A call to every animal lover on DU. Please take a moment to help!
There is this son of a bitch on Youtube who has put up five different videos entitled "Don't Pet This Kitty!"

I was on there doing a search for talking cats, and from there I found some videos of "angry" cats. Most of these were short, 20 second videos of cats who were freaked by the presence of a video camera. They'd bat at the camera a couple times or maybe hiss and then run off.

The person I'm talking about (user name babylonsfalling) has these five videos up (at least), and in every one he's intentionally causing this poor little white cat to lose its mind. He's kicking at the cat, poking it, and putting his camera within inches of the cat's face. Each video is at least 30 seconds long. In one of them you can hear a woman in the background who says something in apparent protest but does nothing to stop this abuse.

Click the link to each video and then immediately pause it if you don't have the stomach for this. Below each video is a selection marked "Flag". When you click on that you can select Animal Abuse from a sub-menu. Please flag each of these four videos. If you have an account and can leave comments you can also make a suggestion that Youtube release the ISP of the person posting these to the appropriate authorities. At the end of the last video the poster has a title card which says "A Babylonsfalling Production". Maybe not enough to prove for sure that this is his cat, but at least it leaves little doubt that he is directly responsible for the videos.

My wife and I would both appreciate any help you can provide in - at least - getting these horrible videos off of Youtube. Thank you for your time. I'll also post this in GD because I think it's important enough to go there, and the mods can make their own decision about whether to remove that crosspost or not. Here are the five links:

My cats got really upset when I started the videos. I hope he gets kicked off and someone takes the cat away from him.

I hope this creep has the police knock on his door and have him taken away for animal abuse. The evidence is clear.

7. Hello, Longhorn, and thank you for stepping up! =)
Honestly things could stand to be a lot better, but I'm still alive and trying to sort stuff out. I've been meaning to post in Weight Loss/Maintenance again but it's just tough to find a way to express things sometimes. I will soon - I promise. :)

10. Well, we miss you!
It's okay to pop in and say hi even if you're not in the mood for full disclosure. ;) But we do worry when we don't hear from you! Take care and a hug to your wife! :hug:

9. Thank you everyone, both here and in GD, for the great response!
I didn't expect the level of response that I got. I guess I really misunderestimated you guys and gals, and my wife and I are both very grateful for the response.

And here is the reply of a Freeper to the flagging ....

"Just thought you should know: A lot of the "flag this" comments are the results of a concerted effort by the batshit-crazy members of democratundergrounddotcom, an America-hating, troop-bashing site chock full of dictator worshippers, conspiracy nuts, communists and assorted basement dwelling moonbats. They're the poster children for mental illness."

13. I'm making it a point to respond to these "attacks"
thanking them for the publicity for DU.

Anyone who is dumb enough to think I took time off from hating America and bashing the troops at my shrine to fucking Pol Pot and Karl Marx to flag some animal abuse needs to be put on display somewhere. :rofl:
