Demand Social Media Platforms Remove Animal Cruelty Content and Keep It Off for Good
PETITION TARGET: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, X owner Elon Musk, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan
A baby macaque is pinned while his arm is struck repeatedly with a hammer. A puppy is scruffed and held out the window of a speeding car. An orange cat’s chest is crushed under the knee of a faceless man. And it is all caught on camera by the perpetrators of this violence.
These videos were not pulled from fringe “dark web” sites. These videos, and many others like them, are available on mainstream social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube. Many of these videos are even used as advertisements for secret encrypted chats on Telegram, where animal abusers share sick videos for their own twisted amusement.
Sign this petition by Feline Guardians partner Lady FreeThinker demanding that Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, X, and YouTube remove animal cruelty content from their platforms and take proactive steps to prevent it from being posted in the first place.
