I just sit sometimes and wonder if anyone is listening...does anyone care?
Why do we try to educate, warn, and enlighten only to consistantly have to be patient and PC with those who have read the info on this site and still buy from a pet store?
Why do we beat our heads up against a brick wall?
I want to just give up and quit, but something keeps me going. I don't know why. I guess it's maybe for the 1-in-10 who may actually care about what we know and tell them.
I'm getting to that point though...  |
That is exactly how I feel. Some days, I really ask myself, why am I doing this? Do people listen to me? Or do they tune me out after the first word that comes out of my mouth? Other days, I feel like I really made an impact today, I felt that people listened, to me for what I had to say, and took it all into consideration.
I guess we won't know until it really clicks in someone's mind and they take action as well.
The media, can ruin everything that someone, or something has worked up to. With one person starting something, everything that person had worked up to will be ruined by one false comment.
Words do hurt sometimes, and the media, is only going to make things worse.
