Troubled mind, need to get something out of my head.?

I am a huge animal lover and feel very pionate about animals. I see abuse from fur farms, factory farming, animal testing, and other things. While maybe some of this can be exaggerated over the internet, I can not get the images out of my head. I am always feeling down and sad about how humans treat animals. After watching the movie "Earthlings" on how we treat animals, it's hard to get over this. When I come home, I go on the computer, and end up searching animal welfare related things, where I see more bad things. I can't stop searching it either, it's just an impulse, since I can't get it out of my head I have to research on it. When I look at meat, I become a little unsettled. I can not go vegan, I have a huge italian family who are huge meat eaters. Is there anything I can do to get over this? Therapy is not an option.
