I just don't get it. growing up in South Asia, I have had several monkeys (monkeys live in the city I was in and some of them adopted us over the years). curious beautiful (naughty) creatures capable of deep attachment.

personally I feel these people should be locked up and the keys thrown away.

@Maddie212 they are 100% tortured and abused and there is lots of online footage. Pigs in particular are treated absolutely horrifically and have been shown to have the same intelligence as dogs.

I stopped reading once I got to the photo of that beautiful baby monkey. How utterly, utterly awful.

I'm not sentimental as such about animals and don't like the anthropomorphism that seems increasingly prevalent.

However I can't even bear to click the link and read what they've done. It's the very worst of human nature. I agree they need locking away forever ( hopefully with a bit of prison justice so they know what it feels like to be hurt and scared). They are absolutely disgusting.
It worries me greatly that they were doing this for a paying audience. WTF is actually wrong with humans.

It’s the internet, clearly. It’s warped people’s minds and made them utterly depraved. Not everyone, obviously. But enough to reach a tipping point.

People like you are a shame, probably not even vegan. I'm going to ignore you now, and I hope others do too.

I live near small farms and the animals are not tortured or abused.

Farm animals definitely do get abused. I'm sure every type of animal is abused at some point, sadly. Doesn't detract from this awful story, though.

Alltheyearround · 07/05/2024 20:07

Just can't get my head around why anyone would do this.

Perhaps I don't want to understand. These people - really are the bottom of the barrel. Happy to throw away the keys for people engaged in torture. Despicable behaviour.

Jellykat · 07/05/2024 20:11

I cant open the link im afraid, too upsetting.. i know what youre talking about though because i heard it on the news earlier.

Their are some sick fucks in the world!!

There is no hope for people that do such cruel things. A bullet to the head would be too kind.

This.

Cant read the article, I’ll have nightmares.

TonTonMacoute · 07/05/2024 20:14

I have chickened out and not read any of the awful details, but the whole thing is just baffling.

I shudder to think what makes these sick fucks tick . I assume they really want to watch people being tortured and this is the next best thing.

Most farm animals in the uk are treated in the same way yet most people eat meat, eggs and dairy without a second thought.

I don't know any farmers or abattoirs that put live animals in a blender. So not treated in the same way at all........

Pigglysquat · 07/05/2024 19:52

Sick people with nothing better to do with their lives than do this. I wish they could be sentenced to the same torture they inflicted on the animals. Prison is too kind.

I've yet to pay to watch someone torture my tea to death? ... Confused

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 07/05/2024 20:29

@Pigglysquat
So sorry huge apology ... I was replying to the post above you

thelengthspeoplegoto · 07/05/2024 20:39

Painful to read. These people should be removed from society for good.

I don't know about this... I think people like this have always existed... psychopaths

if you look at common themes in the childhoods of serial killers, almost all of them would have tortured animals at some point. these are psychopaths. I mean obv there is the nature v nurture debate, but imo something is structurally wrong with their brains. I am sure someone somewhere has done mri scans and compared them to non serial killer brains

I haven’t opened the link but after reading about a child being fed to crocodiles in India because the child was disabled,I have lost my faith in humanity!!

Utterly sickening.

honestly what happens to disabled people in many poorer countries in the world is unbelievable.

eg. psychiatric hospitals keeping patients in chains
abandoned by families because they can't afford to support them
no facilities for rehabilitation or adjustments
