Anticrumping

Anticrumping is a term used to describe a range of social and political movements that emerged in opposition to the widespread practice of "crumping" or "crush" videos, which depicted the simulated or actual crushing of small animals. These videos gained notoriety in the early 2000s, raising significant ethical concerns and leading to widespread public outcry.

The anticrumping movement encompasses various efforts aimed at combating the creation, distribution, and viewing of such content. This includes advocating for stronger animal cruelty laws, raising public awareness about the psychological implications of animal abuse, and promoting responsible online behavior. Activist groups and individuals involved in anticrumping have utilized online platforms, educational campaigns, and lobbying efforts to achieve their goals.

Key objectives of the anticrumping movement include ensuring that perpetrators of animal cruelty are held accountable, preventing the normalization of violence against animals, and fostering a greater sense of empathy and respect for animal welfare. The movement also highlights the potential links between animal abuse and other forms of violence.
