Animal Crush Videos to Become a Criminal Offense in PHL
Yesterday, we published PETA's press release about the producers of animal crush videos in the country namely Dorma “Chita” Ridon and her husband, Vic Ridon, who are allegedly forcing underage girls to participate in the torture and killing of animals in gruesome ‘fetish’ videos that's being sold on the internet (CLICK HERE for related article).
The couple were charged with violations of child abuse, animal welfare, human trafficking, and wildlife protection laws and the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is offering a P100,000-reward for information leading to their arrest.
Awareness about the gruesome production of these "crush" videos are necessary to stop animal cruelty in exchange for money that's why Buhay party-list Rep. Irwin Tieng is proposing a bill that would criminalize the sale of animal crush videos and other filmed acts of animal cruelty in the Philippines.
House Bill 4595, prohibits Filipinos from “knowingly selling, marketing, advertising, exchanging or distributing” the videos, which Rep. Tieng publicly denounces as “an extreme form of animal cruelty.”
“It is hard to believe that this sort of thing even exists, and that a law is needed to prevent it. Animal torture is outrageously disturbing. Common decency and morality dictates that those engaged in it should not be profiting from it; they should be imprisoned,” he added.
If passed, violators will be penalized with imprisonment of 3 to 7 years and/or a fine of up to P300,000.
Rep. Tieng continued, “While this torture of defenseless animals is in itself despicable, numerous studies also show cruelty to animals is often the first step leading to violence against people. This law is one step toward ending this cycle of violence.”
Some sick individuals from different countries are paying as much as $1,000 to watch videos of underage girls torturing and killing animals like dogs, cats, rabbits and even monkeys.
Here are some screengrabs from the said videos as provided by PETA to Starmometer:
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Dorma and Vic Ridon and other sick people producing or selling "crush videos" is encouraged to call or text PETA at 0999-888-PETA [7382]. All callers will be given anonymity if requested.
