How do you feel about people posting photos on Facebook of abused animals?

This is something that bugs the crap out of me. I realize that people want to help find homes or get donations for abused animals, but why post those pictures every day?

All it does is rip my heart out, make me sick to my stomach, and make me block their posts. One such friend told me, “I’m just trying to spread awareness about animal abuse.” Well thanks for that, but I’m sure we’re all pretty aware of it, especially since those damn commercials come on TV, showing beaten and mangled animals, with Sarah MacLaughlin singing “Angel” in the background.

So, how do you feel about folks continuously posting those pictures? Does it twist your gut to see these photos, or do you just calmly skim past them?
