Head of International Monkey Torture ring is caught in US

[uallas5]

Why oh why am I not surprised to see this picture when I clicked on the story link on the BBC:



A ringleader in a global monkey torture network exposed by the BBC has been charged by US federal prosecutors. Michael Macartney, 50, who went by the alias "Torture King", was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing videos.

Mr Macartney, a former motorcycle gang member who previously spent time in prison, ran several chat groups for monkey torture enthusiasts from around the world on the encrypted messaging app Telegram. The groups were used to share ideas for custom-made torture videos, such as setting live monkeys on fire, injuring them with tools and even putting one in a blender. The ideas were then sent, along with payments, to video-makers in Indonesia who carried them out, sometimes killing the baby long-tailed macaque monkeys in the process.


This fucker is only getting 5 years. He deserves to be stripped naked and nailed by his nuts to a pole in a nature preserve along with all the others involved.

I can only shake my head at their evil. MAGATS are just evil

WT actual F? What is wrong with these "people"? Anyone doing this type of crap shouldn't be permitted to be around humans.

 

[sdifox]

I didn't know there is a monkey torture ring, let alone an international one... fry the fuckers

 

[IronWing]

I thought this would be another Musk thread.

Anyway, I'm good with putting them down. Sadism is where my opposition to the death penalty falters.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Reading that made me want to throw up. WTF.

 

[Perknose]

I also thought you were referring to Musk, with a degree of hyperbole. I wish I had been correct. Knowing this makes me both deeply sad and violently angry. WT actual F indeed.

 

[WelshBloke]

This fucker is only getting 5 years.

If he gets out of prison in one piece he needs to be put on a list. If he starts with the sadistic stuff again he needs to be caught and caged quickly before it escalates.

 

[MrSquished]

Jesus christ these people are just sick sick fucks. Let's face it, there are sick fucks of every political persuasion but I gotta say, the US GOP has such a high ratio of utter shitty people.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Monkey Torture Enthusiasts?
Assuming this is not a left over April Fools story.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?​

 

[iRONic]

If you're primarily focusing on just the picture give your fucking head a shake !!!

Heinous and deprived shit is performed by the same type of people posting pictures with their Jesus crosses and their beautiful blonde children.

My wife recently showed me a video of an American getting arrested and charged because he intentionally caused three horse miscarriages. I was like WTF? Who would torture such nice animals?

Never knew that sorta behavior is a feature amongst the scum of the earth.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I really hope this fucker reaps what he has sown, and yes, I mean for him to be tortured as extremely as he tortured other living creatures.

 

[WelshBloke]

If you're primarily focusing on just the picture give your fucking head a shake !!!

The phrase is "give your head a wobble". I'm not sure why that irked me so much, I've dealt with arseholes at work too much this week and then this story... It's left me tetchy.

Heinous and deprived shit is performed by the same type of people posting pictures with their Jesus crosses and their beautiful blonde children.

I'm betting that the guy in the story has plenty of Jesus crosses and really, really likes young blond children!

He absolutely needs to be on a list after his release where someone keeps a close eye on him.

 

[brycejones]

And it’s not Musk. Still work to be done.

 

[dainthomas]

Well that's four words I wish I'd never seen together.

 

[cytg111]

What the fuck. What The Fuck. I was sure that headline was going to be a metaphor for something. Nope. Setting monkeys on actual fire.

 

[feralkid]

I bet you could teach monkeys to spell "LOSER".

What the fuck. What The Fuck. I was sure that headline was going to be a metaphor for something. Nope. Setting monkeys on actual fire.

A preview of what humans do to each other when institutions fail us.
For additional reference, Nazi treatment of prisoners.

BBC did a documentary almost a year ago. This guy is in it. I couldn't watch all of it. They don't show it, but just them talking about it was enough for me...

 

[BoomerD]

That fckr should be fed into a blender...or, at the minimum, a wood chipper.

 

[WilliamM2]

Jesus christ these people are just sick sick fucks. Let's face it, there are sick fucks of every political persuasion but I gotta say, the US GOP has such a high ratio of utter shitty people.

Oddly, this guy helped expose them. Most aren't even American's.

How Fargoesk.

 

[kage69]

A mentally ill, evil person is a fervent political supporter of a mentally ill, evil person. Go figure.

And may this sick bastard find animal lovers at every turn during his way too brief incarceration. Fuck that's disturbing.

 

[gothuevos]

Reading that made me want to throw up. WTF.

So disgusting.

Pretty weak punishment.
