There has been widespread reporting of the prison sentence handed down to Peter Stanley, who is the first British person to be jailed for the online posting of monkey torture videos. Stanley, who belonged to several groups on Facebook, posted videos depicting baby monkeys brutalised in extreme and sadistic ways for online ‘entertainment’, including genital mutilation. The videos were accompanied by sickening comments posted by Stanley, making light of the monkeys’ obvious suffering and distress.

Jailing Stanley, Judge Ian Harris at Liverpool Crown Court said: "These offences are utterly repellent and have no place in a civilised society." Chief Inspector Kevin Lacks-Kelly, head of the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit said "These crimes are committed behind a veil of secrecy by so called 'communities' and I hope the sentencing shows there is no place to hide for animal abusers.”

Action for Primates alerted the UK police to the activities of Peter Stanley as part of our joint investigative work with Lady Freethinker to expose those people involved in despicable online monkey torture groups.

Two other people in the UK, Holly LeGresly and Adriana Orme, are due to be sentenced in October for their role in paying for and ordering the horrific torture of baby monkeys in Indonesia to make videos to circulate in their Telegram group.

Britse vrouw schuldig verklaard aan wereldwijde aapjes martelingen waarbij mensen tegen betaling konden beslissen de soort marteling die ze op internet wilden zien

A British woman, Holly LeGresley, has pleaded guilty at Worcester Magistrates’ Court to charges of consuming, causing and facilitating the torture of monkeys. She was part of a global monkey torture ring that paid for and ordered baby monkeys to be tortured and killed in Indonesia to create vi deos to be circulated online. She will be sentenced on 7th June.

LeGresley, who called herself ‘The Immolator,’ even ran a poll for group members to vote on the method of torture they wanted to see inflicted upon a monkey for a video to be made, funded by the group. The choices included sealing a monkey inside a jar with red ants, applying a painful substance to the wounds created by a cheese grater or gluing together various parts of a monkey’s body.

Lady Freethinker, a US-based animal protection organization, and Action for Primates, a UK-based project that advocates globally on behalf of non-human primates, have spent three years investigating the sadistic world of animal torture videos. Our evidence and information have been given to various law enforcement agencies and spurred the BBC investigation and documentary about online monkey torture gangs – “The Monkey Haters” – which helped lead to the inclusion of animal cruelty in the UK Online Safety Act.

Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates commend UK law enforcement for taking on this disturbing subject and welcome the charges brought by West Mercia police force. Any individual involved in facilitating such heinous animal cruelty should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The charges are part of an international effort by law enforcement agencies to tackle those groups and individuals who facilitate the torture of baby monkeys. At least 20 people across the globe are being investigated, and several in the USA and Indonesia have already been convicted and imprisoned.

Members of these torture groups are primarily active on platforms such as Telegram and get ‘pleasure’ from watching helpless and vulnerable infant monkeys – some just a few days old – in terror and pain fighting for their lives. The extreme cruelty inflicted upon the baby monkeys included being set alight; having parts of their body cut off, including limbs, genitals, fingers, and toes; their bones broken with a hammer; their heads squeezed in a clamp; beaten viciously; and having their eyes drilled out with a power tool.

“The horrors being inflicted on innocent, baby monkeys for online videos are sickening, and strong actions must be taken to protect animals from such brutality at the hands of humans,” said Nina Jackel, founder of Lady Freethinker. “Those involved in the creation or distribution of animal torture content for ‘enjoyment’ pose a threat to both animals and humans, and they must be held accountable.”

“Such extreme cruelty and depravity must never be tolerated,” said Sarah Kite, spokesperson for Action for Primates, and who assisted the UK police with their investigation. “Anyone involved in this type of behaviour must be held to account, and others need to know that such behaviour will never be tolerated.’’

Shockingly, there are also monkey torture groups on the world’s top social media platforms, and many of these graphic videos – depicting mutilation, burning, beating and more – have also been posted on Facebook, making them easily available for others, including children, to access and view. By allowing these people to operate and post monkey torture content, social media platforms have enabled and continue to enable animal cruelty fetishists to connect and escalate their cruel activities to extreme and grotesque levels. Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates are calling on social media and video sharing platforms to take immediate action to stop the proliferation of animal torture content that is being posted online.

A second woman – Adriana Orme – chose not to enter a plea at this stage and will appear in court again on 5th June.

BBC journalisten gingen undercover en brachten na een jaar lang zoeken de meest vreselijke, walgelijke, beelden van gemartelde en gedode aapjes voor entertainment naar buiten

 

BBC exposes global network of monkey torture

Langstaartmakaken worden gemarteld en gedood voor entertainment, onthulde een jaar lang onderzoek door persbureau BBC, dat een gruwelijk, wereldwijd netwerk van apenmarteling blootlegt dat zich uitstrekt van Indonesië tot de Verenigde Staten.

De BBC vond honderden klanten in de VS, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en elders die mensen in Indonesië betaalden om baby-langstaartmakaken op film te martelen en te doden. De politie achtervolgt de kopers nu en er zijn al meerdere aanhoudingen verricht.

Deze gruwelijke video's worden verspreid op privégroepen op de versleutelde berichtenapp Telegram. BBC-journalisten gingen undercover in een van de belangrijkste Telegram-martelgroepen, waar honderden mensen bijeenkwamen om extreme martelideeën te bedenken en mensen in Indonesië te betalen om ze uit te voeren. Baby langstaart makaken apen werden mishandeld, gemarteld en soms gedood op film.

De BBC spoorde zowel de folteraars in Indonesië als distributeurs en kopers in de VS op. Een van de belangrijkste distributeurs in de VS stemde ermee in om met de BBC te praten en zei dat het ging van "babyflesjes plagen tot vingers die worden afgeknipt."

Ten minste 20 mensen worden wereldwijd onderzocht, waaronder drie vrouwen die in het VK wonen en een man uit de VS. De politie in Indonesië heeft twee mannen gearresteerd voor dierenmishandeling.

Special Agent Paul Wolpert zei dat alle betrokkenen van de wetshandhaving diep geschokt waren door de aard van de misdaden: "Ik weet niet of iemand ooit klaar zou zijn voor een misdaad als deze."

Iedereen die betrokken is bij het kopen of verspreiden van de apenmartelvideo's moet "op een gegeven moment een klop op de deur verwachten", voegde hij eraan toe. "Je komt er niet mee weg."

"We hebben een escalatie gezien in deze extreme, grafische inhoud, die vroeger verborgen was, maar nu openlijk circuleert op platforms zoals Facebook," zei Sarah Kite, mede-oprichter van dierenorganisatie Action for Primates.

Kite riep op om de Britse wetten bij te werken om het gemakkelijker te maken om personen te vervolgen die betalen voor het maken van martelvideo's. "Als iemand proactief betrokken is bij het toebrengen van die pijn door ervoor te betalen en een lijst te verstrekken van dingen die ze met het dier willen doen, moeten er sterkere wetten zijn om hen ter verantwoording te roepen," zei ze.
