INVESTIGATION: Inside the sadistic world of the gruesome cat torture craze, campaigners call on Chinese authorities to act NOW

Campaigners are calling for the Chinese government to act now following a sickening investigation into a horrific feline torture trend in which internet users pick from sickening menus to watch inhuman abuse of cats.

China Cats Protection, together with the NoToDogMeat charity have been tracking the activities of the Jacklatio group, and a man known as ‘Wang Chao Yi’ or ‘Cat Addiction Therapist’, who are at the forefront of the sick craze.

Campaigners uncovered a sick network which is presented as sites advertising lost and found cats, but the links lead to a dark web of sinister torture, which include kittens being filmed having their limbs severed and cats being stabbed in the eyes.

In one deeply distressing video seen by campaigners, a pregnant cat is sliced open and her kittens are pulled out and killed in front of the desperate animal. 

And in another brutal twist, female campaigners who have confronted the torturers have been told to send sexual images, in exchange for the cats not to be killed.

Julia de Cadenet, who founded the NoToDogMeat charity and has been part of the investigation, said: “Our brave activist friends have managed to infiltrate the Telegram chat groups where orders are taken and monies exchanged to torture the animals.

England: Jeremy Clarkson receives dark Christmas gift from animal rights organisation.

This is someone who always boasted about trying to run down foxes when he was out in his shit cars.

He is now a ‘farmer’ who no doubt welcomes the hunts onto his land.

England: Animal charities react to sentencing of Oxfordshire huntsman.

Animal rights groups said a sickening video showing a huntsman throwing a live fox to baying hounds was more evidence that legal trail hunting was being used as “a smokescreen” for illegal hunting with dogs.

Oliver Francis Thompson, 32, of Old Berkshire Hunt Kennels in Farringdon, swerved jail after admitting two animal welfare offences, one of which involved encouraging his dog to terrorise a captive fox.

In footage recorded in July 2020 that Thompson shared with his friends, he is shown with a young fox in a trap, with his Patterdale terrier Nellie being encouraged to bark and menace the animal at very close quarters.

Later, the fox is taken out of the trap by Thompson and, held by the scruff of his neck, is repeatedly thrust at the barking dog 19 times. 

In a second incident filmed on Christmas Eve in December that year, Thompson, in a hunting jacket, digs a fox out of its earth, surrounded by people also wearing hunting jackets, terriermen and a child.

Vietnam: Restaurant that drowned 300 cats a month to make cat soup shuts down for good.

A Vietnamese slaughterhouse that drowned 300 cats a month for the Southeast Asian country’s feline meat trade has been closed down for good.

Pham Quoc Doanh, 37, ran the Gia Bảo restaurant in the Thịnh Đán ward of Thái Nguyên, the capital of the northeast province of the same name, for five years.

‘Specialty cat meat,’ the sign outside the eatery on Quang Trung Street once read, with a photograph of a wide-eyed black cat in the top-right corner.

Eating cats is relatively common in Vietnam, where the decade-old appetite for felines has seen their meat be considered an aphrodisiac, lucky charm and even a health-boosting superfood that combats Covid-19.

The Link Between How We Treat Animals and Our Well-Being.

“The message we are getting is that if we don’t take care of nature, it will take care of us.” —Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, deputy executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme

PJ: Our treatment of animals is linked to key crises affecting us today like pandemics and epidemics, climate catastrophe and pollution, antibiotic resistance and other threats to public health, and even violent crime. We too are animals.

Today, ethologists confirm many resemblances between humans and animals, from whales to even invertebrate creatures like bees. They describe these and other animals as sentient, intelligent beings who express emotional states.

I read a lot of animal news stories to find which ones to cover for CBC Kids News.

This year, I noticed many of those stories focused on animal rights.

The Canadian Oxford Dictionary defines animal rights as “the right of animals to be free from abuse or exploitation by humans.”

How animal rights are protected varies in different countries.

People don’t always agree on whether animals’ rights should be prioritized above peoples’ cultural traditions.

In 2023, three new laws from around the world were introduced that will shape how animal rights are upheld in those countries in the future.

Here’s a year-end wrap of some of the big stories that made the news.
