Exactly. My significant other makes me change the channel when those commercials come on, or he leaves the room.
The thing about hurt, helpless animals is that most people don't have to see those animals to feel compassion and want to help. Some people are actually more inclined to assist an animal before they'd help another person!
They really don't have to show sad animals with depressing music playing in the background.
Damn Sarah McLachlan!
