Please NO MORE Pages With Animal Cruelty and Violence on Facebook

The Issue

Currently it is not against Facebook's rules of conduct to create a page depicting animal cruelty and violence which results in a conflict of interest for animal lovers and activists or the many who are just sensitive to animals.  Moreover, it is irresponsible to allow anyone to create and promote a page glorifying the endangerment of a speices such as wolves, tigers or pandas.  Nobody should be able to stumble across a decapitated wolf and laughing hunters.  I would like to ask Facebook to do away with cruel and sometimes graphically disturbing pages such as these.  

This should include:

  • Any page promoting or glamorizing the killing and or torture of animals,pets, and endangered species
  • Crush videos
  • Any violent acts of cruelty
  • Promotion of killing an animal unlawfully
  • Pictures of animals trapped or dead (such as in snare or spring traps)
  • Poached goods such as ivory or horns
  • Any picture or video exploiting an animal for it's fur/skin (illegally obtained or otherwise).
  • The popularizing of animal culls using any method of cruelty or killing

I strongly believe in freedom of expression and that we should be free to believe in what we choose however this can be done without the further torture and murder of innocent animals which does not deserve sensationalism of any kind.

Thank You
