One Voice is taking a zoophilous dog sitter residing in Centre-Val de Loire to court
A conversation on an instant messenger has allowed One Voice to file a complaint against a zoophile who took advantage of dog sitting to sexually abuse numerous dogs.
Following a report from a whistle-blower, we are launching a legal attack on a young man, a notorious zoophile, and reporting on the existence of a specialised forum where people exchange (with others) pornographic videos of zoophilic acts. We are therefore filing a complaint today, Thursday 9 June*, at the Bourges Legal Tribunal for acts of bestiality, and asking that the man be given obligatory psychiatric care at the least, and receives a lifetime ban on possessing an animal of any kind. One Voice commits to represent in court all families who have entrusted their dog to this individual free of charge.
On Tuesday 7 June 2022, we received an alarming report. A man boasting about “letting his dog mount him” and sending multiple photos and videos of dog’s genitalia on a social network instant messenger. At the same time, he asked the whistle-blower to send him videos and photos of the genitalia of his dog, and worse still, to entrust his animal to him to sexually assault it. Border Collies, Bernese Mountain dogs, or German Shepherds, the individual seems to mainly attack large dogs, and traumatises them under the pretext of it being “good for them”. The animals were entrusted to him by people totally ignorant to his deviant practices.
Videos sent via Facebook instant messenger
The animal abuser, around twenty, on the surface appears to lead a quiet and well-ordered life. He has a job, qualifications, expresses himself clearly. A life which contrasts sharply with the animal pornography videos sent. In one of them, he performs with a Bernese Mountain dog, his face hidden behind a dog mask. In another, filmed close-up, he shows his sexual parts and that of the dog in full action. The images sent by this man are absolutely sickening. Degrading. For dogs and bitches. And his comments even more so, if that is even possible.
Unbearable images
Our investigators have never seen such scenes of sexual abuse on animals, and neither have our lawyers! Six years ago however, the association had already put a zoophile behind bars who had attacked Léa and Lola. We followed the long process of healing and recovery and found a haven of peace for the families of the two dogs where they could finally enjoy life despite their trauma.
A specialised forum…
At the same time, we discovered the Zoo forum… (we are not giving the name so as not to give it publicity), where those who follow sexual acts on animals discuss their ‘passion’. A European section where the exchanges take place particularly in French exists but is only open to those who are already subscribed. With no precautionary statement for minors of those who are sensitive is displayed, on the contrary the adverts for sex toys in the shape of dog genitalia swarm onto your screen. Various topics are addressed on the forum, for example, the age at which they knew they were ‘zoos’. There are also tips for choosing their profile photo or mailbox host so as not to be traced, and even on how to behave during police custody to avoid imprisonment, etc.
We will do everything we can to get it closed down! The animals cannot, by definition, consent to such acts.
More than 1.5 million animal pornography films watched in France every month
We are working with the campaign from our partner Animal Cross, according to whom 10,000 people frequent classified sites for sexual experiences with animals. More than 50,000 animal pornography videos are watched every day just in France. Our partner has been successful in getting eleven sites of this kind closed down. Since 2020, Animal Cross has asked for a law which strongly penalises acts but also watching animal pornography videos, rape, and sexual assaults on animals. It is therefore natural that they pursue a case in the civil courts with us.
We are also at the disposal of the legal system to welcome and be entrusted with any animal that is a victim of these despicable acts, particularly the dog belonging to this individual. We ask that all families that have entrusted their companion(s) to him contact us at info@one-voice.fr. One Voice commits to represent them free of charge in court.
The link: violence carried out on animals is dangerous for everyone
We have been carrying out a petition for years which condemns all violence, no matter the species of the victim. You can continue to sign it. In fact, the link that exists between violent acts carried out on animals is of the same nature as those carried out on humans. We argue that it can often lead from one to another. A person who preys on animals is a strong indicator of a potentially dangerous person for those around them and for society.
Whether it be someone who mistreats a cat, trains dogs for fighting, lashing out at the family pet to keep their family under control before potentially assaulting them if they upset them, or engages in sexual violence such as bestiality, the acts of such individuals are indicative of a mental imbalance.
