This painful issue was brought up in the Dunkin threads and I thought I'd get your opinions on something.
Every week, I search through the internet newspapers for the kitty headlines (as part of the weekly update of the site). I'm sorry to say that almost half the stories are about cases of cruelty and abuse. I'm never quite sure what to do with those headlines. I know that some people are very sensitive and wouldn't like to see that info on the main page. On the other hand I feek that this is an important issue.
In one of the issues of Cat Fancy this year they said that they received a lot of angry letters from readers after they ran a story about cat abuse. People said they don't want these storied brought into their houses because it's too upsetting.
So far what I do is I try to publish the stories that have a good ending or that show the compassionate side of people who helped the cat after it had been abused.
I'll go and fish some headlines for you to see which kind of stories I'm talking about.
I'd like to know what people here think about this.
