I have used Does the Dog Die in the past, great site. I've seen enough horrific things for a lifetime, real and simulated. Why should I see more, if I've had enough? There's more than enough content for me without spending time watching gratuitous simulated murder or torture of animals. Tends to be a red flag for overall quality of the piece anyways.

Agreed. Usually it's a cheap method of generating hatred towards a character (see https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog).
