HOW TO PROPERLY FUND RAISE FOR ANIMAL ABUSE

Like so many others, I have a hard time watching those commercials for abused, neglected or injured animals.

They break your heart, which I suppose is the point in getting you to contribute as much as you can manage, on a monthly basis.

I am completely for raising the awareness of these horrors,

but, I propose a twist on the presentation

 of what you are forced to watch.

If I am to witness such misgivings of mankind, as these abuses are man-made, I say that they reshift the focus of getting to the solution. 

I don’t think that all of the precious

kitties and puppies,

 along with their older friends

should be the highlight of the showcase.

No I don’t.

I believe these commercials should go, a little something like this:

  Pan in on a scraggly, disgusting, dirt-bag, lying in a darkened basement, just a crack of light peering through the only window in the space that is housing him:

    “Meet Billy-Bob. Billy Bob lives a life of hell, in this damp, moldy basement. His bed is made of…concrete. His living conditions are deplorable.  He is confined by a leash,

which unfortunately for him, 

doesn’t give him much room to move.

Billy Bob doesn’t have enough to eat, but he can’t chew very much, anyway…all of his teeth have been knocked out of his mouth, a few per week since he’s been here.

What horrendous occurrence has taken place, which has rendered Billy Bob a filthy, toothless shell of a man?

Folks, Billy Bob is an animal hater. He not only hates them, he has taken some real pride in the way that he’s tortured them. Yes, sir.

   Pan to a shaking, one-eyed Cat named Buster:

    Buster was Billy Bob’s loving, pet cat. When Billy Bob would get to feeling like the loser he really was, he would make Buster pay for it.

Now, it’s not necessary for us to make you sick with the graphic details of what Buster had to endure…we’ll just tell you that after he was finished with his handiwork on innocent Buster, Billy Bob threw him out of a moving car, on the freeway.

   Pan to a healthy, purring Cat named Buster:

     Yes, Buster still only has one eye. That’s a fact. But Buster has a new lease on life. He was adopted by a loving family, that lavishes love and affection on Buster, every day of his new existence. He eats the finest foods.

 And when Buster needs to ‘attend to business’, he simply goes through the kitty door which was newly installed on the basement door, that leads to Billy Bob’s new existence.

  

 Pan in on the announcer,

sitting in a chair with Buster in his lap, nuzzling him:

      “You see, friends…Your dollars are soooo important to ending animal abuse and neglect. For a monthly contribution of a mere $20, we will do two things: 

We will first rehabilitate the abused animal,

 

returning it to health and into a loving home.

With the balance of your monthly contribution,

we will hunt down the scum-heads that inflict this cruelty 

and see to it that they never have the

ability to touch another living thing.

Call the number on your screen NOW.”
