A WOMAN, who incurred online furor after a video clip showing her torturing a rabbit circulated on the Internet, has reported to police in Sichuan Province to punish the company that hired her to shoot the gruesome video for money.
The woman, identified only by her surname Huang, admitted she was paid 100 yuan (US$15) to 400 yuan for each clip showing her sadistically crushing little creatures, such as rabbit, lobster and carp, with high heels from 2007 to 2008.
The woman, married and a native of Chengdu, the provincial capital, said she was lured into dong this after she accidentally emailed her resume to the company, whose name was not revealed by police, after graduating from college in 2007. She was told that the videos were only for some paid viewers overseas, West China Metropolitan Daily reported today.
She said she "felt unease and guilty" after the first shoot. But her boss threatened to reveal her identity online if she quitted. She finally got rid of the job after her boss told her the Website was closed in 2008.
Huang was exposed by a group of volunteer online investigators who were outraged by a four-minute video clip that has spread rapidly online since November 14. Netizens posted Huang's personal details including her home address online, which drove Huang crazy, Xinhua said.
People who abuse animals for profit are liable for criminal offence, said An Xiang, a Beijing lawyer. But there is no law to rule against non-profit animal abuse, he added.
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences submitted a draft law on the issue to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, in June this year, said Cheng Jiwen, a lawmaker.
