Facebook refuses to remove video of kitten being covered in petrol and set on fire

This is quite disgraceful, but then hardly surprising considering Facebook considers beheading videos within it's guidelines.

I'd advise not reading the article if you're an animal lover. The headline, unfortunately, is descriptive enough.

I bet they're too busy protecting children from breasts.

You're probably not wrong there

Yet they removed my pictures on a history group of an old town centre bus station for pornography even though there wasn't even any topless people in the pictures! :mad:

Thankfully, no-one has to; you painted pictures with words in the thread title.

The lumps of fat on a female's chest are apparently far more harmful to young minds than watching death and torture.

Edit: Just got a new kitten and I am going nowhere near that article.

The article does actually describe the video in detail. As bad as the thread title is, reading the description is worse.

Puritanism, it's a funny thing.

Give me five minutes with him, I'd do the same to him, he should be tortured to death, he should be strung up by his genitalia, etc, etc, etc.

Really hope a hack group hits Facebook and takes it down for a few days, only way Facebook will learn is to hit them where it hurts in the pocket.
As for the scumbags doing that to that poor kitten karma will get them.

Where was the baiting?

Who the hell oversees these decisions on FB? Ridiculous its not taken off. The users are just as bad for sharing the video.

Where's Gary Mckinnon when we need him?

FB wouldn't remove that horrific video of those girls trampling a poor little puppy to death either.

Yet my mother had a photo of her removed that someone else had put up just because she didn't like her hair on it!

It's a joke.

Joey_J · 09/09/14 - 14:14

Good luck finding them...

South American I reckon, no chance of getting them

Loads and loads and loads of unimaginable brutal sick videos against other humans come out of those countries

videos of Animal cruelty I imagine is hardly going to raise eyebrows there unfortunately, the Barbaric brutality on other humans will drown that video out, and sadly...quite easily as well

idlewilde · 09/09/14 - 14:21

If it's any consolation, Facebook take animal cruelty quite seriously. During my recent rat problem in the garden, I caught one in a rat trap, and being very pleased with my trapping skills I posted this photo on my Facebook page

Dead rat caught in a trap

It was promptly reported and I was forced to remove it, on the grounds of depicting violent images or something.

CBFreak · 09/09/14 - 14:24

I dared open the link but didn't watch the video in it. Sure as hell didn't want to.. I did find it disturbing that Facebook commented with the following:

""While we do not allow content that directly encourages violence, we try to create a safe environment that balances people's desire to express themselves and in some cases condemn what they see."

The BIB disturbs me most

Sick. Facebook are just as guilty as the men who killed that poor kitten.

Facebook are scum.

In fact, this is enough to make me seriously consider deleting my account and having nothing to do with them ever again.

I'm actually considering doing the same tbh.

Facebook seriously has their priorities wrong when it comes to which videos should be taken down and which should be left up. I wonder if the decision about which videos are to be taken down and which to leave up has come from Zuckerberg or his head staff?

All Facebook are doing is desperately trying to defend their decision of keeping videos like this up. Facebook will remove images of breasts but then keep videos up that show animals being cruelly killed. I'd love it if Facebook started dying off.

A lot of other websites seem to be butt licking Facebook by doing things like making it mandatory to have an account with Facebook to comment on news or blog articles for example. :mad:

How can people be so cruel, sick ****s! :mad:
