Global network of sadistic monkey torture exposed by BBC

Silver lining, they were caught.

I made such a surprised face when the torture mogul decided to pose in front of a Trump flag. 😐

"I'm not a bad guy," claims man with swastika tatoo, standing in front of Confederate flag.

Why the fuck is humanity so completely deranged? :(

I have no fucking clue but it gets tiring...
- I wonder if we're actually getting worse or if it's just easier for the scum to coordinate and to some degree also be more visible due to the internet.
  It is starting to feel like things used to be better, like we're spiraling out of control.
  There were more and more mass shootings, the alt right/extremists are spreading like a wild fire all over the globe, shit like this keeps happening.
  I mean what the fuck? Where are we heading? And why? :/
My theory is that we were created by whatever most mythologies define as the devil, or altered / modified genetically by such a being into what we are today. The nice people who are altruistic are genetic throwbacks that the devil tried his hardest to breed out of the human race, but he wasn't 100% successful.
Also, the true purpose of humanity is to destroy the earth via pollution and by killing and eating all the animals rather than to save the earth / take care of the animals. Things like cognitive dissonance were installed via software reprogramming (brainwashing) to take care of the remnant "moral feelings" that couldn't quite be gotten rid of through DNA tweaking.
If you look at what the vast majority of what humankind are doing (rather than the small vocal minority of environmentalists) it honestly makes sense. Then again, I've come to see "God" as a mad scientist / absent minded professor who was all "Let's move fast and break things, it'll all probably work out post-beta" rather than an all powerful creator being. One of the many reasons I left the church.
- Also, the true purpose of humanity is to destroy the earth via pollution
  No. The purpose of a system being what it does, the purpose of life is to consume low-entropy states and excrete high-entropy states to stabilise, overall accelerating the generation of entropy in the universe and thereby hastening its demise.
  Humanity's role in all that is to colonise the stars to do it all even faster.

This is by far the most fucked up thing I've read in a long time. What the fuck is wrong with people? There is no punishment too inhumane for anyone who would do this.

Do you feel the same way about people who eat meat?
- I don't feel like that's a fair comparison. Meat consumption has a lot of issues, but the consumer, at the end of the production chain, does not eat his steak with the mindset of "how much more can I make an animal suffer for the lulz, and can we take pliers to it first?". Mostly, they are apathetic or unaware. (Disclosure: I have reduced meat a lot myself but am not entirely out yet and I keep giving myself B12 deficiency.)
  I'd compare with much higher in the production chain, the people who devised and enforce inhumane practices.

- Both of yall got some issues.

Well that's enough internet for today. Geeze. So glad these people are being tracked down so they can be brought to justice.

Well, that's enough internet for today :(

this is a thread which is newsworthy, but unfortunately this is going to have to be the first thread we lock because it's:

a magnet for people making violent threats that aren't really acceptable and kind of kill the vibe;
a thread where half the comments are some ridiculous argument about veganism and whether eating meat is comparable to this;
and a thread where just generally, the contributions have been the expected "that's awful!" but like. nothing else besides the ridiculous argument that isn't even really on topic. if you want to debate veganism and its merits or whether it's an apt comparison to circumstances like this, please just make a thread for that in Chat or something. i don't think this is asking too much.

Yeah, perfect, solve inhumane crimes with.... other inhumane crimes, to humans. Totally. Let's totally bring back eugenics for "undesirables."

What the fuck?

I agree what the fuck

What. The. Fuck.

Day ruined. This is sick

I heard about the baby monkey video phenomenon a few years ago, so hearing a few of these scumbags have actually been caught made my day.
There is still way too much adjacent material on youtube.

Of course they're circulated on telegram and Facebook. With those flags behind him, I can just imagine his type of clientele. That's incredibly disturbing and unfortunately doesn't surprise me but I didn't expect something like this. Seems like a movie plot level of villains but here we are in reality and this disturbing stuff.

Reminder that the animals people eat are also living and feeling beings who don't want to die for your burger.

I would still rather be killed and eaten than slowly tortured for weeks by someone making money off torture videos.
- Neither needs to happen
- Wouldn't you rather just live and not be tortured?
While you are correct, this is taking away from the outrage about the hurt animals mentioned in this post.
Its rarely like: poor animals I've been eating all my life, I'll be vegan now.
It's more often like: good point, I shouldn't care about these animals neither.
- You, hearing that someone is torturing monkeys: "ah yes that reminds me I should torture some monkeys"
  ???
Plants let out an ultrasonic scream when their leaves are cut or they don't get enough water

- Most farmed plants are used as animal feed, eating plants directly uses much less.
  So even if this nonsense argument had any validity veganism would still be the answer.
I wonder what all the people downvoting think, do they disagree that "food" animals are also living beings?
- They think this isn't the time or place to bring that up. ffs have some tact. Or self awareness at least
- They don't want to feel bad for eating meat. You are making them feel bad therefore you are bad.
  Or something like that.
  Not eating meat every day would make a huge difference but apparently that is too hard.

Absolutely messed up. What is wrong with people?!?

What's wrong with people is that sociopaths who crave money and power to do awful things like this tend to be very good at getting them, whereas people with compassion and kindness tend to be overly generous and want to see the good in others, so tend to give away too much money and power to those sociopaths, especially if those sociopaths are good at putting up a noble front.
Plus, vast segments of the human population are basically blind sheep that don't think for themselves, and do whatever the media tells them to do. Only way to really solve this in the long term is by convincing people with morals to be more ambitious and to understand how to gain, then use money and power to influence society and the media. The dictator / oligarch types are very good at this (controlling money, power, and the media) whereas nice people who just want to help everyone are very poor at this.
- Yeah, a good point I guess. It generally is the same type of person who is somewhat sociopathic who also happens to find themself in a position of power and wealth etc.
There are even people who adopt cats from rescuers and torture the cats

I'd totally forgotten about this. Used to see posts about it on /x/ several years ago back when I still went there. Always wondered if it was just a couple sickos or what. Turns out it's a whole bunch of sickos. Disgusting but sadly not that surprising.

Disgusting but sadly not that surprising.
I'm honestly shocked. It's not the worst thing I've ever heard of but it's a truly horrifying thing that if never considered might exist.

And that’s why I hate and despise people

My childhood of Sesame Street and Transformers and Dr. Suess didn't prepare me adequately for the horrors of humanity.
But at least I didn't become a monkey torturer. So there's that.

What the fuck

Oh god this is SICK(not in a good way)

I've met people saying that animals are property and thus something like this is not a crime.

Dunno why it came to my mind now.

Ah. That it's a good test showing that rights and responsibilities can't, in fact, be completely symmetric. An animal may not have responsibilities, but it shouldn't be abused.

Wow this is the saddest thing I've read this week :(

Get very one of them
