True - although whether they will act on it is another story. Maybe contact USA today or something?

Great idea Mark, and I've just had a petition concerning the puppy incident, and I've posted it in the appropiate section.

rather more effective than reporting to Youtube would be reporting to the relevant military authority and the american animal welfare organisations. They are in a position to stop this sort of behaviour. Youtube is ony in a position to prevent the evidence from being shown internationally.

And they are probably hailed as heroes when they go home

My son has been talking about clips he's seen on another site of the marines etc killing dogs in Iraq, the sick little Anyway, I just made the mistake of going on there, and one of the first ones I came across was a US soldier throwing a puppy off a cliff Are these people really that sick that they get their kicks out of torturing innocent animals I really wished I hadn't looked now to see what he was talking about

It's bad enough that sick

do this kind of thing but for incidents like these to be filmed and put online for others to watch is just beyond.

I used to have this idea that Americans were generally decent but my views have shifted a long way recently

Yes I've seen it now thanks - the problem is I can't find the video now. In trying to search, I hav seen some really horrible stuff so will give up now

I was wondering where youtube is based because if it is American, they would probably count bare breasts as offensive but not mutilation

I know what you mean about some of the content on YouTube. Animal abuse is vile and disgusting and videos showing this shouldn't be allowed on any website.

YouTube is based in America and their guidelines on animal abuse videos are rather vague.

Or perhaps someone already reported it and taken off??? If it was an recent addition that's possible. Did you see the date?

See the pink arrow

MrsR is right, the 'Flag' icon just underneath the video screen on the right-hand side is for 'inappropriate' content but you need to be logged in to see and use it. YouTube will only consider taking down videos if they are flagged so it's worth doing.

Awwwwww thats a cute kitty

Mark · « **Reply #5 on:** March 10, 2008, 15:07:44 PM »

I can't find it now as I wasn't searching for dead cats before. I will have to see if I can find it but won't post it as it's horrible.

However, when I tried to find it again, I did find this "dead cat" video that is cute (It's not really dead btw

)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpRqb-itrU8&feature=related

I will try to find the other one later but I realised it's 3pm and I haven't done a thing - I need to get working

MrsR · « **Reply #4 on:** March 10, 2008, 15:02:18 PM »

Can you post a link to it hun so I can see and we can all report it then

Mark · « **Reply #3 on:** March 10, 2008, 15:01:04 PM »

I couldn't see anything like that

- maybe they changed it?

MrsR · « **Reply #2 on:** March 10, 2008, 14:54:24 PM »

There is a flag button under the video on the right hand side - maybe thats it

Mark · « **Reply #1 on:** March 10, 2008, 14:44:31 PM »

I'm sure there used to be a button to report as offensive but couldn't see anything. There is a video some American teenagers made of a cat that is already dead in the road. One of the girls is saying "kick it, kick it" - the girl kicked it and was complaining she had blood on her shoe

Thankfully, all of the comments are against the girls but surely there should be a way of reporting offensive videos and getting them removed?

btw - I happened on this one while I was trying to see if there were any more in the "wake up" series.
