I don't have the stomach to watch the vid. The comments on this vid are multiplying by the second. I flagged it as well. Stuff like this really pisses me off
Someone posted what is supposedly the guy's name and address. I'm not gonna post it here, but browse the comments to see it (if it's right)

This guy is no doubt the most hated person on Youtube right now.

There's no way I will watch it - the comments are enough for me. DH works for Google, so he's on the case now, seeing if he can find a faster way to get it taken down.

I agree, I can't watch the video either. I don't have a UTube accout to flag it but I've read pages and pages of comments though. I saw where they repeatedly mention the guys name, partial address and work phone #.
How can some people be so cruel and heartless?! I can't understand why it's still on UTube, why haven't they taken it down? From what I read, it was posted 4 weeks ago.

It may have been posted 4 weeks ago, but I'm guessing someone only saw how disgusting it was recently, and has sent it to all their friends to flag, and people are only just flagging it. I am confident it will be down by the end of tomorrow at the absolute latest.

Think of youtube as a huge forum. There's people who do try to monitor content but largely it's up to users to help.


I flagged it. And I agree, this is why cats should be contained in someway. "No predators" where you live my butt (for those in the UK and other countries that always say this) - humans are one of the biggest dangers roaming pets can face.

I would think out of hundreds of flags it would be caught at least by now. Are there that many videos being flagged all the time that they can't keep up?

Keep in mind that posting records may be very important in locating and taking this guy to court for animal abuse.

I don't know, I don't work for google
Ask sarahp to ask her husband about that.

But you have to take into account, how many flags are false flags too? Simply because someone didn't like something ridiculous (and harmless) about the content of a video. I sure wouldn't want the job of monitoring youtube...

There's a ridiculous amount of videos up there, and new ones being put up constantly. There's people who take offense to so many things, and the people at YouTube have to look at all of them and decide if it should be taken down.

As for losing details if it gets deleted - they would still have records, so I'm sure there's no need to worry about not having evidence.

I doubt he's learned anything. He's probably more worried about what actions will be taken against him or if he'll bump into a mob of angry animal lovers one night on the way home...

Just listening to the video (and jumping to conclusions), my guess is the poster has a certain fear of a free bus ride south.

I don't have an account and could never watch the video, but I'm glad it has been removed and I hope that
will rot for this.

Thank you to all who are proactive in helping animal lovers across the country flag the video. Although the sicko has taken the video down, this is by no means he is free. His previous place of employment is now cooperating with the local sheriffs department in tracing him. We will get him and he will get the punishment he deserves.

I don't have a youtube account and I could never watch something like this. There are times I have to turn Animal Planet off for this same reason. I pray something can and will be done about this.
