Target: Yasonna Laoly, Indonesian Minister of Law and Human Rights
Goal: Enforce harsher penalties for animal torture to deter further cruelty.
Indonesia’s alarming status as a global leader in the production of animal torture videos calls for immediate action. Alleged incidents where animals are tortured to produce entertainment content have become distressingly common. This cruel practice not only shocks the conscience but also undermines societal values, depicting a grievous abuse of animal rights.
In recent developments, law enforcement in West Kalimantan apprehended an individual reportedly involved in creating such videos, particularly distressing footage involving the torture of a long-tailed monkey. This suspect was allegedly compensated up to Rp1 million per video. The cruelty extends beyond monkeys; dogs, cats, chickens, and even bears have been purportedly tortured for the same vile purpose. These videos reportedly fetch prices ranging from Rp80,000 to Rp1.6 million on various online platforms, including YouTube and Telegram.
The existing legal framework in Indonesia, including Law No. 41/2014, allegedly offers only mild penalties for such heinous acts—up to six years in jail or a nominal fine—which evidently fails to deter perpetrators. This leniency in punishment has purportedly led to an escalation in the production and distribution of these horrific videos. Demand a more stringent legal response to prevent further animal cruelty and to reflect the gravity of these offenses.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Minister Yasonna Laoly,
We write to you with a deep sense of urgency and concern regarding the purported widespread production of animal torture videos in Indonesia. These reports highlight a disturbing trend that not only involves severe animal cruelty but also potentially contributes to desensitization towards violence in society. It is disheartening to note that Indonesia is reportedly leading the production of such content globally.
Alleged details of these activities reveal a horrifying disregard for animal life, where individuals, driven by economic incentives, engage in the torture of defenseless animals, capturing these acts on video for commercial gain. This not only reflects a serious societal issue but also exposes the shortcomings of our current legal framework in providing adequate protection for animals.
We urgently demand the implementation of harsher legal penalties for those found guilty of animal torture. It is imperative that our legal system reflects the severity of these crimes and acts as a strong deterrent against future offenses. Strengthening our laws will not only protect animals but also affirm our moral and ethical responsibilities as a society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Is this what you want to be known for? The torture of small, defenseless animals? If this is the best the world can expect of you and your citizens? If so then you possibly need to live alone without the friendship of any country. This world doesn’t need you, much less your attitude of returning to crucify animals. You do not punish the offenders? To allow creeps to rape, burn, slice, behead, and God knows what else to animals who are innocent, have done nothing wrong, yet will not live to ever understand the ignorance and savagness your citizens exhibit. You live in filth, doing and accepting filthy actions. Although animals do forgive, you are demons who aren’t worth the grace and love of animals. Stop the video torture and death by those who represent your country so tragically.
Hey indonesia, how about this: as you have people who like watching things die in agony, why not have public execution of all your scum, including these articles? You could use all manner of methods of dispatch to satisfy the blood lust, and clean up society at the same time, and any pervs with this crap in their heads will learn hard to keep it in there unless they want a starring role. Everybodys happy!!
What else can you expect from these filthy, stinking, Asian countries…there is a mindset in these countries that allow the horrific abuse, torture and killing of any creature that walk, fly, crawl or swim. The masses actually ENJOY inflicting horrendous cruelty and brutality towards these innocent animals, they commit these atrocities to satisfy their perverted, psychotic taste for animal killing and bloodshed.
These demonic monsters should be sentenced to suffer the identical torture that they put their victims through. Give them first hand understanding of what their victims had to suffer through and perhaps they will realize how sick and disgusting they are and it should be publicized so others will fear to perform the same heinous acts of brutal violence because they will receive the same! JUSTICE!! I PRAY GOD SUPERNATURALLY CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN. VENGEANCE IS HIS! GIVE THEM THE MERCY THEY GAVE….NONE!
This is so cruel and criminal. Exploiting and torturing innocent animals for own profits and gains via such heinous means! Harshest punishments please, this sick psycho obviousy has zero respect for animals and the law too! Dont let him get away!
