Force Facebook and YouTube to stop showing animal abuse videos

The Issue

When a video of animal abuse pops up uninvited on your newsfeed, it can be distressing. Sure you can block those particular videos...but why are Facebook and YouTube allowing them to be uploaded in the first place? Facebook's official "standards" state that they do not allow content "showing, admitting to or encouraging harm against animals" or "staged animal fights". Yet when myself and others have reported 'Monkey JoJo Happy's videos we have all had the following response from Facebook: "it doesn't go against one of our specific Community Standards"

These videos are purposefully enclosing a monkey inside a small enclosure with cats and puppies, ensuring that they fight and get injured...not to mention the utter disgusting cruelty on all animals involved. 

We need to stop these videos being shown and stop the uploaders from profiting from animals abuse
