Exclusive: Inside the shadowy global networks that torture cats for profit

During a months-long investigation, CNN infiltrates and exposes the shadowy global networks which promote an underground marketplace of cat torture videos, aimed at customers who get a kick out of seeing animals suffer. CNN’s Ivan Watson speaks to the online sleuths and activists fighting to dismantle these networks.

Note: The Chinese government and social media platform X did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. YouTube and Telegram told CNN that content promoting violence against animals is banned on their platforms; Meta declined to comment.
