Crack Down on Monkey Torture Rings

Across the world, organised online networks are paying for the torture and killing of baby monkeys, purely for entertainment.

Most of these videos are filmed in Asia, then sold or streamed to paying viewers around the world, including in the United States. Some participants pay as little as $10 to join private groups where they vote on torture methods and request specific acts of cruelty.

Despite arrests and convictions in the United States, these networks continue to reform and migrate across platforms like Telegram, Signal, Facebook, and video-sharing sites. Weak penalties, encrypted groups, and poor platform enforcement allow offenders to regroup and continue abusing animals.

Sign now to tell the U.S. Government and international authorities to treat monkey torture networks as organised crime, strengthen cross-border enforcement, hold online platforms accountable, and permanently dismantle these abuse rings before more animals are tortured and killed for profit and gratification.
