Cat torture rings exposed in Australia

الوصف:

A harrowing discovery in Sydney has exposed a sadistic underworld of cat torture rings that sell videos of animals being mutilated for sexual gratification. While most footage is filmed in China, activists suspect some content is locally produced. The extreme material, once confined to the dark web, now spreads on encrypted platforms like Telegram and mainstream sites such as X, Facebook, and YouTube, exposing children to the unthinkable. Criminologists warn that involvement in this sinister online underworld can inspire broader abuse, including alleged mass murders. The RSPCA is investigating the cases, noting a spike in animal cruelty. Activists, including the Feline Guardians, conduct undercover work, combing forums and infiltrating chat groups to identify and expose perpetrators, often facing threats of doxing or violence. Their efforts have unmasked hundreds of offenders and continue to grow amid calls for social media giants to protect young users.
