                        Dear Alexey,



                        The findings are horrifying: animals are being 
beaten, tortured, and even killed for clicks on social media. And the 
companies hosting this content are failing to stop it.



                        Our new investigative report reveals thousands of 
brutal animal abuse videos shared on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, 
and X. Collectively, these clips racked up more than 1 billion views.



                        Among the worst abuses we found:

                          a.. Monkey torture videos often disguised as 
 “cute” family clips — with baby primates beaten, starved, teased, and 
stripped of their dignity.
                          b.. Fake rescues, where puppies, kittens, and 
other animals were deliberately put in danger so abusers could stage 
dramatic “saves.”
                          c.. Animal fighting videos, where animals like 
dogs, cats, roosters, and snakes are forced to attack one another, often in 
confined spaces.
                          d.. Graphic abuse, including videos of animals 
such as puppies, kittens, and chickens being crushed, burned, or sexually 
exploited.
                        Disturbingly, we’ve also found that social platforms 
are serving as gateways to encrypted messaging apps like Telegram, where 
longer, even more violent videos are shared, sold, and requested by paying 
customers.



                        Abusers are using social media as a marketplace for 
cruelty.


                        Facebook was by far the worst offender, hosting more 
than three-quarters of all the cruel content we found  — including 95% of 
monkey torture clips. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X also hosted shocking 
material, and none of the platforms enforced their own policies 
consistently. Even after we reported these posts, the companies often failed 
to remove even the most egregious abuse.



                        This isn’t just devastating for animals. These 
videos also harm people — especially children — who are being exposed daily 
to cruelty disguised as humor, education, or “cute” content. Experts warn 
that this exposure desensitizes viewers, normalizes violence, and even 
encourages copycat abuse.



                        Please sign our petition to demand that social media 
companies prevent and remove animal-cruelty content from their platforms.

                        SIGN THE PETITION

                        You can also help by reporting abusive posts to the 
social media platforms and authorities, and sending evidence directly to LFT 
at reportposts at ladyfreethinker.org. And please share our full report widely 
so the truth can’t be ignored.



                        Together, we will hold social media companies 
accountable, protect children, and most importantly, save animals from 
suffering for clicks.
