Petition A law for warnings before any material showing human/animal abuse is broadcast

There's various adverts on TV containing details of human & animal abuse, malnutrition, starvation. Whilst I agree it is important to try and help and gain publicity in order to do this I feel we should be able to choose to see this and it should include a trigger warning before coming onto screen

More details

Films have age ratings on to stop children seeing this due to it being inappropriate, programmes have a warning before showing distressing images/graphic nature. Not only children do these adverts affect but adults too! It should be a choice to see adverts of this nature and not forced upon our screens. Especially for example someone with a background of abuse and then a NSPCC advert comes on telling details of abuse suffered, this can be distressing to say the least towards vulnerable people.
