Petition: Hold Criminal Network Accountable for Abusing Monkeys in Horrific Videos

The FBI recently arrested 11 people in the U.S. for distributing – and ordering the creation of – horrific videos that feature sexually abusing and torturing monkeys.

Sign the petition to ensure that authorities continue their investigation, and hold every single person involved in this criminal network responsible!

The content, known as “animal crush videos,” is all about sadistically harming innocent animals for the entertainment of humans around the world.

In fact, there’s a U.S.-wide conspiracy involved in creating and circulating these videos.

Of the 11 people arrested, authorities charged one man with hiring a child in Indonesia to acquire the requested animals and perform the heinous acts.

Warning: graphic content follows.

The videos included footage of the child cutting off the monkeys’ genitals with scissors, burning their genitals, and sodomizing them with various painful objects.

We must make sure every single person involved in this disgusting nationwide conspiracy is found and held accountable, in order to protect both animals everywhere, and also to protect children from being manipulated into such cruelty. Sign the petition!

Wildlife in catastrophic decline

The 73% decline in vertebrate wildlife populations during the last 50 years (mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish), is primarily driven by human activities that threaten biodiversity.

Habitat Loss and Degradation – human activities like deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture have led to the destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats, reducing the space and resources available for wildlife.

Pollution – air, water, and soil pollution from industrial activities, agriculture, and other sources can harm wildlife directly or indirectly by affecting their habitats and food sources.

Climate Change – changing weather patterns, rising temperatures, and sea levels are disrupting ecosystems and impacting species’ ability to adapt and survive.

Overexploitation of Resources – unsustainable hunting, fishing, and logging practices can lead to the depletion of populations and the loss of biodiversity.

Invasive Species – the introduction of non-native species can disrupt ecosystems, compete with native species, and threaten their survival.

Help to protect wildlife by donating as little as $5. Our conservation partners spend at least 80 percent of the money raised on actual fieldwork rather than administration and fundraising.
