    Yeah, I was in a good mood a few minutes ago.

    I’ve read and seen some pretty horrible stuff on the internet but this article disturbed me a lot. Something about animal abuse really affects me.

  He will formally make a plea later this month and is facing up to five years in prison.

  Only up to 5 years...

    Good thing he's white and they didn't find any weed. Poor guy wouldn't see the daylight again

    The most fucked up thing is that he’s getting busted for sharing the videos with others. If he just kept it on its own device, he would have walked free.

  That picture. Jesus Christ. In 20 years there will be studies on all of the red flags people willfully ignored.

  Global monkey torture network! Try saying that five times fast!

  Also, I'm a little surprised that monkey torture is popular enough to have its own network of fans. Where are they gonna hold Global Monkey Torturecon?

    Probably serious overlap with CSAM rings.

    You don't seem like an edgelord so I'm thinking maybe you don't know much about this case.

      Well, no. I'm more a Dork Web (federated) kind of guy than a Dark Web (holy shit this will get me put in jail) kind of guy.

      I'm genuinely puzzled that this is a thing. Some people really enjoy sadism, but this is a very specific flavor, one that would be kind of difficult and expensive to maintain. Hey, let's go get a monkey to torture. Who says that? Who wants that?

      Same. Until reading comments, I really thought the group was referring to themselves as digital monkeys, and they bullied people online to the point of it being torture.
      After reading comments. Well - I’ll still open the article, but I’ll only skim it.

    I didn’t want to read it, was the whole point to just torture the monkeys? They weren’t doing it for any other purpose??

    • livus@kbin.social ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They were getting money but the paying customers just wanted to see extreme animal cruelty yes.

  Holy fuck. That’s something that needs to be eradicated.

  Just when you thought humans couldn’t be more shitty.

  Who ever thought a Confederate would be capable of such cruelty? No, sorry, couldn't keep a straight face through that one.

  In this scumbag’s case, I’m OK with an eye for an eye.
