Dear Ross,
I also felt the same way you are feeling right now. Your spirit should not feel crushed because you are doing the best you can. What you can also do is create awareness through social media about why it is necessary to treat animals nicely. And I took a vow to help every animal possible by creating NGO’s for them, so you can also do it. Remember, every small step counts and you are doing great man. Just do your best they way you are doing.
