Shocking and Appalling Animal Abuse on Facebook

As an animal lover, I frequently browse videos of animals when I'm using Facebook. I found that there is a dark side, that not may people are aware of, where blatant animal abuse is being displayed visually. And Facebook is doing nothing to stop the people who are doing it.

My purpose in writing this is that I hope more people will become aware, and will help report these types of videos until Facebook follows their policies and suspends any account posting videos depicting animal abuse.

Facebook is one of the biggest and most popular social media platforms, having over 3 billion active users and should be monitoring what is being fed to society on their app, especially when questionable content is being reported and outright ignored by their company.

It's too late to un-see what is shown, but I reported on all of them. They post falsely under a site you may follow. At least that was what these ones were under.

I saw 1 abusive vid once and it triggered me so bad If jumping through the screen and torturing that fucker was possible he would be dead. Reported it.

Sat up the rest of the night shuddering and holding Othello close,not letting him out of my sight.
I was raging for weeks.

I wish animal abusers got the death penalty. Would like to see animal hoarders made so could not own pets,kept on a database nation wide so that all adoption agencies would not let them adopt,and random unannounced welfare checks maybe 3 times a year on hoarders to make sure they have no pets.

About time animal abuse was dealt with seriously.
I'm tired of animals being seen as property and not as sentient beings with rights,souls, and such.

So I am very careful about what I let on my feed. I would get triggered again and want to eviscerate whoever makes a video like that ,fucking sociopaths I want them all dead.

And he refuses to do anything about it because he doesn't want to lose the money he gets from the animal torture videos.
