Tougher laws against publishing animal cruelty images and/or videos

Petition Details

Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937 needs to be updated or additional legislation put in place to require social media and hosting companies to remove animal cruelty content, which is published claiming to be educational or documentaries.

Additional Information

Currently if you search live feeding on these platforms you are met with clear animal abuse. when reported they remain on the sites. This is because they are bypassing rules by adding tags such as educational or documentaries. These videos often show 'pets' which should not be offered to be fed. They are clearly being tortured, abused and die a painful and unnecessary death. The legislation must also ensure companies and content creators are unable to gain money from this content.
