Ban Sought on Animal Death Videos (AP)
LOS ANGELES - Lawmakers and animal rights activists are calling for a ban
on the production of ``crush videos,'' films for viewers who get sexually
aroused by watching women smashing rats and other small animals.
Sales of the videos, primarily on the Internet, is a worldwide business,
Ventura County District Attorney Michael Bradbury said at a news
conference Monday.
He was flanked by poster-sized photographs taken from videos that showed
women's feet in platform shoes or stiletto heels, apparently crushing rats
and other rodents.
``Put a stop, won't you, to crush videos,'' said actor Mickey Rooney, an
animal rights activist.
``What are we going to hand our children? This is what we're going to hand
down, these videos, crush videos? God forbid.''
State animal cruelty laws outlaw the making of such videos, but
prosecution is difficult unless producers are caught in the act. A
proposed federal law would target distributors, said Rep. Elton Gallegly,
R-Simi Valley.
``It clearly is one of the sickest and most demented forms of animal
cruelty that I've ever been exposed to,'' Gallegly said.
His bill would make it illegal to create, sell or possess any
``depiction'' of animals being tortured, maimed or killed for commercial
purposes. Violators could get up to five years in prison.
Jeff Vilencia of Lakewood, whose << Squish>>Ê Productions has made crush
films of insects, said he doesn't plan to resume production unless the
controversy is resolved.
``What about the fur industry, what about fishermen, what about the cattle
industry?'' Vilencia asked. ``The concern is you can kill anything you
want, basically, in any
manner you want if it's for food or for sport or for fashion, but you
cross the line when you do it for sexual gratification.''
He estimated there were fewer than 1,000 crush fetishists worldwide, based
on his Internet contacts.
During a yearlong probe, an investigator went into Internet chat rooms to
try to obtain crush videos.
``She talked to people in Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico, all
over the United States,'' said Tom Connors, a Ventura County assistant
prosecutor. ``We were trying to find out whether people were still
producing the videos.''
The probe led to animal cruelty charges against two people who are
scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Thursday, said Carol Rash, a Los
Angeles County prosecutor.
If convicted, they could face more than four years in prison, she said.

Hello,
That's because it hasn't been posted, and I thank you VERY much for making
the post. Very fascinating issue, and the segment of the foot fetish community
that is into crush/tample, quite a LARGE segment, are up in arms over this
proposed ban. There IS a very real COMMERCIAL market for these types of crush
videos, a few folks even earn their livings by making & selling them to
crush-obsessed foot fetishists.

The REAL nature of the sexual arousal, for MOST crush fetishists, is totally
MASOCHISTIC, rather than SADISTIC. What do I mean by that? Well, the viewers,
overwhelmingly men, who have this crush fetish, while watching the fatal animal
crush occur, fantasize that THEY are the ones who are BEING crushed to death.
That is the primary source for their erotic arousal & climax, NO type of
sadistic pleasure in terms of seeing the animals die, and they don't identify
with the female CRUSHER, but rather imagine themselves as the animal who is
getting crushed.

Absolutely true. And the internet is to BLAME for the authorities deciding to
implement these types of laws. You see, before the internet came along, the
entire crush fetish group of people stayed to themselves, only sharing info &
videos with each other. But once a few of them started to LIST their videos on
the INTERNET, clueless animal lover newbies starting stumbling across the web
sites, became outraged, contacted BIG and influential animal rights
organizations, and pressure was then put on the political WHORES to draft laws
to outlaw these videos.
>He was flanked by poster-sized photographs taken from videos that showed

Quite common, even though the crushing of large bugs snails, crabs, & other
little animals is even more common.

Hey Mickey, you old & senile fellow, stop trying to use you washed up fame to
coerce your elected whores into denying people their ability to achieve
ultimate sexual climaxes.

OUTRAGEOUS, for the federal government to get involved.

It's a sexual fetish, Elton. Your entire society is CRUEL, genocidal in fact.
Stop trying to demonize this segment of the population, just because you know
there are so FEW crush fetishists, that they could never form a viable
electorate block.

Jeff is the #1 producer/seller of these types of videos. Cool guy.

Jeff, your insight of Truth is absolutely BRILLIANT, but the Human Garbage
leaders of your society are evil and perverse enough to reject your undeniable
truth, and simply toss it aside as they move on their agenda of pandering to
the large sexually uptight and the animal lover constituencies.

Probably true.

Unbelievable! She literally ENTRAPPED and COERCED innocent people, into
providing her with ammunition to use to try to outlaw this fetish activity.

What a PROFOUNDLY insightful point Jeff made, pointing out the hypocrisy of a
society practicing MASS animal genocide & torture, but choosing to condemn &
try to outlaw this TINY segment of animal abuse, SOLELY because the REASON it
is being committed, is for SEXUAL gratification.

Hello,
It certainly is, as long as you are a brainwashed, mentally ill, profoundly
hypocritical, member of society.
>We don't need any more perverts allowing their

Crush fetishists are the ones who are in danger of being hurt themselves,
because many of them, in addition to masturbating to climax over these videos,
also go to hookers and paid dominatrixes and have them STAND on their bodies,
risking broken ribs and othere injuries.
As to your perverse interpretation of "weirness", it is a LOT weirder to
genocidally mass murder 1,000,000 cows a year because you like the taste of
beef, and a million other animals because you like to wear leather or fur
clothing & shoes, as a diseased society.
> People are sick of perverts not

I'm sure they are. Society recognizes how DANGEROUS the WWW is, how it
threatens to draw citizen-slaves away from enslaving themselves to specific,
singular humans via marriage and Sacred Family Unit creation.
I won't even try to convince you that your attitude proves you to be far more
"perverse" than any crush fetishist. It's not worth the time or effort, and
since I'm familiar with your thinking abilities and mindset, I know there is no
chance of you recognizing or accepting the truth of this fact.
Take care, JOE

Hello,
Thanks very much for the post. Unfortunately, I have absolutely NO respect
for John Douglas or any of his "insights", since most of them are totally wrong
and bigoted. Still, it makes for interesting reading. I'm leaving on my monthly
trip in only 68 hours, and my time is limited, so my commentary below, to
John's statements, will be very BRIEF.
> Q: "When
>did you first learn about 'Crushing?'' JD: "I was first alerted to this

Shows how out of touch John is. The crush fetish has been with us for
CENTURIES. For John to only have learbed about it 7 years ago, shows how poorly
read he is on fetishism.
>These pictures or movies are often photographed by men and bartered by men so
>this is a situation of dual offenders producing a type of pornography but in
>classic pornography that is illegal we typically consider the women to be

>between twenty and one hundred dollars but the medium is in the thirty dollar
>range. These films are excruciatingly poorly produced. Some are not even in
>focus."
The price range is accurate. The quality of the videos is generally VERY
good, however.
>Q: "Amateur hour snuff films. Where are they sold?" JD: "They are
>sold on the world wide web or internet for anywhere between twenty and one
>hundred dollars. They are sold from friend to friend. The crush community is
>a small, homely, inbred community. This type of thing has nowhere near the
>appeal of even the most perverse forms of >legal pornography."
What a DISEASED hypocrite this John Douglas creature is. Bathing in the blood
of his society's VICTIMS to get RICH, via his book sales, & yet having the
audacity to insult the crush fetish community with RIDICULOUS words like
"homely".
> Q: "Why do they
>create these products and who buys them?" JD: "The concept is supposed to be
>sexually stimulating but only the people who do it and collect it are
>gratified by it--it is not a normal human sexual instinct and in April of

Hey John, you WHORE: Your diseased society is not "normal".
>The Sacramento Vampire was a spree killer who used to have intercourse with
>dead cats he had sliced open and this is a figment of that type of delusion.
>This is a pathetic power play where the target is a defenseless animal and
>the means to exact revenge is the penis or vagina as emblemized through a

>about women.
John is totally wrong. The above explanation has NOITHING to do with the True
Reality of crush fetishists.
> The purveyor will also imagine that the animal is his own
>genitals and gets off on the idea that he is being punished.
The VIEWER of the crush video enjoys this fantasy, sometimes.
>Sometimes he
>will masturbate with objects or even pound himself with a shoe."
True.
>Q: "What
>could make a person want to kill animals for pleasure and integrate it into
>sexual fantasy?" JD: "Sexual aggression directed towards small animals is
>almost always an indication that the holder of the perversion has himself or
>herself been the victim of a sexual assault by a family member of the same
>sex, or willingly had a sexual affair with a father, sibling or other
>caretaker. Now there are exceptions to this naturally but they are rare.
John has NO idea what he is TALKING about. He has NO understanding of what
the crush fetish is, or the mindsets of crush fetishists. I've already
EXPLAINED that mindset in previous, recent posts, and have no time or desire to
repeat myself.
>These women also tend to be homely types using the death of animals to
>reconfigure for power."
Ridiculous! Many of the gals in crush videos are VERY beautiful. If they are
less than beautiful, it's only because the videographer could not CONVINCE a
more beautiful gal to take a job that involved crushing animals to death, for a
$100-$1000 dollar fee.
>Q: "How pathetic." JD: "Often these women or females
>feel they are too ugly to ever have a normal relationship with a member of
>the opposite sex. A male with these characteristics will occasionally embark
>on a killing spree and sometimes the victims are pets or companion animals.
>Much of the brutalization we see of animals by gangs does not fit into this

>exceptions to the rules I have just articulated--about these women being
>unattractive victims of incest--and that is out of nearly two hundred and
>fifty offenders who sexualized the mistreatment of pets and companion
>animals. Generally speaking these people are too cowardly to confront human
>beings but feel on safer terrain murdering tiny animals."
As I KNEW would be the case even before I started reading this article, John
has NO understanding of what the crush fetish is all about. None at all.
Not going to comment on the rest, but you can safely assume that just about
EVERY comment & opinion John makes, is incorrect.
Take care, JOE

Hello Christi,
I had only heard about this fetish this weekend via an article
in the Chicago Sun-Times. I was horrified to hear of it.
(I missed most of this thread--thank gawd--because I normally
do not read Joe's stuff and the replies that follow). The
columnist in the Sun-Times who wrote about it was also horrified.
He talked to some police, who were aware of it and were concerned
not only because of the obvious animal cruelty involved but also
because this type of behavior is often a forerunner to similar
acts of cruelty to other humans. Jeffrey Dahlmer is a classic
example. I too find it difficulty to imagine why anyone would
want to do this to an animal.
Kind regards,
Nancy

It's a shit shower, basically. Some people have a fetish where they like to be
crapped on or eat crap or smear it on their bodies. It is incredibly dangerous,
not to mention so frigging disgusting I can hardly stand it.
