Target: TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew
Goal: Ban TikTok clips that show animal cruelty and report potential abusers to authorities.
Disturbing videos of what appear to be owners abusing their pets have been popping up on TikTok. It is important that they are permanently banned, and that such behavior is immediately reported to authorities so that the actions of potential animal abusers can be investigated.
One video reportedly shows a woman slapping her cat in the face while the animal displays clear signs of distress. Another video appears to show a famous sports player named Kurt Zouma harshly kicking his cat. A separate clip appears to show an animal clearly crying in pain with entire pieces of cheese stuck to their paws. Other owners have been accused of wearing cat masks to try and scare their pets, which could result in the animal having a heart attack. Some owners are also allegedly using tape to confuse their animals into thinking they are going to run into a barrier, resulting in pets losing their balance and uncontrollably flying across the room.
Although TikTok has been made aware of the issue, it was reported that they only took down a couple of these allegedly cruel clips. Sign this petition to demand the company permanently ban all such videos and to further insist any such aberrant behavior be promptly reported to the appropriate authorities.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CEO Shou Zi Chew,
Many videos that appear to show owners acting abusively toward their animals have been viewed on your platform. All such videos need to be taken down, and any clips where animal cruelty is suspected need to be reported to police so that no pets will have to deal with inexcusable acts of cruelty.
Viewers reported watching a woman violently slap her cat in one clip and another well-known soccer player seemingly fiercely kicking his cat in another video. Some people are allegedly putting on cat masks to frighten their pets. Other owners have been accused of creating fake barricades with tape, causing the animals to try and instinctively avoid them by using clumsy and unpredictable body movements. Experts claim that tactics used to purposely scare animals can lead to them having psychological trauma and sometimes even be a cause of death.
While it is good news that you have taken down a couple of clips that show this alleged abuse, all such videos should be removed from TikTok. For these reasons, I demand you take down all videos that appear to show violent behavior toward pets and that you also quickly report any alleged animal abuse to authorities to hopefully keep these innocent creatures from experiencing more unfounded cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Shame on TikTok for showing the disgusting abuse and torture of animals. Anyone who abuses animals is unfit to live in society and should be jailed and forbidden to own animals in the future. This is garbage and should be banned!
Exactly!! This is why I hate TikTok, and will never set up a TikTok account for myself! TikTok should be completely discontinued!
I got off of Facebook years ago when they showed kids killed puppies.
This is animal
Abuse and against the law. Innocent animals do not deserve to be hurt and tortured in any way
Shocking cruelty by brainless idiots.
These kinds of videos shouldn’t be anywhere on social media. It gives people ideas that it’s okay to abuse and torture defenseless animals. So please take them off your social media site and don’t allow it. If you care at all remove them it’s disgusting it’s hurtful it’s cruel and don’t we have enough crap going on in the world without kids and people with mental issues doing this just for fun? If you’ve ever had a pet you’ll understand
I don’t have any respect for any network or social media that displays animal torture, abuse and death in any way. If that’s what social media has to provide then we don’t need it. We have enough psychos out there without having to provide them visual entertainment and satisfaction as well
The videos this sickening and cruel abuse need to be immediately banned from tic tac and any other form of social media. The people providing the videos should be thrown in jail as well as the CEOs of the platforms that support these videos by showing them.
Without stiff, very stiff punishment prison time this will never stop. Where’s the petition to change laws for animal abuse???
Look for polititions in your state who are animal friendly and vote for them. NOT BEFORE YOU KNOW THIER RECORD ON ANIMAL ABUSE. In Brooklyn a pos went to jail RECORD SEVEN YEARS for setting stray cat on fire.
I think this is awful. Abusing any animal is wrong. All involved in doing such mistreatment of animals should be charged with cruelty to animals. Come on, you know this is wrong. Stop showing this on Tik Tok and report to the appropriate authorities.
These videos and all future videos with any type of animal abuse need to be banned. Why not focus on kindness and good? Let that be something people strive for please.
There’s nothing funny or entertaining about animal cruelty and abuse. IMMEDIATELY BAN ALL VIDEOS OF ANIMAL ABUSE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THEM, PERMANENTLY BAN THOSE WHO POST THEM AND REPORT THEM TO AUTHORITIES. Animal abuse is a serious crime. Start taking it seriously.
Monstrous monstrous evil, heartbreaking and horrific, karma is theirs – I feel you, poor lost innocent souls; their blood on your souls
The abuse, torture & murder of the innocents
Some heartbreaks can never be unseen, some horrors never unheard – PLEASE GOD
And the universe weeps tears of blood
Your life as theirs, as their death
STOP AND BAN THESE VIDEOS OF ANIMAL TORTURE AND ABUSE NOW!!! ON TIK TOK AND ANYWHERE ELSE!!! WHAT KIND OF UNHINGED, DISPICABLE BUSINESSES SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE HORRIFIC, DISGUSTING ABUSE OF ANIMALS??!! OR ANY LIVING BEING?? ISNT THERE ENOUGH VIOLENCE IN THE WORLD??!! WHEN DOES IT STOP?? WHEN IS IT ENOUGH?? BUSINESSES THAT PERMIT, ALLOW, ENCOURAGE VILE SCUMBAGS OF THE BUTTCRACK OF SOCIETY TO POST OR VIEW ANY TYPE IF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS MAKES THE BUSINESS OWNERS AS BAD OR WORSE!! CEASE THE HORRIFIC, DISPICABLE, VILE, DISGUSTING, IGNORANT, STUPIDITY OF PERMITTING AND MAKING MONEY OFF THE VIOLENCE TO ANIMALS NOW!!!!! BAD KARMA TO YOU!!! BAD JUJU TO YOU!!! EVERYONE INVOLVED WILL SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE ALMIGHTY’S ANIMAL PROTECTORS!!!
Sounds to me like you think the abuse is ok, just posting video is bad. God did not create animals to be abused, trophy hunted or used as entertainment.
I swear, I am getting so sick of hearing that “humans” like this exist. When will this planet be washed clean?
PEOPLE WHO DO KINDS OF HORRIBLE THINGS TO ANIMALS ARE DESPICABLE LOW-LIFE HEARTLESS SCUMBAGS AND NEED TO BE ARRESTED FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY. THEY ARE EVIL PSYCHOPATH MONSTERS AND WEBSITES SHOULD NEVER ALLOW THESE TO BE VIEWED AND WATCHED BY SICKO PEOPLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
I would suggest people refuse to watch anything, no matter how sweet or funny, on this vile platform. So if you are sent a link, see it on Twitter or Facebook post something to say you won’t contribute to its viewing numbers because of xyz.
Word will soon go round, more people will boycott it and TikTok will have no choice but to change.
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew
YOU NEED TO STOP THESE HORRENDOUS VIDEOS .NOW! IF YOU CAN’T VERIFY CONTENT OF ALL POSTS TO TICK TOCK ETC… THEN YOU SHOULD NOT ALLOW POSTING OF ANYTHING! THE WORLD HAS ENOUGH EVIL …SO YOU SHOULD NOT BE ADDING TO THAT!

Shame on you Tik Tok. You should never allow animal abuse to be on your site. You should also repirt all users who do this to the police do they get charged. Makes me sick that such a big social media platform would allow this. Disgusting!
This is a disgrace to humanity and is barbaric to allow this kind of torture and behavior on any social media. Tick tock should be ashamed of themselves to even allow anything this violent. to be viewed. This must be banned now.
Facebook You tube also..Facebook is the most disgusting dispicable of them all..theyll should be held for animal abuse tortures and killing for profits..no matter how you report these staged fake rescues that kids are viewing they still up..so I’m going send these videos to authorities.. there’s tortures and killings of animals on these platforms!!..they need to be held accountable!!
