YouTube has updated their policy to prohibit the public display of animal cruelty and deliberate live feeding for engagement. The platform will now implement automated removal for content that violates these new conduct standards. We are monitoring the enforcement process to ensure these removals remain consistent with our request.
we the undersigned think that some action is needed regarding the current policies on you-tube. we belive that the cruel, needless videos should be removed.
there is a differnce between showing an animal eat for educational purposes, and live feeding for sick entertainment.
on all of the uploaded videos, there are numerous comments regarding the wellfare of the animals in question, and the practise.
some videos contain snakes fed live chicks, in a way such as they are swalowed alive. others show blatent cruelty toward a prey item, before it is offered to the preditor.
i myself keep snakes, and all of mine eat frozen thawed rodents, should i need to feed live, i would, but in private for the snakes benifit not for public entertainment.
we do not ask that all videos be removed, just the few that contain cruelty or the highest leves, and in which needless suffering is caused.
I am currently compiling a dossier of reported content to present directly to the platform's policy enforcement team. My focus is on distinguishing between standard husbandry practices and content designed for shock value. Expect a summary of their official response policy once I receive a reply to my formal inquiry.
