About Cat Torture Networks

Source: Feline Guardians US

Thousands of defenseless cats & kittens are suffering in the absence of animal cruelty laws in China, where videos of brutal cat torture make their rounds online. This content is spreading rapidly, with thousands of people from outside of China participating in creating & distributing this violent content.

The following facts concern the rise of organized online animal torture communities targeting cats & kittens, with confirmed participation from individuals residing in many countries all over the world. Torture groups operate internationally, using encrypted chat rooms, mainstream social media platforms & dedicated websites to coordinate extreme acts of cruelty. The issue has significant safeguarding implications. There is a well-established link between animal cruelty & violence toward people, particularly within domestic abuse and other high-risk contexts.

Organized online torture activity first emerged ca. 2015, initially traced to groups in China. In 2022, a central torture group was established by a Chinese man living in Japan. This entity operates via a dedicated website & major platforms such as X, Facebook, Instagram, QQ, TikTok. To gain access to the groups core chat rooms, applicants must submit a video of themselves torturing & killing a cat. This serves as an initiation ritual & proof of commitment to the community.

  • Membership can reach 1’000 active participants at any time. Members share torture methods, coordinate acts of cruelty & circulate video recordings.
  • Documented acts include burning, boiling, amputation & prolonged mutilation.
  • Between May 2023 & May 2024, a new torture video was published every 14 hours 34 minutes on average.
  • By February 2025, upload frequency had increased by 510%, with a new video every 2 hours 38 minutes.
  • Videos are first shared in closed groups, then re-posted to major platforms, often evading detection and moderation.
  • Findings have been independently corroborated by investigative journalism, notably CNN, news.com.au & the BBC.

3‘500+ Cats tortured since 2023

90% Chinese made

The vast majority of content originates from China due to a complete lack of comprehensive animal cruelty laws to deter abuse.

2 hours 38 minutes

By February 2025, a video showcasing the torture & execution of a cat is uploaded every 2 hours 38 minutes to online Chinese torture communities.

24+ Groups documented

2‘000+ Memberships

Between May of 2023 & May of 2024, more than 2’000 members were discovered in the largest of three known groups. Many other smaller groups existed.

130+ Social media accounts

Between April & May 2025, over 130 X accounts shared posts promoting animal abuse. One Mandarin-language post refering to “cat abuse” was viewed over 570 times during the same period.

Cat torture viewers and participants have been found on every continent & linked to other serious crimes. Just a few examples:

UK & Europe

Participants in the torture networks have been identified in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain & other countries. In 2025, two teenagers were arrested for torturing kittens in London.

USA & North America

In the US & Canada, researchers have discovered links between Neo-Nazi adjacent groups like 764, Order of the 9 Angles & cat torture. In other US & English-speaking groups, members encourage minors to hurt themselves and share “hurtcore” content.

Turkey

Domestic terrorist group C31K in Turkey shows a link between incel ideology, child abuse content & cat abuse. These links are not unique to Turkish cat torture groups & are seen all over the world.

China & Asia

Beyond direct monetary profit, there are links with zoosadism (sexual gratification from animal suffering) & extreme misogyny.

Members often explicitly target cats because they associate cat ownership & affection with women.

The Cow Cat case. In March 2023, an abuser in China captured a stray black & white cat and subjected it to a highly publicized 3-day torture. The abuser mockingly posted messages boasting that throughout the 3 days of severe abuse, the cat “never made a single sound” & only gasped for breath. The perpetrator was exposed, but due to the absence of anti-animal cruelty laws, he couldn’t be jailed. A group of his online “followers” established even more aggressive, deeply encrypted channels on Telegram to continue the practice.

That’s how The Cow Cat became the symbol of outcry for anti-animal cruelty laws.

Why is cat torture allowed to thrive?

1. Absence of anti-animal cruelty laws

2. Impunity and mild penalties

3. Strict political but weak moral censorship

The exact number of victims will never be known. It’s not just stray, stolen & adopted cats who are tortured on- & offline. The perpetrators are actively breeding cats to use in their torture videos.

Thousands of cats will forever remain nameless, tortured out of their lives on video for money or entertainment.

Here are some victims who were identified:

Cow Cat was starved, declawed, derpived of sleep and punctured with a hot iron. S/he was bound to a tree and subjected to further beatings. Cow Cat was then placed in a plastic bag and burned alive. The torture was prolonged over 36 hours.

Fireball was starved and eletrocuted. Her entire body was skinned including her face. Then whilst slowly dying, she was subjected to further electrocution. After her heart stopped beating, she was shocked back to life to endure more torture.

Little Calf was cut across his belly and mouth. He was stabbed in both eyes. And his internal organs were deliberately exposed before he passed away.

Theodore was subjected to electrocution. He had all his limbs cut off with a knife. He was then beheaded.

Monica was stolen from an airport whilst her owner was in transit. She had over 40 pins stuck into her body. She was electrocuted with a cattle prod and her stomach was skinned. One of her legs was smashed before being removed completely.

Subject: 关于加强动物保护立法并重视儿童生命教育的建议

Text: 您好!

我谨此提交一项建议,希望四川省在制定《四川省伴侣动物和流浪动物保护条例》时,进一步加强对动物保护和防止虐待动物的法律保障。

近年来,社会各界越来越关注动物福利问题。虐待动物、遗弃动物、非法捕捉和贩卖动物等行为不仅伤害生命,也反映出社会文明建设方面仍有改进空间。因此,我真诚支持建立更加完善的动物保护法律体系,为伴侣动物和流浪动物提供更有效的保护。

同时,我特别希望条例能够高度重视针对儿童的动物保护教育。

儿童是社会的未来。培养孩子尊重生命、关爱动物、理解责任的重要性,不仅能够减少未来虐待动物事件的发生,也有助于培养同情心、责任感和社会道德意识。许多研究和实践经验表明,从小学习善待动物的孩子,更容易成长为尊重他人、关心社会的公民。

因此,我建议:

  1. 将动物保护教育纳入学校和社区的宣传教育活动;
  2. 鼓励学校开展尊重生命和关爱动物的主题课程;
  3. 为儿童提供学习正确照顾宠物和帮助流浪动物的机会;
  4. 普及反对虐待动物的知识,提高未成年人对动物福利的认识;
  5. 通过公益活动培养儿童的同理心和社会责任感。

动物保护不仅是保护动物本身,也是建设更加文明、更加友善社会的重要组成部分。希望四川省能够推动相关立法工作,为动物和人类共同创造更加和谐的未来。

感谢您阅读我的建议,并期待四川省在动物保护领域取得积极进展。

此致

敬礼!

Subject: Urgent Need for protections against cruelty for community and street animals in India

Text: To the Animal Welfare Board of India and Relevant Government Authorities,

I am writing to express serious concern regarding the protection of street and community animals in India and to urge meaningful reform of the laws, policies and systems intended to protect them.

The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (PCA Act) was enacted more than six decades ago. Despite the enormous social and economic changes that have occurred since then, its core cruelty provisions and penalties remain outdated and inadequate. Penalties for cruelty are extremely low and do not reflect the seriousness of deliberate acts of violence against animals or provide a meaningful deterrent.

India’s Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 provide a framework for managing street and community dogs through sterilisation, vaccination and return to their locality. However, a Supreme Court decision in 2025 specified that dogs removed from designated sensitive locations, including schools, sports complexes and transport premises, were not to be returned to those locations.

This creates an important question: where do these dogs go if they cannot be returned?

Shelter infrastructure, resources and capacity vary greatly across India. Without a transparent and nationally consistent system for recording where these animals are taken and what subsequently happens to them, there is a serious risk that dogs simply disappear from their communities without adequate traceability or accountability.

Combined with an outdated PCA Act and inadequate penalties, these gaps create conditions in which cruelty towards India’s street cats, dogs and community animals can occur without sufficient deterrence or accountability.

Recent reported incidents are deeply concerning:

  • In late August 2026, Teddy, a friendly and cared-for community dog in Jhandi Chour East, Kotdwara, Uttarakhand reportedly disappeared for approximately two days before being found beaten, stabbed and strangled to death.
  • On 6 September 2026, another community dog in Vaniya Wada, Vankbara, Diu was reportedly found beaten and strangled to death.
  • In the same area, reports have alleged that approximately 10–15 puppies and dogs were drowned near Vankbara Jetty.
  • In Chembur, approximately 20 cats and kittens were reportedly found mutilated and killed.
  • In Bengaluru, police and local authorities reportedly raided Primecare Vet Hospital in September 2026 following serious allegations that street dogs had been intentionally injured and subjected to unauthorised bone surgeries for practice, with animals allegedly discarded afterwards.

These allegations deserve proper investigation. More importantly, taken alongside the many other cases of violence against community animals reported across India, they should serve as a warning to policymakers that stronger safeguards are urgently needed.

Cruelty and abuse towards animals should never become normalised within any society. Street and community animals are particularly vulnerable because they depend upon laws, authorities and members of the public for their protection.

I respectfully urge the Government of India and the Animal Welfare Board of India to:

  1. Overhaul and strengthen the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, including meaningful penalties for deliberate and serious animal cruelty that reflect the gravity of these offences and provide a genuine deterrent.
  2. Ensure allegations of serious animal cruelty are properly investigated, documented and recorded, with appropriate accountability where offences are established.
  3. Establish a consistent national approach to implementation of the Animal Birth Control Rules, including clear traceability and welfare requirements for every dog removed from its locality and not subsequently returned. There should be a documented chain of responsibility showing where these animals are taken and what ultimately happens to them.
  4. Invest in adequate shelter, veterinary and animal birth-control infrastructure, so that policies concerning street dogs do not result in animals being displaced into overcrowded or unsuitable facilities.
  5. Expand community education and training aimed at reducing human–dog conflict, including responsible waste management, dog behaviour education, bite prevention, vaccination awareness and humane coexistence strategies.

India has an enormous population of community animals and many citizens and organisations working tirelessly to protect them. They need a legal and administrative framework that supports their efforts.

I respectfully ask the Animal Welfare Board of India and relevant government authorities to consider these concerns and take action to strengthen the protection, traceability and welfare of India’s street and community animals.

Yours faithfully,

Animal Protection Advocate

विषय: भारत में आवारा और सामुदायिक पशुओं की सुरक्षा को सुदृढ़ करने की तत्काल आवश्यकता

मैं भारत में आवारा और सामुदायिक पशुओं की सुरक्षा के संबंध में अपनी गंभीर चिंता व्यक्त करने तथा उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए बनाए गए कानूनों, नीतियों और व्यवस्थाओं में सार्थक सुधार का आग्रह करने के लिए यह पत्र लिख रही हूँ।

पशु क्रूरता निवारण अधिनियम, 1960 (Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 – PCA Act) छह दशक से भी अधिक समय पहले लागू किया गया था। तब से व्यापक सामाजिक और आर्थिक परिवर्तन होने के बावजूद, पशु क्रूरता से संबंधित इसके प्रमुख प्रावधान और दंड आज भी पुराने और अपर्याप्त हैं। पशु क्रूरता के लिए निर्धारित दंड अत्यंत कम हैं और न तो जानबूझकर पशुओं के विरुद्ध की गई हिंसा की गंभीरता को दर्शाते हैं और न ही प्रभावी निवारक के रूप में कार्य करते हैं।

भारत के पशु जन्म नियंत्रण नियम, 2023 (Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023) आवारा और सामुदायिक कुत्तों के प्रबंधन के लिए नसबंदी, टीकाकरण और उन्हें उनके मूल क्षेत्र में वापस छोड़ने की व्यवस्था प्रदान करते हैं। हालांकि, 2025 में सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के एक निर्णय में यह निर्दिष्ट किया गया कि स्कूलों, खेल परिसरों और परिवहन परिसरों सहित निर्धारित संवेदनशील स्थानों से हटाए गए कुत्तों को उन स्थानों पर वापस नहीं छोड़ा जाए।

इससे एक महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न उत्पन्न होता है: यदि इन कुत्तों को वापस नहीं छोड़ा जा सकता, तो उन्हें कहाँ ले जाया जाता है?

भारत के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में पशु आश्रय गृहों की उपलब्धता, संसाधन और क्षमता में काफी अंतर है। इन पशुओं को कहाँ ले जाया जाता है और बाद में उनके साथ क्या होता है, इसका रिकॉर्ड रखने वाली पारदर्शी और राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर एकसमान व्यवस्था के अभाव में यह गंभीर जोखिम है कि कुत्ते बिना पर्याप्त पता लगाने योग्य रिकॉर्ड या जवाबदेही के अपने समुदायों से गायब हो जाएँ।

पुराने PCA Act और अपर्याप्त दंड के साथ मिलकर, व्यवस्था की ये कमियाँ ऐसी परिस्थितियाँ पैदा करती हैं जिनमें भारत के आवारा बिल्लियों, कुत्तों और सामुदायिक पशुओं के विरुद्ध क्रूरता पर्याप्त निवारण या जवाबदेही के बिना हो सकती है।

हाल में सामने आई निम्नलिखित घटनाएँ अत्यंत चिंताजनक हैं:

  • अगस्त 2026 के अंत में, कोटद्वार में टेडी (Teddy) नाम का एक मित्रवत और स्थानीय लोगों द्वारा देखभाल किया जाने वाला सामुदायिक कुत्ता लगभग दो दिनों के लिए लापता हो गया। बाद में वह मृत पाया गया और रिपोर्टों के अनुसार उसे पीटा गया था, चाकू मारा गया था और गला घोंटकर मार दिया गया था।
  • 6 सितंबर 2026 को वांकबारा (Vankbara) में एक अन्य सामुदायिक कुत्ता कथित तौर पर पीटा हुआ और गला घोंटकर मारा हुआ पाया गया।
  • उसी क्षेत्र में ऐसी रिपोर्टें भी सामने आईं कि लगभग 10–15 पिल्लों और कुत्तों को वांकबारा जेट्टी (Vankbara Jetty) के पास डुबोकर मार दिया गया।
  • चेंबूर (Chembur) में लगभग 20 बिल्लियाँ और बिल्ली के बच्चे कथित तौर पर क्षत-विक्षत और मृत पाए गए।
  • बेंगलुरु (Bengaluru) में सितंबर 2026 में पुलिस और स्थानीय अधिकारियों ने Primecare Vet Hospital पर गंभीर आरोपों के बाद कथित तौर पर छापा मारा। आरोप थे कि आवारा कुत्तों को जानबूझकर घायल किया गया और उन पर अभ्यास के लिए बिना अनुमति हड्डियों की सर्जरी की गई, तथा बाद में कई पशुओं को कथित तौर पर कचरे की तरह फेंक दिया गया।

इन आरोपों की उचित जाँच की जानी चाहिए। इससे भी महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि सामुदायिक पशुओं के विरुद्ध भारत भर में सामने आने वाली हिंसा की अनेक अन्य घटनाओं के साथ इन्हें देखा जाए तो ये नीति निर्माताओं के लिए एक चेतावनी होनी चाहिए कि अधिक मजबूत सुरक्षा उपायों की तत्काल आवश्यकता है।

किसी भी समाज में पशुओं के प्रति क्रूरता और दुर्व्यवहार को कभी भी सामान्य नहीं माना जाना चाहिए। आवारा और सामुदायिक पशु विशेष रूप से असुरक्षित हैं, क्योंकि उनकी सुरक्षा कानूनों, सरकारी अधिकारियों और आम नागरिकों पर निर्भर करती है।

मैं भारत सरकार और भारतीय जीव-जंतु कल्याण बोर्ड से सम्मानपूर्वक निम्नलिखित कदम उठाने का आग्रह करती हूँ:

  1. पशु क्रूरता निवारण अधिनियम, 1960 की व्यापक समीक्षा कर इसे सुदृढ़ किया जाए, तथा जानबूझकर की गई और गंभीर पशु क्रूरता के लिए ऐसे सार्थक और कठोर दंड निर्धारित किए जाएँ जो इन अपराधों की गंभीरता को दर्शाएँ और वास्तविक निवारक का कार्य करें।
  2. गंभीर पशु क्रूरता के आरोपों की उचित जाँच, दस्तावेजीकरण और आधिकारिक रिकॉर्ड सुनिश्चित किया जाए, तथा अपराध सिद्ध होने पर उचित जवाबदेही सुनिश्चित की जाए।
  3. पशु जन्म नियंत्रण नियमों के क्रियान्वयन के लिए एक सुसंगत राष्ट्रीय व्यवस्था स्थापित की जाए, जिसमें अपने मूल क्षेत्र से हटाए गए और वापस नहीं छोड़े गए प्रत्येक कुत्ते के लिए स्पष्ट ट्रेसबिलिटी और कल्याण संबंधी आवश्यकताएँ शामिल हों। यह दर्ज करने वाली एक स्पष्ट जवाबदेही श्रृंखला होनी चाहिए कि इन पशुओं को कहाँ ले जाया गया और अंततः उनके साथ क्या हुआ।
  4. पर्याप्त पशु आश्रय, पशु चिकित्सा और पशु जन्म नियंत्रण संबंधी बुनियादी ढाँचे में निवेश किया जाए, ताकि आवारा कुत्तों से संबंधित नीतियों के कारण पशुओं को भीड़भाड़ वाले या अनुपयुक्त स्थानों में न भेजा जाए।
  5. मनुष्य और कुत्तों के बीच संघर्ष को कम करने के उद्देश्य से सामुदायिक शिक्षा और प्रशिक्षण का विस्तार किया जाए, जिसमें जिम्मेदार अपशिष्ट प्रबंधन, कुत्तों के व्यवहार के बारे में शिक्षा, कुत्ते के काटने की घटनाओं की रोकथाम, टीकाकरण के प्रति जागरूकता और मानवीय सह-अस्तित्व की रणनीतियाँ शामिल हों।

भारत में सामुदायिक पशुओं की संख्या बहुत बड़ी है और अनेक नागरिक तथा संगठन उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए अथक प्रयास कर रहे हैं। उन्हें ऐसी कानूनी और प्रशासनिक व्यवस्था की आवश्यकता है जो उनके प्रयासों को समर्थन प्रदान करे।

मैं भारतीय जीव-जंतु कल्याण बोर्ड और संबंधित सरकारी प्राधिकरणों से सम्मानपूर्वक अनुरोध करती हूँ कि वे इन चिंताओं पर विचार करें और भारत के आवारा तथा सामुदायिक पशुओं की सुरक्षा, ट्रेसबिलिटी और कल्याण को सुदृढ़ करने के लिए कार्रवाई करें।

सादर,

Animal Protection Advocate

Subject: Report corruption in Uganda

Text: Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to report a pattern of systemic corruption, extortion, and abuse of authority in Uganda involving the treatment of abused animals and the civilians who attempt to intervene.

This is not an isolated incident, nor a matter of animal welfare alone. It reflects a broader governance failure that includes:

– Police officers demanding payment before allowing rescuers to take abused animals into care
– Authorities refusing to act on clear evidence of criminal activity
– Selective enforcement depending on personal interests
– Intimidation of civilians who report abuse
– Repeated negligence despite documented cases

Rescuers are being financially extorted simply for attempting to remove animals from abusive situations. This constitutes misuse of authority, corruption, and obstruction of justice.

Uganda’s existing laws are not being enforced. Instead, officials are using their positions to block interventions unless payments are made. This situation reflects wider issues of:

– Corruption within law enforcement
– Failure to uphold legal obligations
– Abuse of vulnerable individuals
– Lack of accountability
– Governance breakdown

The organization WeWontBeScammed (wewontbescammed@outlook.com), which operates on the ground in Uganda, can provide documentation, evidence, and detailed case information upon request.

I respectfully request that your institution:

1. Acknowledge receipt of this report
2. Review the governance implications of these practices
3. Initiate an inquiry into the misuse of authority and extortion
4. Assess whether Uganda is meeting governance and accountability standards required for international cooperation and funding

Sincerly,
(your name)

How to correctly report animal cruelty content

Make sure you report the correct account, not the activist’s

What NOT to Do:

  • Do not engage: Never like, share, comment on, or watch the videos fully. Engagement feeds the algorithm and gives abusers more money and reach.
  • Do not share the link publicly: Avoid posting links or tags that send traffic to the abuser’s profile.

———

How to Report the Account and Posts:

Report to the platform — every platform has this automatic option:

  1. Do not write long text messages: Platforms use specific reporting dropdown menus rather than open support emails for swift removal.
  2. Instagram: Go to the profile or post, tap the three dots (...), select Report, choose Something about this account or Violent or dangerous organizations, and pick Animal abuse.
  3. TikTok: Press and hold the video or go to the profile, tap Report, and choose the category matching Animal cruelty.
  4. Facebook: Click the three dots (...) in the upper right of the post or profile, click Report post/profile, select Violence, and choose Animal Abuse.

———

If you don’t have an account on that platform, report to SMACC: here

Subject: Concerns Regarding SUST Partnership and Student Conduct

Text: Dear _________ University,

I am writing to express serious concern regarding institutional ethics, animal welfare, student conduct, and campus safety, in connection with your partner institution, Suzhou University of Science and Technology (SUST).

According to accounts from adoption providers, online reports, and footage recorded at the scene, SUST student He Tianci was allegedly involved in a series of fraudulent cat adoptions followed by severe animal abuse and killing.

He Tianci allegedly posed as a civil servant to gain their trust and repeatedly obtained cats through the Xianyuplatform. At least five cats from different owners are known to have been adopted by him. After taking the cats, he used photographs of similar-looking cats to convince the original adoption providers that their cats were still alive and safe.

On August 23, 2026, adoption providers and police went to his residence. Three odorous cat bodies were discovered inside the residence, while one kitten was found alive and rescued. He Tianci admitted to killing the cats shortly after adopting them and leaving their bodies in the residence for several days. His parents and university staff went to the police station to defend him.

The fourth and fifth adoption providers successively reported the cases to the police. There are five reported victim cats so far:

Case 1 — Victim: Longhair Ginger

Adopted: Aug 14 | Body Found: Aug 23

Case 2 — Victim: Blue

Adopted: Aug 14 | Body Found: Aug 23

Case 3 — Victim: Weixi

Adopted: Date Unknown | Body Found: Aug 23

Case 4 — Victim: Sunny

Adopted: Aug 22 | Status: Uncounted for

Case 5 — Victim: Caicai

Adopted: Jul 30 | Status: Uncounted for

 To date, it is alleged that He Tianci was only placed on disciplinary probation. However, SUST has not publicly disclosed the details. This raises concerns about institutional ethics, accountability, and transparency,particularly for universities with academic partnerships with SUST.

As a university committed to education and social responsibility, I trust that your institution values not only academic achievement but also moral integrity.

In light of this case, I respectfully urge your university to:

1. Raise these concerns with SUST and request transparency.
Encourage SUST to take this case seriously and clarify its disciplinary response.

2. Consider social responsibility in partnership evaluations.
Institutional accountability and humane education should be considered when reviewing or renewing academic partnerships.

3. Strengthen safeguards for international programs.
Students involved in serious animal abuse cases should be barred from exchange and other international academic programs to protect campus safety and community well-being.

4. Strengthen animal protection education.
Universities should promote animal welfare, respect for life, and responsible treatment of animals.

I respectfully ask your university to take these concerns seriously and to consider whether further communication with SUST, a review of the relevant partnership, or additional safeguards for exchange and transfer programs may be appropriate.

Subject: URGENT request to investigate brutal torture of dogs

Text: Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to urgently report the alleged killing of a community dog in Vaniya Wada, Vankbara, Diu, on 6 September 2026. The dog was reportedly beaten and strangled to death and suffered severe injuries.

There are also disturbing reports of approximately 10-15 dogs and puppies allegedly being taken by boat from Vankbara Jetty and thrown into the sea, along with reports of other repeated cruelty in Diu, Ghoghla, Vankbara and Wadi.

I respectfully request that the authorities:

• Immediately register an FIR and investigate these incidents.

• Identify and take legal action against those responsible.

• Investigate the reported pattern of animal cruelty in the area.

• Ensure proper implementation of ABC and Anti-Rabies programmes.

• Establish humane and lawful procedures for handling aggressive or suspected rabid animals.

• Protect local animal volunteers and witnesses from intimidation or retaliation.

Animal cruelty must not be treated as a “human-animal conflict.” We urge you to take immediate action and ensure accountability.

Please acknowledge this complaint and inform us of the action taken.

Sincerely,

[Name]

表扬信

——致敬球员阮奇龙心怀大义,勇担社会责任的可贵品格

尊敬的重庆铜梁龙足球俱乐部领导:

您好!

感。 谨以此信,郑重表扬贵俱乐部球员阮奇龙的善良品格、公益担当与社会责任

在近期中超联赛赛场,阮奇龙在进球高光时刻,放弃个人荣耀、直面全国直播镜头,高举印有“停止虐待动物”字样的护腿板,以职业运动员的公众影响力,为弱小无声的生命发声,主动传播敬畏生命、拒绝伤害的正向公益理念。

该举动真诚纯粹、立意正向、跳出竞技胜负本身,向全社会、尤其是广大青少年传递善良、共情与正义的价值观,是职业球员践行社会责任、参与社会公益传播的典范行为,充分展现了新时代足球运动员的良好精神风貌。

尤为可贵的是:阮奇龙此次善意的公益发声,遭到部分动物虐待人员、极端狗黑群体的恶意记恨与针对性抹黑,相关人员罔顾正向公益初衷,刻意歪曲事实、散布负面言论,甚至对球员进行无端恶意举报、网暴诋毁,试图打压善意发声、遏制公益传播。

面对恶意攻击与不实举报,阮奇龙始终立场坚定、初心不改,未因外界抹黑与施压而动摇敬畏生命、坚守正义的公益本心。在网络戾气、恶意对立泛滥的当下,他敢于发声、勇于担当、不惧打压的品格,尤为难得、极具正能量。

体育的内核不止竞技拼搏,更在于传递善良正义、引领社会风气。阮奇龙以自身行动践行公益、以初心对抗戾气,为足坛树立了优良榜样,对净化网络风气、推动全社会善待生命的公益事业具有积极且深远的正向意义。

在此,我们真诚肯定并高度赞扬阮奇龙同志的公益贡献与人格担当,也恳请俱乐部正视本次恶意抹黑、不实举报事件,肯定球员的正向行为,为正能量球员撑腰护航,不让善意发声者受委屈、不让公益担当被恶意诋毁。

盼足坛涌现更多心怀大爱、坚守正义的优秀运动员,持续传递体育正能量!

此致敬礼!

一位正义公民
