Inside the sick underworld of cat torture rings

Deskripsi:

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 local production in Australia. The content, 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 online underworld can inspire human abuse, including alleged mass murders. Activists, including volunteers from Australia, the UK, and China, conduct undercover investigations, combing forums and infiltrating chat groups to identify and expose perpetrators. Their efforts have unmasked hundreds of offenders, and calls are growing for social media giants to protect young users from exposure to such content.
