Crush Movies: Shocking Acts of Animal Cruelty
Animal crush movies have made their appearance, showing defenseless animals being crushed and killed for viewers’ sick enjoyment.
Crush movies . . . just when you think you’ve seen it all, the human race sinks to deeper levels of depravity and cruelty.
Animal crush movies show small animals such as kittens, puppies and rabbits crushed when someone steps on them. Those perpetrating this outrage are apparently providing these movies to titillate an audience that needs psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
Why would anyone watch a gentle animal being killed in an incredibly painful fashion? What kind of person would derive enjoyment from witnessing a crush movie?
It comes down to dollars. Those who make animal crush movies hope to profit from people’s curiosity and from people who get off on watching suffering.
There’s another side to crush movies, one slick marketers utilize to make animal crush video’s saleable. In some crush movies a pornographic element is incorporated, showing sexual acts with the animals prior to their deaths via crushing. Marketers combine the two hoping to deaden compassion by first introducing a sexual element.
In 1999 the U.S. government banned animal crush movies but the law was later overturned under the auspices of free speech. What this means is that this filth is legal and sold to the masses. Free speech should not be used as a platform to publish material that is harmful to mental and moral health or that promotes cruelty to animals. Free speech should not be thinly disguised carte blanch, allowing unscrupulous individuals to profit from inhumane practices that cause needless suffering to animals.
What can be done to put an end to crush movies that undermine viewers’ innocence, movies that harden perception and feed appetites for senseless violence?
What Can You Do?
- A petition is now being circulated through Facebook. Interested parties can join the Facebook group, Ban These Cruel Animal “Crush” Movies NOW!
- Sign the petition to get this practice stopped, once and for all.
- If you come across any website promoting or selling these videos, post the links to anti-animal cruelty sites, so that these organizations can take appropriate action.
In a society that has become increasingly hardened, crush movies are alive and flourishing . . . taking a free ride on the suffering and death of defenseless and helpless animals.

How about some furor over all the “hunting” videos on YouTube that show animals being hit by bullets and dying painful deaths from inaccurate shots? In essence, they are free snuff videos.
They serve no educational purpose and technically violate YouTube’s own guidelines, but are allowed for unexplained reasons.

Hi Jim,
That terrible and thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will see what I can do. They probably offer there videos to the same type of audience, those sickos who get off on watching animal suffering. It’s too bad that YouTube allows for this. I get so incensed when “freedom of expression” is used as window dressing so that unscrupulous individuals can spread their filth.

Why is it okay to set mousetraps, but not okay to step on them?
What’s your take on hunters and hunting, Ms. Athlyn Green?
I’m one of the most sensitive and caring persons one could ever know. I’ve owned pets all through my life. I also have been into womens feet since I can remember…and the “Crush” fetish is part of it. If you don’t like what you see, don’t watch it. Where the fuck do get off calling me unscrupulous. Your lame-ass two-dimensional article shows how pathetically shallow some people really are anymore….

Hi Ontrmike,
You raise good points. What is the difference between using a mouse trap and crushing a mouse? In the first scenario, someone\’s house may be overrun with mice and they are addressing this problem. Many people are turning to humane traps to eliminate mice. This is somewhat different from crushing them for sexual titalation or for sport.
You mentioned you were a pet lover. Would you crush your own pets because someone got off on seeing their deaths? Would you let them be hunted for sport?
In the end, people have to decide for themselves what is appropriate when it comes to taking an animal\’s life. In some cases, people feel the taking of life is justified; in other scenarios, it is viewed as a tragedy when an animal dies a painful death in a situation that is viewed as entirely unnecessary.
My take on hunting? I have a friend who hunts because she needs to fill her freezer over the winter months. Others hunt but waste the carcass. Again, people have to decide what would constitute a necessary loss of life and wanton taking of life. At the end of the day, we all have to look at ourselves in the mirror.
