Get Animal Abuse off of Youtube!
The Issue
Animals are unquestionably interesting. This fascination with animals has unfortunately made them the target of entertainment industries. Animals are used for entertainment in a wide variety of ways. They are used in everything from 'actors' in circuses to 'props' in Hollywood horror movies. It is extremely unfortunate that animals are unwillingly forced into such industries where they may be subjected to many forms of cruelty, abuse and misuse, all for the humor and entertainment of people.
The internet is now full of video sharing websites where users can post their own homemade videos. This has led to countless numbers of amateur animal fighting videos being made which are now circulating on the internet. These videos are harmful for various reasons. They promote to viewers that being cruel to animals to get attention is entertaining and justifiable.
The popularity of these videos has resulted in many copy-cat videos of other people subjecting animals to abusive situations for shock value.
Youtube is the most popular video-sharing website in the world. Please take a moment to ask the Youtube team to remove all videos that depict any form of animal cruelty or misuse.
