Talk:Cruelty to animals

Suggestion
Should we add a section listing incidents/scandals and companies that committed animal cruelty? If so, here are a few. Note the fact that they are not in order, so maybe someone can organize it later.

List of Animal Cruelty Incidents

 * 1) The Peluchin Entertainment Controversy was about a 16 year old Gaming YouTuber who killed his pet cat for attention
 * 2) A YouTuber named Ssoyoung ate animals alive for attention
 * 3) PETA has done so much animal cruelty, that it needs a section of its own.
 * 4) A Twitch livestreamer threw her cat off a balcony
 * 5) A YouTuber named Shuno Yo has killed hundreds of dogs and animals due to child trauma

 * 1) Ew! (disgust reaction) I surely wouldn't want to read any of those articles.
 * 2) You are recommending a "list" of actual cases. Wikipedia has much written about the creation of "lists" in articles (or even as standalone list-articles). A good place to start might be reading Victim lists (just substitute the idea of human with animal) for an understanding of why this sort of list will probably not be acceptable within Wikipedia. If these sorts of cases already were notable enough to have their own articles, then a "list of" such cases/articles would probably be acceptable.
 * 3) There is already an article for PETA; you can edit there. (You might need to sign up for a username account in order to edit that article.)

Response
What I'm about to suggest isn't entirely relevant to the suggestion I'm replying to, but I think bringing it up here seems fitting as it also pertains to animal cruelty in social media. I'm talking about fake animal rescue videos where the video makers put animals in harmful situations and then pretend to "rescue" them. These videos are on the rampant (there are thousands of them online and numerable new pages/channels and videos popping up every day), and the social media platforms do next to nothing to remove them. YouTube say they have "banned" this practice, but they seem to do very little to actually remove this content. Gullible viewers actually think these outrageous videos are for real, even if the abusers are really bad actors, and even if they "rescue" the same animal over and over again, "find" animals the same place over and over again and so on. For sadistic viewers I'd say these videos are like inspiration, propaganda and/or instructions and new pages/channels like that pop up all the time. This is notable enough that it should have its own Wiki page, but I guess for starters it could get a section here. The problem (for me) is that I'm not an academic, and I simply am not able to write such an article or even a section myself, so all I can do here is gather info and links and implore someone who knows how to write properly to do that. Anyone? About this issue in the news: Mon Eddie (talk) 11:47, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
