be as bad but when you end up changing the channel from a show you’re interested in to get away from these ads, something needs to be done.

These are disgusting commercials and I won't watch them - these should be about rescues and hope especially during 2020/2021
Please show PAWsitive rescue commercials - I have rescued dogs for 42 years and these commercials are so depressing as I am doing my best - let's get some goodness and kindness in these commericals and then I will donate monthly. Sheri

I can't stand them anymore. My wife, who is already stressed out from long hours at the hospital, starts crying and has to leave the room. I can't imagine people with kids. We love animals and support generously, mainly locally. But this has to stop. I've written ASPCA in the past to just accept my donation and quit sending me crap and more crap, but they never listen. I'll get the same calendar five times. About done with them.

These commercials make me want to end my life. There is no place for them. Show HAPPY animals. Show BEFORE and AFTER. Don't use animal tortutre porn as an excuse to make us donate.

Using emotional blackmail to get money is just sleazy, and cheap. I’m so freakin sick of it..... I’m a donor because I love animals, I am so disappointed that part of my money is used for this garbage. Take the high road people, get out of the gutter! To the head of this advertising campaign... f-you!

Like millions of others I am repeatedly traumatized by these commercials and want them stopped. We should be safe from trauma intruding into our own homes. I know that child sexual abuse is a reality, too, but I shouldn't have to have video of these heinous acts intrude on me in my home simply because I choose to watch television. Same thing with animal abuse. These commercials should be illegal. I WANT TO HELP GET THEM OFF THE AIR. Please contact me at [email protected]. Thank you.

Please stop these ads while our nation suffering from Covid. Things are bad enough without a depressing comercial that plays every 10 minutes for months on end.

Dates need to be provided because I thought there's laws now to stop the abuse of animals. Each month a new amount is needed; when said by the end of the month-July. Now, the month of August, a new amount is needed by the end of the month. I thought the commercial would end in August but no.
