Friend,
I need to be completely honest with you.
I’m tired. I’m drained. I’m worn down in ways I don’t even know how to describe. Every day I sit at my desk and force myself to watch another hour of footage from these online torture groups.
I press play knowing I’m about to see things no person should ever see… and I do it because those monkeys have no one else fighting for them.
Right now, people are torturing monkeys for entertainment. They gather in private groups to trade videos, request cruelty, and cheer each other on. They enjoy it, Friend. They enjoy hurting them.
And we are in those groups every day — tracking them, identifying them, trying to build cases that lead to arrests.
But the things I watch…
The things I hear…
They stay with you.
Baby monkeys with their limbs hacked off. Monkeys held down and sexually violated. Battered, kicked, screaming, shaking. Hours of agony broadcast to strangers.
I’m sorry to bring this to you, Friend. Truly. I’m sorry. I wish I didn't have to. But this is my life right now and I’m exhausted.
Sometimes I sit there with my head in my hands because I don’t know how much more my mind can take. Sometimes I have to pause the footage because the abuse just won’t stop.
But we keep going because those monkeys can’t walk away. They’re trapped in cages. They’re trapped in pain. And they need us to keep fighting for them.
Will you join me by signing the petition to demand stronger sentencing and real enforcement against monkey abusers, Friend?
The image above is real, Friend. I watched that clip this morning. Several baby monkeys are huddled in a tiny cage. One is clinging to the bars, trying to crawl out, trying to get away from the man holding the camera. I know what he does next. I had to watch it. I wish I didn’t.
And that’s why I’m writing to you.
We’re building new cases right now, Friend. We’re gathering evidence strong enough to push for arrests. And we’re fighting for tougher sentencing so these offenders face real consequences — not warnings, not fines, not slaps on the wrist. Real punishment.
But we need public pressure to force this forward.
Your name helps us push these cases further. Your name tells lawmakers that people will not accept weak sentencing for torture. Your name strengthens every step we take toward justice.
Please, Friend. I’m asking from a place of total honesty and total exhaustion.
Will you add your name to demand stronger sentencing and real enforcement against monkey torture offenders, Friend?
For all animals,
