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]

Tik Tok needs to e shutdown and the staff placed in prison for a lengthy period.
Imagine needing to be told to remove animals cruelty from your site. If you use tictoc you are the problem, not them
This is exactly why I hate going onto social media and seeing this happen to animals…get tough on these sons of a bitches and help these animals
Tik Tok and all other social media platforms are rotten to the core as are the people producing videos torturing animals. Prison time is needed for all of them. No need to build new prisons; just crowd them in so they can get an even better taste of life in prison.
THE PEOPLE ALLOWING THIS TO BE POSTED ARE JUST AS SICK AS THE PHYCOPATHS DOING IT!!! WHY IS THE LAW NOT CATCHING THEM????
This is making me sick & very angry!! How can anyone tape this abuse & then think it is something to put out there on social media?? Other abusers mind think this is great & then do there own abusive filming.
THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. Facebook has such strict rules for postings where are the people who have some control over Tik Tok & other forms of media.
This is not free speech or freedom of anything.
I would live to personally to to these pieces of crap’s home & rescue any animal and kick or slap them a few times.
Get this abuse off public media. What can any if us do?? I have asked before how can we find out the out come of any of these petitions we sign. Does anyone have an answer??
Special place in hell 🔥🔥🔥 for animal abusers, but something has to be done NOW!!!
WHY should we even need to explain to these platforms why this is wrong? It shines a bright light on the ignorance and immorality of the sites that allow this in their spaces. WE SEE YOU.
ALL MEDIA PLATFORMS INCLUDING TIK TOK NEED TO BAN VIDEOS WITH CRUEL ABUSIVE VIOLENCE AGAIN ALL ANIMALS IMMEDIATELY!!! BAN ALL VIDEOS SHOWING AN8MAL ABUSE AND CRUELTH TOWARDS ALL ANIMALL IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
Tik Tok has the reputation for having the greatest tolerance for videos with animal cruelty. It’s for this reason I have nothing to do with it.
Not only take them off but take the pets of these morons and give them to descent people who will show them respect
This cruelty needs to stop already! I hate these monsters who who abuse these sweet due babies! These cowards need to be slapped, kicked, and slammed into walls — ultimate justice. Please remove these horrible videos after rescuing these poor pets.
I agree!
This is a disgrace!! Anyone who abuses their pet should be locked up and banned from having pets ever! All social media should forbid this and investigate who it is coming from. Even though it is deleted , does not solve the problem. It will still continue to happen and these poor animals will be the ones to suffer the consequences. 😪 Rot in hell all you animal abusers!!!
I believe Tik Tok and other evil cruel trash platforms need to be taken down and their enablers fined and imprisoned for years.
Til Tok is owned by Chinese. China is notorious for cruelty and violence against all of God’s creatures. I’m not on it in my effort not to support it & the sick monsters that video cruelty and violence against innocent helpless creatures. These videos are on TT because sick monsters enjoy watching them.
Disgusting degeneracy.
Spot on Anita. Asians would torture ants and think if was funny. Cruel fucking dog eating assholes!
Hope someone drops a bomb on China, North Korea and Russia!
Ban this trash!
Shut Down All These Harmful & Cruel Videos. If Not, I Hope Enough People Will Get Tic Tok Completely Shut Down!
For Gods sake, shut these sorry demonic bastards down.
People.who torture, abuse and kill.animals are sick and dangerous. Videotaping the abuse is even more disturbing! TikTok PLEASE do not allow these videos to be posted. These people should be arrested!
Watching animals being abused is NOT entertainment and any entity that partakes in any part of it needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There should be federal oversight of internet websites to ban any website that shows or suggests abuse to animals. Animals, like children, need protection from the evil in this world for they are helpless and have no voice…
LET THESE EVIL SON OF A BITCHES, COWARDS GET CAUGHT AND ARRESTED. THE ACTS SHOWN ON THE VIDEOS ARE PURE 666 EVIL. THESE TRASHY PEOPLE NEED TO HAVR DONE TO THEM WHAT THEY DO TO THESE POOR ANIMALS.
