Not looking for it ,I liked watching the dance videos.
I’ve had roasted dogs stood waiting to be eaten ,a live rabbit in a bath and they put a snake in with it ,kittens in a cave and a snake comes along ,just as the person just happens to be filming.a chicken being attacked by 3 snakes, a dog being roasted ,a snake in a bath and they put a live Guinea pig in with it , a machine that you put a live fish in and out pops a fish fillet ..cooked seafood on a plate still moving .a dog found wrapped in cling film ,clearly placed and wrapped for the person to film and get likes
.people are putting on cruel videos to get likes ,
I’ve not looked for any of this
,and I scroll past quickly if it comes up.
But I know a lot of children also use this app ,and some of what I’ve seen is very upsetting,
and it’s been enough for me to delete the app.

Fb is the same. Amazing how all these cruelty cases just happen to get found when all the cameras are rolling.

Your for you page is based on what you have liked, searched for and how long you have spent on each video tag. So if you watch something with the tag MN for example and remain on that video, your for you page will show you more videos with that tag.

I can assure you Simon ,I have gone on the page where you request what category you want ,and made sure I had not ticked any animal videos ,yet they still come up ,and I scroll past as quick as I can .
God only knows what comes up if you actually search for it

What’s worse for me is all the animals performing cute tricks videos that people share on FB.

I watched these until a couple of years ago, I’ve got a dog and thought they were funny to see and marvelled at how clever the animals were.

Until I somehow ending up looping through a section of cute videos that ended with one where it showed you exactly how they get the animals to do the tricks.

It horrified me and I don’t watch any of them anymore. Haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since Sad

I feel the same Steve ,I feel awful at what I’ve seen ,I’m a grown woman and it’s really upset me ,I feel so sorry for all the animals being abused and the children on the app who will be upset at what they view

Thats cruel whats on tiktok OP 😞 any way you can report them?? I don't know much about tiktok

Have you seen "don't f* with cats" on Netflix? These people will always look for sn upgrade.

Im pretty sure they must be some laws against this those poor animals

You can report the videos, you can also click "not interested" and they will adjust the algorithm so you won't see videos like that again.

That’s awful, my kids keep begging me to watch cute animals on there, all their friends have it yada yada. No way now even if I was weakening! Thank you.

There's eye-watering animal abuse videos across all the media platforms and no-one seems to care. Entire channels dedicated to "rescuing" (torturing) them. These platforms seem to be cool with abusing animals for entertainment because they don't remove them when you complain.

What makes me despair is animal cruelty seems to be a lifestyle choice for some groups now, (I'm talking about fucking "furries"). Similar to peodophiles rebranding themselves as "MAPs", you now have folk proudly claiming their identity as "zoophiles" and even "zoosadists". Horrible and disturbing, those poor animals.

I know it’s just awful
