Punish the man who doused a rat in alcohol and set it on fire.

Not everything you can watch online is kittens and puppies. In fact, there are plenty of things you may wish you could unsee. Like the video of a man named “Mr. Shi” who thought it would be funny to force feed alcohol to a rat and then set it on fire.

It all started when “Shi” thought the tiny critter was stealing his food. So for that small crime he caught the rodent, spread it out on a net and forced it to drink a 50% proof rice wine shouting “drink up”. But as if that wasn’t enough, he took his cruel deeds a step even further. While onlookers laughed in the background, “Shi” pulls out a lighter and sets the animal fire.

These types of “rat revenge” videos have become a recent trend in China. Last month a similar video of a rat being tortured in Wenchuan.

This type of blatant disregard for living things is unacceptable and the Chinese government needs to do what they can to punish those who commit these terrible acts.

Tell China it is time to crack down on animal cruelty. Sign the petition and ask the government of China to trace the post back to “Mr. Shi” and punish him for animal abuse.
