Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, has removed hundreds of animal cruelty posts and abusive accounts.
Some of the videos showed helpless kittens thrown into water before someone stepped in for a staged “rescue.”
Others showed puppies, cats, and baby monkeys terrified, trapped, injured, or deliberately placed in danger while cameras recorded every second.
Viewers thought they were seeing compassion, but the suffering was staged from the start.
The removal of these posts could help spare countless animals from being used the same way for clicks and online attention.
Meta has also started strengthening how it identifies and removes animal cruelty content that breaks its policies.
Seeing abusive pages disappear gives hope that fewer animals will be forced into terrifying situations just to create shocking videos for strangers online.
Animals suffer when they are treated as objects instead of living beings capable of feeling pain and fear.
Cruelty grows quickly when there are endless animals available to exploit, abandon, neglect, or replace.
Dogs and cats born onto the streets often face hunger, injury, fear, and suffering long before anyone ever points a camera at them.
The world's 600 million stray dogs and 87 million stray cats give birth to over 1 billion homeless puppies and kittens every year.
Tragically, those who survive also reproduce, creating another generation of homeless strays and repeating the cycle of suffering year after year.
This is why our mission is to end the #1 cause of suffering and death for dogs and cats — overpopulation — by developing a Cookie that will only need to be eaten one time, and it will, in effect, spay or neuter — without surgery.
With your help, we will end this suffering!
Please join us.
Thank you for caring and for helping animals.
