It is a much-quoted suggestion and belief that a child or person willing to inflict pain, cruelty, and death on defenseless animals displays a characteristic trait that could categorize them as anti-social and potentially psychopathic. It has been a trait of many of the infamous serial killers throughout history that such behavior was apparent in their childhood.

At what point does such behavior transition from being something that should be taken as a warning sign to being, in video format, something that is acceptable as readily available content, viewable by the entire viewing audience on Facebook?

Videos depicting the exploitation and cruelty towards Baby Monkeys, in particular, are both vile and have no place in a social media environment where many of the viewers are younger in years. It is sickening and vile to think that sequences depicting behavior tantamount to torture, clips showing the slow death of Monkeys by constrictor snakes and other animals such as dogs, do not breach the ethical standards of video content on Facebook.

It is disgusting and outrageous that even after this manufactured sickness has been bought to light by numerous international periodicals and media that such videos showing the abhorrent treatment of these animals remain easily accessible on Facebook.

As people with ethical morals towards the rights of all creatures, not just on Facebook but globally, the undersigned ask that you, as the chief strategy officer at Meta, the parent company of Facebook, act by banning these and such vile videos as viable content on your platform.

Further, we ask that you close all existing Pages involved with posting such content and make it illegal to post such content moving forward.

In closing, I would firstly like to thank you for acting on this petition, and secondly, with a quote from an unknown source;

"As long as people think that animals don't feel, animals will have to feel that people don't think."

Thank you.
