"Dark Lord" Is in Custody The man who tortured cats on camera as "Dark Lord" is in police custody in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, and his name is Luo Fanghong. We announced it on Instagram this week together with the Chinese activists and partner organizations, Feline Guardians among them, who spent years building the case against him. This is the full account of the case, and it includes a correction to our victims page. Undercover volunteers first documented him in March 2024. His videos were made in a room he had set up for the purpose, with cats caged or tied down in front of a running camera while he worked through his equipment on them, and the footage went out to the chat groups where people trade this material. Our own memorials for his victims record crossbow bolts, spring-loaded traps, electrocution, hot mustard forced down a kitten's throat, a microwave, a washing machine, and a chainsaw. Every one of those memorials was written by a volunteer who sat through the video. When Luo started posting, he called himself Peng Xiang. That name already belonged to another user who had been posting similar videos, with the same politically charged jabs at China's national leaders, and the two were close enough that volunteers, us included, treated them as one person. According to the activists who worked the case, the original Peng Xiang went quiet right around the time Luo picked up the name, which kept the confusion going for more than two years, and then he resurfaced in August of this year. The original Peng Xiang is the one who killed Fireball, the two-month-old kitten on our home page, who some of you know as Miiko. That person has not been identified. Luo was borrowing an identity that belonged to someone else, and his arrest does nothing for the cats the other man killed, so the search for Fireball's killer is still open. 👉 projectnomore.net/dispatch-d…

From Elena Yushenko: "What increasingly shocks me is not human cruelty itself, but how deeply it has become ingrained in our world. We have built a society in which the suffering of millions of living beings has become part of everyday life, business, traditions, and entertainment. Humanity has learned to justify almost anything. Killing - when it brings profit. Torture - when it serves someone's interests. Violence - when it is disguised as tradition. Even outright sadism finds its own audience. But what frightens me most is the sheer scale of human indifference. Those who genuinely try to stand against this cruelty are tragically few compared to those who remain silent, make excuses, or simply choose not to think about it. And I find myself asking more and more often: How far must humanity go before it finally understands that intelligence, power, and physical superiority do not give us the moral right to turn the lives of all other beings on this planet into endless suffering?" #AnimalCruelty #AnimalCrueltyAwareness

”This scum who sexually assaulted the mother cat has been found, all the kittens are gone, but there’s no law to punish it!” Look at him fighting back vehemently for his right to rape cats. How do people get this deranged? 🤦‍♂️ #AnimalCruelty #BoycottChina #ChinaAnimalProtectionLaw
