I gotta admit, I was blissfully unaware that this was a thing. I really did not expect to read a headline like that this morning.

What in the fucking fuck is wrong with people? This motherfucker needs to spend the rest of his life behind bars. The biggest sign of a person becoming a serial killer is their treatment of animals. I mean, he's already been to prison, so it's not like he has any interest in being rehabilitated in prison.

Well I am shocked that a person like this would be A Trump supporter and love the Confederacy. /s

He should be up for now than 5 years. This is completely fucked.

... monkey torture enthusiasts ...

wat

Mr Macartney has cooperated with investigators from the Department of Homeland Security and agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges. He will formally make a plea later this month and is facing up to five years in prison.

WHAT THE FUCK. 5 YEARS?!

FOR SEXUALLY ABUSING, TORTURING, AND MUTILATING ANIMALS FOR PROFIT?!

And of course hes a MAGAt. Fucking soulless, worthless cumstains on the fabric of society.

I could have done without knowing that this was a thing. What a fucking world.

You see, sometimes you see some fucked up shit in a movie and you think "oh ok, this is just for the sake of story, there's no way this has ever happened in real life"
Then you read an article like this.

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.

How... How do you even come back from this? Is there any hope these people can get rehabilitated? I'm struggling to believe the answer is anything other than "NO."

What. The. Fuck.

This psycho is only facing 5 years in prison?! Yikes

Nuke us from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure

Depending on the monkey or ape species I feel like this is on par with torturing human babies or young toddlers. They’re completely helpless and as intelligent and self-aware.

What the fuck

I guess it doesn't really matter how big of a shitter I am on my life, I'll always be outshines by a professional piece of shit like this.

It's not gonna stop me from wanting to improve myself and helping those around me as best I can. Peace

Five years in prison for that is a joke.

Wow, I’m shocked that somebody doing such horrible things would take the time to support “states’ rights” as well!

…well, not that shocked.

Monkey torture enthusiasts? This isn't about saving money on cosmetics testing or some shit, they literally just like torturing monkeys?????

Put them all in the Titan submersible and weld the doors shut before you send it down

No thank you. I've had enough internet for today.

Who are the individuals paying to commission this torture?

Definitely needs to be some investigation into the ‘consumer’ here.

They're only getting 5 years in prison. The article also says Macartney had been in prison previously. Since the US prison systems are designed for sadism and punishment, it probably did more to make the guy amenable to this kind of horror. It's also known that slaughterhouses frequently get their workers from the prison system, so it's very possible that this guy will simply have his unapproved abuses exchanged with ones that our society sanctions.

When he comes out, his mind is most likely to be more disturbed than when he went in.

Monkey torture network WTF

Put these people to death themselves. No redeeming value for net of them.

When people warn you about the ideas they associate yourself with, this is what they're talking about.

This is one of the rare occassions when I hope the afterlife is real and what people say about near-death experiences is real. I want these motherfuckers to feel the full horror of what they've done.

You don't find these people on the other political side. You find them on that side. It's a categorical divide, those who use empathy correctly, and those who pretend to suppress it and instead become obsessed with witnessing pain. You know they're all cowards, the shit-my-pants-in-fear kind. Reduced to snot and tears the second the bad cop comes in. Just so incredibly weak and no amount of manmode posturing could ever hide it.

Oof what a piece of shit. I'd say hurting animals for profit is just the lowest of the low but I guess as a meat eater I better shut up lol
