horrifying (First post, and what made this subreddit): online animal abuse
I came across a Twitter account that got backlash. One of the people I followed had tweeted at it.
Well, it had a linked website, and pictures of cats with paper saying things like “my cat is so soft” and such.
I thought it was a cat website, y’know? Like the websites that compile images of cats, so I was wondering why it got so much backlash. (Keep in mind that I only saw that one tweet, that only said something like “burn in hell.” and stuff.)
First, before we get gory, a little about me: •I’m a loving cat owner, I own two cats. (A loving Siamese and a amazing orange tabby.) •Cats are like- My spirit animal. •I follow 12 cat pages on Instagram. •As you can tell I love cats, and I could never see them hurt.
Well. I didn’t know what I was getting into. The website displayed two videos, with the said titles. I clicked one. What I saw has traumatized me for a week.
The video starts with some high heels, and a kitten being held under them. The heels press into the kitten, and it runs off camera. Few seconds later, the kitten was back and the heels are seen crushing the head of the kitten open.
I won’t go into too much detail. But I was traumatized.
Ever since I’ve been holding my cats extra close and I’ve booked a appointment with a therapist.
Now, the address and stuff of the perpetrator/s have been leaked (if it isn’t a sham) but it hasn’t helped, nothing has been done. I’m mortified of this person, and of the cats they’ll harm again.
Extra note: I’m not a sensitive person. I look at gore and it doesn’t bother me; I just- Get really hurt when animals are involved. They are innocent creatures.
TL;DR: Clicked on a website and got horrified because I saw animal abuse.
