      Poklek also pleaded guilty to publishing obscene videos for gain, as well as possession of indecent images of children and possession of ketamine.

      uhhhh, how about getting him more than 2 fucking years??

      The judge said Poklek would be released after serving about a third of his prison sentence under the Sentencing Act 2026, and called for longer sentences for animal abuse, which currently has a five-year maximum.

          People get more than that for having a fucking joint on them in some places. Why do we as a society consistently give the worst of the worst light sentences?

              Why is there a maximum for animal abuse? That’s crazy to me…

                Can they not try him for multiple counts of animal abuse? In the US, for some crimes, you’d stack the charges, a sentence might be for 3 years, but with 4 counts of the crime you’d be looking at more like 12.

                    Even in the US most sentences don’t stack consecutively like this. In many other countries, they never stack like this.

                      The US is an outlier, most countries cannot do this. Because otherwise you could be jailed for years if you shoplift ten times or something.

                      The upper limit is usually only used for sentencing if it’s a repeat offender or if occured multiple times.

                        No, this is totally human behavior whether we like it or not. People can and do become like this.

                          no other species would ever do this; it was a uniquely human action (as is recognising it as harmful)

                              you seen Orca’s fucking with seals, or cats with various small animals ?

                              Dudes making money, we literally bomb the shit out of each other’s for shits and giggles and pay people to do that bad.We just normalize the most outrageous atrocities and let the people who do face no consequence

                              that aside, we’re literally committing the worst atrocities on other animals on the planet as we accelerate along the path of the sixth mass extinction

                              Humans are a failed species, there’s something wrong in our heads.

                                  Dolphins, otters, butcher birds, even cats and dogs play with their prey too.

                                  It’s humans that have the opportunity not to do that which makes this crime a bad one.

                              I strongly believe people like this, who actually make and organize those horrific videos/groups, will NEVER be rehabilitated in the sense that they get cleared of these impulses.
                              Every society is better off if they are just permanently dissapeared from any public interaction.
                              Slap a drug pump on their backs and have them so doped up they can only shuffle onwards for the rest of their days.

                                  seems like a waste of resources. I’d feed him to the animals he tortured.

                                    I personally say face them against a wall, but I know that overall people don’t like that solution.

                                          This is not excusable as like rehabilitate-able behavior, he should fertilize an apple tree and be happy about it because that’s the only configuration of his atoms I could see that’d actually benefit anyone.

                                                  The videos were so unthinkably horrific that they offered counseling to everyone that had to watch them as part of the investigation and case. Yet they gave the people involved (not just Poklek, a few other women) the equivalent of a slap on the wrist.

                                                  Zoosadism makes me so violently angry. And modern social platforms like Telegram and Discord have just fueled the distribution (and thus production) of it like wildfire. The one that gets me the most is the prolific cat torture going on in China, due to virtually zero animal rights laws.

                                                  Fuck this gay earth.

                                                          My advice is don’t risk exposing yourself to the material. It’s devastating, and part of me has shriveled and died knowing what’s happening.

                                                          One of the biggest figures (who kicked off a recent movement of cat-related zoosadism in China) got shanked by a woman recently, but unfortunately he didn’t die before she took her own life. Purportedly it was completely unrelated, and he was just a random bystander during a knife attack. Or that’s the spin, because it’s building into a social powder keg right now over there, from my understanding.

                                                          I hope with all my being he dies of complications or sepsis.

If you look up “baby monkeys” on youtube, filter by playlists, they’re all like “stupid baby monkeys” or “ugly creepy baby monkeys”, with the videos’ comments either disabled or filled with “I wish someone would put a shock collar on these forest demons” etc.
