  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
What if the some of the buyers are Chinese too?
I'd bet most of them are and it takes place over wechat/alipay. There's whores taking commissions for cat torturing, it's sexual sadism for most. As that very first Zoosadist from Hangzhou put it, she tortured rabbits and kittens due to stress. Getting money in and out of China is almost impossible anonymously, that by design makes it harder for them to profit from the outside world. In a sick and twisted way, it's probably destressing for some 996 freaks to see cute and innocent creatures being subjected to horrors.

But then, that's how many out of the world's population? You go figure. Most people, even the most heartless and soulless beings would agree that needless torture is bad. That woman from Hangzhou was put on television and lambasted in the early 2000s. A stand that would butcher meat dogs in the wet market near me was shut down because kids were crying about it to schools. Hangzhou was an industrial hellhole with air quality slightly better than a gas chamber back then, even then people hated seeing animals being tortured and killed.

You might also want to stop parroting that Western cope of "Mao did a toll", do you actually believe China was magically friendlier with higher trust prior to Mao? That's very kind of you, lmao.

What, under Sun (Manchurians would disagree... oh wait they're all dead never mind) or Qing (ask Buddhist minorities... oh they're all dead too)? Come the fuck on, over a billion in population is incompatible to high trust and honesty especially when more than a third are on the poverty line, which is a nice 500 million, or 1.5x the USA. I'll be the first to state that the Chinese society has never been high trust and will never be friendly, until the standards of living are high which requires a drastic reduction in the population.

You can see how friendly a society is from the way they treat the disenfranchised. On a smaller scale, it reflects in communities too. Places with wheelchair ramps in China are way friendlier than places without.
 
What sort of recourse would a non-Chinese individual have for even contributing positvely against this (donations, for instance, to organizations who are certainly against this like some mentioned prior--are there more? Especially any who are on the target of the issue.) As I am sure many non-Kiwifarmers read this thread, and I think it'd be helpful to streamline something other than despair to them. Although I see value in documenting the crimes here, the unique matter of it being across the globe to many who use this forum makes me curious to know this. I am trying my best to figure out myself but I am just not very familiar with traversing Chinese internet or orgs.

It may not sound like much but you can sign petitions against this stuff, and also donate to the organizations who work with foreign countries to pass legislation against animal cruelty. I brought them up in the MillionPity thread, but Lady Freethinker is truly a great animal right organization. They are the ones who worked with South Korea to put a ban on the dog meat industry amongst others. They have an article specifically about putting an end to cat torture and a petition you can sign. It may not seem like much for now but every little bit helps.
 
If I didn’t end up down this zoosadism rabbit hole I’d have just done cat photography. I used to live around Roppongi Hills and did this whole Tokyo street cat photography Instagram. I feel like I’ll know when I’m gonna step back, and I’ll just go back to photographing cats, but until then fuck these people.

I like all animals, but I’ll always be biased towards cats. I saw a video of a cat and monkey together, it’s amazing how they interact. Superior life forms in every way to the hideous degenerates we see on telegram.

I haven’t really got into the Aiters situation yet, the surface alone is heartbreaking so just wanted to put a support message here. Anyone who helps a cat is a better person for it.
 
The Feline Guardians Without Borders group shared on their Facebook page that Xu Ruixiang, an admin of the Telegram torture group, has been denied re-entry to Nanjing University, thanks to his zoosadism being brought to the attention of University officials.
Well, I admit that I came across this thread by chance, but I have kept my eyes on zoosadists in China ever since last year and know something about it. Just a few days ago I found this picture on Weibo, which showcases all crimes of Xu Ruixiang.

It seems to be made by anti-abuse volunteers before he was rejected, but provides more details arguing that he is against humanity and disloyal to China. They did so as Chinese people are usually more furious about such misbehavior than just animal cruelty, and the universities also have more legitimate reasons to reject him.

True identity of "Blood Flesh Artist Kiri", core member of Jack Latiao's zoosadist group​

Civil engineering majored student of Southeast University since 2019 - Xu Ruixiang, and its SIN!

  • Kills all kinds of small animals by means against humanity for years! Not even his schoolmate's cat could escape from him!
  • Corroded cats' eyes with strong acid, poured boiling water to cats' head, and soaked dead cats in jars!
  • Killed a stray cat with maltreatment, which has no guarantee of food safety and health at all, then cooked it and let the swagmen eat it! Even shamelessly call it "helping them"!
  • Even though calls himself as a CCP member, he asked the foreign freak who wanted to enter the "Core Group" to write down anti-party slogans on the "petition" submission!
  • Xu Ruixiang is the op and admin of several Telegram groups, but its group is filled with massive anti-party and China-insulting comments.
  • As a Nanjing citizen, Xu Ruixiang allows zoosadists and worshippers of Japanese fascism to freely insult our victimized compatriots in his TG group! And whitewashed the invaders!
  • Xu Ruixiang's daily life is very corrupt, joining in hook-ups for sex everywhere! But it claimed that it would be best for a beautiful woman to end up being killed, as it can avoid the ugliness from aging!
All of these above are supported by screenshot evidences!​
We strongly recommend Southeast University immediately expel him, and Nanjing University reject such a disgrace who damages the college's reputation and image! Nanjing people and all Chinese people should condemn the traitors who distort facts of the Nanjing Massacre and insult the victims! Society resources should be used to foster those who are contributing and loyal to our country! It must not be used to feed a Chinese traitor, a cultist!​
(Yes they use the pronoun it to refer to Xu to stress his inhumanity)​

The city "Nanjing" and phrases like "Japanese fascism" and "victimized compatriots" all point to the Nanjing Massacre, the Imperial Japanese Army's mass murder of Chinese civilians in Nanjing, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In this incident, millions of Chinese people were killed.
Despite being accused with a "worshipper of Japanese fascism", it's more reasonable to believe that Xu simply enjoys the pleasure of killing; the massacre happened in Nanjing is just a good example for his perverted "pursuit". On his Twitter, he call his animal abuse as "works of art", and even claimed that he is willing to kill people for fun.

Also, right after Nanjing University's rejection to Xu, some Chinese news websites also posted articles about it, some of which have even showed people's reactions on the Chinese internet.

Proper translation (not done by a machine, ie done by me.)

Dox of "gorey kiri", core member of Jack Latiao's torture group.​

Dongnan University, 19th semester civil engineering student -- Xu Ruixiang and his crimes!​

>He has been torturing small animals inhumanely for years! He won't even leave his dorm mate's cat out of this!
>(Good fucking grief) Pouring strong acid onto the eyes of cats, scalding (presumably decapitated) cat heads with boiling water, making... WTF? Cat kimchi/preserved cat meat???? WHAT???????????????????????????
>Captures, tortures and kills feral/stray cats, cooks them up and feeds them to the homeless. Zero awareness of food safety protocols. He has the audacity to call this "charitable/virtuous". ioklshjklhasf4!$@%#$^#
>He claims he's a party member (CPC member), but he audits foreign (cat torturer) perverts by making them cite anti-CPC mantras for approval to join his group.
>Xu is the moderator of many telegram groups, however, his groups are riddled with anti-CPC and sinophobic sentiments
>Despite being from Nanjing/Nanking, Xu and his moderators allow Nipponophilic cat torturer's mockery of WW2 victims, they glorify invaders!
>Xu is a degenerate, he pays for sex. However, he thinks beautiful women should be executed. Because this will mitigate them from "hitting the wall" at a later age.
WTF? This guy is a combination of every fucking sick terminally-online collective there is.

We have images to prove this.
We urge Dongnan (East Nanjing'?) university to expel him, we urge Nanjing university to not accept his application. This person is a disgrace to the school. Citizens of Nanjing and all Chinese should ridicule this Nanjing massacre revisionist Han traitor! The country's resources should be used to train future talent who are loyal! It should not be used to feed race traitors and cultists!

Notes:
TG here means telegram, however, under most context, it would mean communists. T is the hammer and G is the sickle. It was a method to circumvent filters from the early days.
反d = anti-d, the letter here is "dang, 黨, or The Party". Anti-d, or anti-TheParty means anti-CPC
I fucking hate this world.
You might be put off by the constant pro-CPC virtue signaling in this post. I see it as a call to action. Such is life when there's no laws against torturing animals.

I guess there's something off-topic to cheer up the mood a bit. China cat news, or something.

Basically some poor guy in Chongqing killed himself by jumping off a bridge. Probably a combination of depression and Chinese Character socialism of 9-9-6 work, no idea.
This was his avatar:
cat.jpg
>I don't want to eat veggies, I was McDonald's

Quite sad. But this was the same bridge afterwards.
I guess if you're cynical, you can say it's a waste of food and it wouldn't bring him back.

Maybe there is hope.

Unfortunately this might be the best way to arouse the government's attention. These zoosadists gather and distribute cat abuse videos on the internet, which means their harm to China society cannot be directly seen. (BTW the Feline Guardians has also accused them of "orchestrating anti-party and anti-government activities" on their organized abuse page)
To be honest, I just don't understand - why can't Xu be arrested? Even there's no law against animal abuse in China, speaking ill of "heroes and martyrs" (those who made significant contributions in CPC military) can result in imprisonment for up to three years, according to China's criminal law.
在刑法第二百九十九条后增加一条,作为第二百九十九条之一:“侮辱、诽谤或者以其他方式侵害英雄烈士的名誉、荣誉,损害社会公共利益,情节严重的,处三年以下有期徒刑、拘役、管制或者剥夺政治权利。”
Whoever insults, slanders or otherwise infringes upon the honor or reputation of heroes and martyrs to the detriment of the public interest, and where the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, control or deprivation of political rights.
The Supreme People's Court of China has even published an article showcasing 10 typical cases dealing with such crimes on its website. Xu was not arrested, just because he insulted not soldiers of CPC but all the Chinese people living in Nanking during WW2, or it's because he posted it on Twitter instead of a social media legally accessible in China mainland?
Official The English name of his undergraduate university, "東南大學", is "Southeast University", whose predecessor was the National Southeast University in the mainland period of Republic of China. "Southeast" might refer to southeast of China? I'm not sure. Both Southeast University and Nanjing University are regarded as among China's top universities, as which Xu's rejection for his cat abuse has reaped widespread attention from the news media and public in China.
Also, there's a confusing word "19届" in the title. It means "the 19th semester" in the literal sense, but that's just not the case. Southeast University of China claimed to have been founded in 1902, and a student of its 19th semester attended the postgraduate entrance exam in 2024 - how can that be? In this case, "19届" might be an improper form of "19級", which means he entered the university in 2019.

I have also found more information about Jack Latiao's group on pictures-of-cats.org. There are two points noticeable:
I’ve been told by a reliable associate (?? – not sure) who knows more than I do about this evil gang of cat torturers that the man I’ve mentioned Xu Zhihui is not the true leader of this gang but a person living in America who funds them. The gang members in China are ‘in hiding’.
WTF? A person in America is funding Jack Latiao, asking him to be the nominal leader of this cat abuse group, but hiding behind the scenes himself? That just sounds too strange. And who is the "reliable associate"? Is he a spy in the Aimaotv group, or is he just trying to mislead others?
Feline Guardians without Borders have contacted Peter J Li, PhD, who commeted about this cat cruelty in response to an email: “Yes, we know there are thugs doing the torture and video circulating of those shocking videos on Chinese cyberspace. These acts are being tackled in internal policy deliberations and discussions in China. Policy elites over there are fully aware and are considering options. We are watching closely. Thanks, Peter (Associate Professor, East Asian Politics, Animal Policy and Law in China).
Although there's no clear indication that China is going to make laws against animal abuse, at least they know the existence of groups like Aimaotv and are willing to make a change, isn't it? In addition to this interview, Peter J Li has also been interviewed by a Chinese media on the ban of dog consumption.
李坚强:
内地公众在犬只问题上争论不休:一边是反对狗肉买卖的多数人,另一边是以狗肉业者及其支持者为主的少数人。
严格讲,中国存在的是狗肉买卖,不存在“要吃狗肉的人”。为什么这样说?
第一,经过多年研究和跟踪,我从来没有看到和读到普通老百姓抗议没有狗肉吃或者要求国家养殖肉狗供他们消费。但是,从业者代表要求保护他们的狗肉买卖产业,并称其为“传统食物”。
第二,中国内地大多数国人没吃过狗肉。2016年我主持过一个覆盖全中国内地的狗肉消费调查,发现70%的国人没吃过狗肉。吃过的30%绝大多数是只吃过一次或少数几次而已。
第三,我们在东北地区做过家庭冰箱内含食物的调查,没有发现居民家里的冰箱内有狗肉。
总之,狗肉业者的宣称,站不住脚。国人不需要狗肉,需要狗肉的是业者、是既得利益者。
Peter J Li:
The public in mainland China is in a constant debate over the dog issue: on one side there is a majority that opposes the trade in dog meat, and on the other side there is a minority dominated by dog meat traders and their supporters.
Strictly speaking, what exists in China is the trade in dog meat, not the people who want to eat dog meat. Why?
Firstly, after years of research and follow-up, I have never seen or read about ordinary people protesting against the lack of dog meat supply, or demanding the government breed dogs for their meat consumption. However, the representatives of the practitioners demanded the protection of their dog meat trading industry and called it "traditional food".
Secondly, the majority of Chinese people in mainland China have never eaten dog meat, and in 2016 I led a survey of dog meat consumption across mainland China that found that 70% of Chinese people had never eaten dog meat. Most of the rest 30% have only eaten it once or a handful of times.
Thirdly, we have done a survey on the food contained in household refrigerators in Northeast China, and we have found no dog meat in their refrigerators.
In short, claims of the dog meat industry are untenable. Chinese people do not need dog meat; it is those who are in dog meat business and those who have vested interests need the dog meat.
His words reveal that despite not illegal, more Chinese people never eat dogs, and opposition to the dog meat ban is more likely from Chinese people who sell dog meat, and probably some extreme dog haters. I think cat eating in China is the same.
 
The Supreme People's Court of China has even published an article showcasing 10 typical cases dealing with such crimes on its website. Xu was not arrested, just because he insulted not soldiers of CPC but all the Chinese people living in Nanking during WW2, or it's because he posted it on Twitter instead of a social media legally accessible in China mainland?
He's way too small for them to actually care. If some of his anti-CPC posts go viral (I have not seen any), that's a different story.
Fact of the matter is, this law is there simply to arrest public figures and non-subservient party members whenever they want. It's China's hate speech law, loosely defined and it was designed that way. It's a bullshit law. It does have padding terms though, which is "if serious". Typically they'll reprimand you, scold you, whine about cultural/social cohesion and tell you to fuck off, don't do it again or else. I know someone who got this talk because he was in a chatgroup with too many politicalspergs. There was even this girl from Nanjing who made WWII dark humour jokes, people were pissed but nothing came of it because though immoral and poor taste, she supposedly didn't break any laws.

Even if they want to enforce it, Xu will not see a day behind bars.

People in Mainland China (what???? EpochTimes said otherwise though!!) badmouth the party daily, barely anyone gives a shit. There was even a lady confronting city security (城管 or city management) telling them to fuck off because the house she was selling goods from far predates the CPC. People actually applauded her and wanted the security people to just leave her alone because she's just selling fucking dumplings. It is illegal to sell goods from unallocated areas in most of China a decade ago.

They've got bigger fish to fry, millions are still in poverty. There's a real estate crisis and two major wars to juggle geopolitically (all 4 involved are China-friendly). They can care less about this faggot. I wish it were different.

I was feeling some optimism upon learning that Mr.Fresh evaded these sick fucks, but since China has absolutely no laws punishing people for animal cruelty, and the CCP most likely too occupied with wars to give a damn about a fringe group of zoosadists, I’m very worried that nothing will ever come of properly punishing these people. I sincerely hope I’m wrong. :c

Oh don’t worry, you can count on a little old fashioned mob justice, there’s a surprising amount of vigilante justice going around in China because the cops avoid getting involved in a lot of things. There’s definitely a huge uptick in animal rights activists & just animal lovers in general over the last two decades in China.

I hate to insert myself in a thread that I never posted in, and have not even read it, but I will have to ask this autistic question, because as someone who has been for a while studying Chinese history and culture, and also its internet subcultures and whatnot, I pray that there actually exists some redeemable qualities and good people living in that shithole.

Since this topic is zoosadism, particularly of cats, animals that I have for years been living with and loving so much, I just refuse to read anything in detail on this thread, the baby monkey rabbit hole was already fucking surreal in its own right, and having to stare that the faces of these convicted felons and meth-addicted grandmas are a torture in their own right, so sorry, but I just cannot bring myself to read the main highlights of this thread at all.

I opened this thread only once a few weeks back, and found out that there is apparently phone app in China where you can find regions where stray cats congregate in, and so that you can feed them, but zoosadists have instead been using this app to find, abduct, and kill these cats on camera, for the sub-human chinks to jerk off to it on the internet, I just gave up reading anything else after that, other than wishing that these chink faggots burn in hell.

Overall, as most the world is aware, China is arguably the place that least cares about animal abuse and cruelty (hell, they barely give a shit about human life, much less the lives of animals), with abuse of any and all animals even, fish, being omnipresent in society, eating the flesh of virtually each and every fucking single living being on earth, said animals being intentionally tortured in unhygienic slaughterhouses instead of just being killed outright, and also remember the rabbit hole that is the fucking cancer called Chinese "Traditional" Medicine, a pseudoscience that has been responsible for contributing to the killings of many endangered species across Asia and Africa just so that some chink faggot can get his microdick hard, and and the average Chinese citizen appears to either view it as normal, to not caring about it

So a question that I have about this topic is: How has the Chinese internet, and the Chinese public as a whole, been reacting to this whole Cat/Dog torture/Zoosadist internet groups?, I heard that China has something called "Human Flesh Search Engine" (badass as fuck name btw), which is more or less the equivalent to KF where netizens look up a persons info and dox them, have any of these KiwiFarms-esque circles in China done the same thing towards zoosadists?, or is this KF thread in the English language the first and main circle that is identifying and doxing these subhumans?

I remember reading somewhere that there was an incident of a Douyin/TikTok faggot who recorded himself tying up a rat, and poking his belly with a chopstick for fun, and apparently, the Chinese netizens got fucking angry at that, doxed him, and demanded him to be fired from his job - all of this over a rat mind you, an animal that has since the beginning of humanity been seen as a disease-carrying pest, and yet is still a sentient mammal who feels and understands pain and death.

I do not remember more information about this ratfucker dox incident or if it was true, but this really gave me some hope, that despite China hosting and seemingly outright tolerating all of the worst aspects of humanity, there still nonetheless exists a considerably large number of Chinese individuals who rightfully call out the senseless torture and killings of small defenseless animals, and demand their torturers to be doxed, shamed, and brought to justice.

I don't know about a Chinese version of KiwiFarms, but as far as I know (someone correct me if I'm wrong) most of the doxxing is being done by Chinese anti-animal cruelty groups. Most of the information I've gotten on places like Twitter seems to be trickled down and translated from Chinese accounts. It's different from the monkeypedos, because with those fags a large percentage of the people facilitating it were westerners, so I imagine it was easier for kiwis to infiltrate their groups.

Mandarin speaker here (not native Chinese but have visited the country many times and know people who live there) and yeah, China actually has quite a few animal rights vigilantes, especially amongst the younger generation. Because there are no real animal protection laws in the country the vigilantes can't do much to incriminate the abusers, so they usually gang up and beat the shit out of these people lol.

There's a whole slew of factors on why these people are more difficult to dox, with language barrier and Chinese not translating well into English being a significant one, plus a lot of the Chinese zoosadists are more evasive than the methhead monkeyfuckers. Living in a country with rampant censorship makes people savvy at remaining undetected.

Western nations have had decades to get their shit together regarding animal welfare (though to be fair the agriculture industry here in the United States is quite barbaric--but that's another topic for another time) because after WWII, more people were leaving the farming life and getting educations and better jobs. People had to spend less time surviving and had the luxury of living in a society where their basic needs were met by the government and industries taking over the hard labor.

China didn't get to experience any of this until the late 20th century. Until the 1970's a majority of Chinese citizens were still farmers who were getting over the devastating Great Chinese famine. 40% of households in China were considered impoverished as late as 1990. Poverty and lack of resources makes people view animals as tools, rather than thinking, emotional creatures. The country didn't really have much of a middle class until the start of the 21st century.

A lot of old folks in China still have memories of scraping by for food and living the peasant farmer lifestyle. They don't have the education that younger people receive. They've clung onto superstitions like Ancient Chinese Medicine which involves some cruelty towards animals. I think in a country that still has a large group of people who think like this, its easier for zoosadists to do heinous shit openly.

China, like many other East Asian countries, is starting to change. The South Korean Assembly passed a law earlier this year that will completely phase out the dog meat industry by 2027. Even though Westerners think Koreans love to eat dogs, there was a study done during COVID where nearly 84% of Koreans said they never ate dog meat in their life. Hell, Korean Buddhists consider eating any kind of meat morally reprehensible.

I know that earlier in the thread I expressed skepticism about China doing anything about it, but after hearing about South Korea and talking to friends who live in China (according to them pet ownership in China has exploded these last two decades), my optimism has been somewhat restored.
