Babies no less. This seriously made me cry. I'm holding my baby boy right now and the thought of anyone torturing such an innocent being fills me with indescribable anger and sadness. They need to be locked up forever.

I'm crying too. It's just overwhelming to think about. Evil.

RubyWitchJune 20, 2023

I can't wrap my head around this level of evil, I get upset if I hurt critters in video games - every single person involved in this needs to be locked away forever because nothing will convince me that someone capable of such things wouldn't move on to humans (if they haven't already)

How do people become like this? How does someone get to the point that they’re relishing in the torture of an innocent creature? This is pure evil.

I remember seeing some videos years ago of baby monkeys on Youtube with some really weird and violent comments. I was baffled. I guess now I understand what that was about.

I wouldn’t be against throwing everyone involved in this BS into a rocket and firing it into the sun.

I've been following this on kiwifarms. Ive seen some of the worst the internet has to offer, but this takes the cake. Watching men and women abuse the monkeys really just makes me speechless. And the comments on the videos on yt is just as bad.

Its the million pity thread if you want to read the op on kf.

Where do you access kiwifarms? The clear net version is still down.

I read this article last night before you posted this. Actually I only read half the article because it was too much. People who are into torturing animals and killing animals are absolutely fine with torturing and killing humans too. Who could look at this and get some thrill out of it? And the comments. These people walk among us.

I am so tired of the internet being a vehicle for despicable people being able to gather together and act out their nefarious deeds.

Why?? What would any human get out of this??

MandyJune 20, 2023

I'm sure it is run by and patronised by men.

womenopausal [OP]June 20, 2023

Two out of three ringleaders in the article were named as men, one as a woman. And from other sources, both the torturers who were arrested are described as male so I thought it belonged here.

ThelnebriatiJune 20, 2023

Its both sexes.

MissBehavedJune 20, 2023

As far as we know, but now I am highly suspicious of anyone doing such things who is called 'she'. Half the time I check it ends up being a TIM. Women of course can be evil like this too, but it's a rarity.

Julie92845June 20, 2023(Edited June 20, 2023)

It isn’t at all unusual for women to take part in the videos of this kind of thing.

Not too long ago some women were arrested for “crush” videos involving cats.

Many of them are probably just there because they’re being paid, but IMO they’re just as culpable,

ThelnebriatiJune 20, 2023

We really have to tackle the myth that women aren't abusive because it doesn't stop child or animal abuse, and its harmful to survivors.

snailsJune 21, 2023

Exactly!

Men are far more often abusers because of sexism, aggression, and a physical advantage, but women can be just as vile and evil. It’s not feminist to claim women can do no wrong.

womenopausal [OP]June 20, 2023

I've checked another source which has photographs and I'm convinced that it was a female person.

proudcatladyJune 20, 2023

Lol

ThelnebriatiJune 20, 2023

I'm sorry you feel you can't allow women agency, but its your problem.

[Deleted]June 20, 2023

Do not look at articles reporting on this with pictures. Learn from my mistake :( i hate men

notsofreshfeelingJune 20, 2023

I can't wait until this planet can be free of us.

MaryDyerJune 20, 2023

Jesus Christ what the fuck is wrong with people?

DerpinaJune 20, 2023

people?

chocolatefondant21June 21, 2023

I interpreted this comment as they’re not even human for doing this in the first place

Julie92845June 20, 2023

We all know it’s men to the largest degree, but make no mistake. Women are often involved in animal abuse/snuff films.

I’ve heard some horrific stuff being described from these videos and there are plenty of women.

legopantsJune 20, 2023

same comment i make whenever this is said. especially when listening to true crime podcasts w my family.

snailsJune 21, 2023

Unfortunately in cases like animal abuse and child abuse, women can be just as cruel and abusive as men.

Abuse is a power dynamic, and women are stronger and more powerful than small animals and young children.

However, this isn’t to say that the vast majority of abusers of all kinds aren’t male — male pattern violence is undeniable.

IdentifyAsTiredJune 21, 2023

I was shocked that some of the ringleaders were women. Hell, I was abused by a woman myself but for some reason this still shocked me.

Those poor babies.

Killer_DanishJune 20, 2023

McCartney, a former motorcycle gang member who spent time in prison before entering the monkey torture world, ended up running several Telegram groups in which hardcore torture enthusiasts distributed videos.

The Confederate and Trump flags behind him were no surprise.

☹️ poor baby monkeys

snailsJune 21, 2023

If it gives you any peace, another BBC article I read said the monkey named Mini ended up recovering, and she will soon be released to an island that humans aren’t allowed to go to for conservation reasons.

It doesn’t excuse the number of monkeys that died at the hands of these sadists, but I was glad to know the most “famous” one will live out the rest of her days without abuse.

[Deleted]June 21, 2023

That actually does make me feel better. I wish I could comfort her in a way but it's enough to know that nobody will ever do that to her again

chocolatefondant21June 20, 2023

I can’t even finish reading this article. So vile and disgusting.
