Lady Freethinker

A cat named Ginger was allegedly stolen from his porch, restrained, and cruelly shaved while being mocked by children filming the ordeal for Snapchat.

Nearly a week later, his body was returned, placed in a trash can, wrapped in a towel, with bruises and cuts.

The fear and suffering this defenseless cat endured is unimaginable. This was not a mistake — it was deliberate cruelty.

Yet one of the juveniles is reportedly facing only a minor theft charge. That is not enough.

Please sign our petition in the comments below, urging authorities to pursue all appropriate animal cruelty charges, ensure accountability, and push for stronger protections to prevent this from happening again.

Two more individuals have pleaded guilty in cases involving the horrific torture of monkeys.

According to prosecutors, both admitted to helping create, fund, and distribute “animal crush” videos depicting extreme abuse — including the torture of baby monkeys — shared through online networks.

These cases are part of a growing global crackdown on monkey torture rings, first exposed through investigations by Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates in 2021.

While nothing can undo the suffering these animals endured, every prosecution is a step toward dismantling these networks and holding perpetrators accountable.

We’re deeply grateful to the investigators and prosecutors working to bring justice, and we will continue fighting to end this terrible cruelty.
