Animal abuse ~ sharing graphic consent is not the way to stop it

Today, I encountered a video shared on Facebook that shows a violent crime against a dog. The video left me in such a shock that I couldn't stop crying thinking about that poor creature. After much thought, I contacted the person who shared it, and according to her, the purpose of the video was to raise awareness of animal cruelty, and I do not agree with her.

It is true, animal cruelty is a concern that should be stopped, but sharing violent content in social media is not the way to do it. No matter how pure your purpose is, you should think twice about the harm it can do for others.

• You may have friends who already suffer from depression in silence, your post will only make things worse. 
• You may have followers who might get intrigued by the popularity of the content and get curious to try something similar. 
• You may have followers who might accidentally expose these content to children, a child's mind can be ruined for life with such content.

It all comes down to social media responsibility. Whether it is animal cruelty or any other abuse, whether your purpose is to raise awareness or to have "fun", use social media wisely. You may be spreading war without even knowing it.
