Animals being tortured on Instagram
TW: animal abuse
I accidentally came across an Instagram account that post videos depicting intentional exteme animal abuse.
The videos show live animals being tortured in prolonged, sadistic and horrific ways. In one video, the creator puts a live pleco fish in burning hot oil, and is then covered with ”burn ointment”, while the creator is mocking the fish, saying things like ”let’s see if he can recover”. The fish is then put in a very small tank and he records as the fish slowly dies covered in burns.
In another, a live fish has its skin peeled off and is then put in some sort of acidic or corrosive liquid.
The account appears to present this as entertainment, and there are indications that viewers can pay to influence or request what is done to the animals.
I have already reported the account to Instagram, contacted the police in my country, but they didn’t seem to consider an ivestigation unfortunately.
If you choose to look at the account yourself and believe the content violates the law, please consider reporting it. Also if anybody recognizes the account or has information that could help identify the person responsible, please report it directly to any relevant authorities if possible.
The name of the account is ”madd.scientistt2.0”.
