Global Cat Torture Video Trade Exposed: CNN Investigation Uncovers Disturbing Trend

CNN's investigation exposes a hidden global market for cat torture videos. The disturbing trend, fueled by communities celebrating animal cruelty, has seen a massive surge in China. Criminologist Jenny Edwards explains the psychological disorder, sexual sadism, often linked to such acts. Activists like Lara from Feline Guardians are fighting to dismantle these networks. "Reporting this is absolutely necessary," Lara states, highlighting the urgency of the situation. While Chinese state media has named and shamed some individuals, criminal prosecutions remain limited. The report underscores the ease with which these videos are produced and distributed worldwide for a small fee.
