There are millions of websites in the world, and we all only have so much time on our hands to mine the internet for the good stuff. Unless your friends tell you about an awesome site or one catches the eye of the mainstream media (or the Twitterverse) there’s a good chance some gems are staying lodged in the muck.
We’re here to be your friend today, though, and recommend you put these 12 websites in your bookmarks.

As someone who hates emotional animal injury or death onscreen, I have used this site religiously since I first learned of it. It also rates other aspects of the film that might be inappropriate for children, and yes, informs you of animal deaths other than dogs.
I’m definitely going to be visiting some of these on a weekly basis, even!
Which ones will you check out? Do you have any others to add?
