TikTok's link to animal cruelty

[Catherine]

Quote:I have never looked at TikTok. I avoid all those moronic video sites where bored or fame-seeking people post films. In some cases, where an animal is filmed naturally doing something clever or funny, it can be justified, but when animals are used as tools for entertainment (such as tying their ears together), then it crosses the line for me.

I don't go near them either. People are doing all kinds of crazy things to get attention on TikTok and sites like it. Sadly when it involves their animals it ends up being exploitive and often cruel.

I guess normal pet behavior just doesn't get enough followers or likes or however they measure their "fame".
