When Surfers Unite Against a Kitten Abuser

Text

In just a few hours surfers gathered more than 1,500 people and alarmed the police and animal rights organisations to save the kitten.

Shocked computer surfers decided to unite and do something about Dusty, a kitten its underage owner was abusing. The abuser posted a video of him torturing the kitten on YouTube under the nick “Glennspam1”. 

The united surfers managed to find, through the “Glennspam1” site to a MySpace and Facebook accounts and finally the personal web site of the abuser (http://kenny-glenn.com) which has been closed since and the videos of the torture removed from YouTube.

The surfers also used photographs on the web and videos of the poor kitten to track down 14-year-old Kenny Glenn from Lawton in Oklahoma who was then arrested.

What is incredible is the speed at which Internet surfers became activated. In just a couple of hours, they collected 1,500 people on a Facebook group called “Dusty, this is for you”. They contacted the police, PETA and the media.
