Even the singer (Sarah M. ) has admitted she changes the channel when her commercials come on because they are so depressing. It doesn't matter if you donate or not, you'll still bombarded by these depressing commercials. Which considering many charities are not as non-profit as you think, I really resent what I consider a shameless emotionally manipulative money grab under the guise of charity. Most these organization CEOs make millions a year and charge their entire lives as business expenses. I personally know the ASPCA will not address any low level issues with animal abuse at all (me and others have called for abused animals but they just jerk you around and never come). Only if it's going to mean publicity and be big enough to aid in extracting money through their next commercial campaign

I can not afford to help these animals, and I have my own sad problems, these commercials make me cry Every Day! I am disabled and need financial assistance and yet there is no one stepping up to help me. I would love to have a pet, alas, I can not physically nor financially take care of myself. So, I can not afford to pay for cable so, I am stuck watching sad commercials and getting more depressed. Please Please Please STOP the commercials.
