Bunny-crushing videos stir Chinese online anger

Summary:

This article is about a group of "crush fetishists" causing an online storm in China after uploading graphic videos showing attractive young Chinese women crushing small rabbits.


The girls in the videos covered a bunny with a plate of glass and sat on it for about a minute. She then lifted the glass up to reveal the lifeless bunny and blood oozed from its snout. A rodent was crushed by the high heels that she was wearing and kittens were also among the animals abused in the videos.


The videos had sparked a heated response from Web users, who launched what is known in China as a "flesh search". One chat room entry on the popular portal Net Ease said "it is hard to imagine someone could be so perverted."Another said "Flesh-search them! Uncover these rabbit abuse women and spit on them."


Animal-crush videos were sold to fetishists in search of a sexual thrill. China's censors have in recent years carried out a much-publicised crackdown, saying that it is a proliferation of vulgar online content.

Article appeals to me:

It attracts me because I think animal abuses have been a big issue over almost a decade, some cases are reported like this article but, many are unattended. I wonder people are being serious about the issue, yet people are not really aware and continue their destruction.

Questions: 

I have questions for the "fetishists". What if people do this to you? Crushing not only your favourite things, but ruining your life and making you dislikable and abominable? This is very selfish and the fetishists are mentally abnormal. Animals have the chance to continue their lives and we are not suppose to control them. Self-satisfaction is not an excuse for your cruel action, and basically animal abusers may need to pay for his/her own act via fining or caning even sentence nowadays.

If I were in control:

What the China government did is not sufficient to prevent animal abuses. I think they should practically show the people that they are very serious about it by setting up more organizations on prevention of animal abuses and  lecture the people that animals actually brings happiness to us and their accompanies are particularly important to those who are more diffidence and not comfortable of socialization. Probably students can be instilled the ideas of stopping animal abuses easily since they tend to feel a greater affection for the animals than the adults do.
