Shocking new data released today reveals the scale of animal cruelty content on social media, with Facebook hosting the highest proportion of reported abuse.

The findings come from The Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition (SMACC), a network of 34 animal protection organizations, including us at World Animal Protection.

in 2024, the public submitted over 80,000 links showing suspected animal abuse.
Of these, 87.5% were found on Facebook.

Monkeys, cats, and dogs feature heavily in the disturbing content.

Endangered animals such as orangutans, gorillas, and long-tailed macaques are also victims of abuse online.
