Marni, Joyce,
I feel the same way. I have to take a sleep aid every night so I can
wake up the next day to the same anger, depression, distraughtness and
feeling of helplessness that we cannot get to these animals BEFORE they
suffer. Some of the additional animal atrocities that come across my
facebook is more graphic and disturbing than Care2.
I, as well, stay mentally and emotionally exhausted. If I didn't have
three dogs and fostering two kittens I would contemplate driving off a
cliff, that way it could look like my vehicle malfunctioned and not a
suicide. However, God knows my thoughts and stops me.
We just have to step away from time to time, don't ever think you are not
doing your part if you happen to miss a petition or sending an email or
making a phone call. Most "alerts for action" will be repeated.
Animal cruelty is an epidemic, and as hard as we try we can't address every
single one, if we tried we would be awake 24 hours a day.
