Target: United Kingdom Parliament
Goal: Demand that animal crush videos and images be outlawed immediately, and punished severely.
Animal crush videos document the abuse of small animals, such as kittens, puppies, mice and rabbits, for the purposes of sexual gratification. Animals are slowly tortured in horrific ways; they are burned alive, skinned alive, dismembered, nailed to the ground, and otherwise abused. The intent is, most often, to illicit screams of pain from the poor creatures. The majority of animal crush fetish videos involve individuals crushing the animal by stepping on it in high heels or sitting on it.
This gruesome industry has entered mainstream pornography over the years and has become popular in many countries around the world. Undeniably, individuals who take pleasure in the torture of innocent, helpless creatures are some of the most perverse in the world. Whether they are the creators of the videos or their consumers, they must be stopped immediately. Many countries, such as the United States, have enacted legislation criminalizing the creation, sale, distribution, advertising, marketing and exchange of animal crush videos. However, in the UK no specific law tackles this serious issue. Anti-obscenity laws and animal cruelty laws both seem to have failed to make a dent in the animal crush industry.
Any pornography that exploits, tortures, and kills a living creature is disturbing and repulsive. Just as laws exist to protect innocent children, laws must exist to protect helpless animals. Repetitive animal cruelty is often seen as the first sign of major mental and social disorders. Undoubtedly, anyone who finds sexual entertainment in the murder of small animals is degenerate. Sign the petition below to demand that the UK parliament take action against this crime and outlaw animal crush videos immediately.
Dear Parliament Members,
Animal crush videos are a form of severe animal abuse, intended mainly to invoke sexual pleasure. These videos have appeared all over the internet and gained popularity recently in a number of countries. They document small, living animals—such as puppies and kittens—being tortured slowly. These animals are dismembered, skinned alive, burned alive, nailed to the floor, and usually crushed beneath high heeled shoes or sat on.
Undeniably, individuals who take pleasure in the torture of innocent, helpless creatures are some of the most perverse in the world—whether they are the creators of the videos or their consumers, they must be stopped immediately. Pornography that exploits, tortures, and kills another creature is disturbing and repulsive. Laws must be created to protect helpless animals. While many countries have passed bills and acts to criminalize these fetish videos and images, the UK has not. I am writing to demand that the UK Parliament take steps to pass laws that will criminalize the creation, sale, distribution, advertising, marketing and exchange of animal crush videos. This inhumane act must be stopped.
