How do I report abuse online?
Whether we witness abuse live or in videos circulating on the Internet, our duty is to report it.

In order to report this type of video, you must do the following:
Not divulge them
The objective of the videos on pages such as YouTube or networks such as Twitter is to attract the more followers the better. In this way they receive financial compensation for it. If we disclose them, even if it is simply because of the outrage it generates, we will only be helping their cause.
Therefore, it does not matter what you see. Get down to business quickly and don’t help them spread something so cruel.
Gather evidence
Everything you can collect will be excellent at the time of filing the complaint. Try to find out the username of the owner of the video and see if it is on other pages or other networks. Copy the links of all the pages in which it appears, take screenshots, save images and everything you consider a proof.
Do not think that providing a lot of data can be a nuisance, quite the opposite. The more data you have, the easier it will be to deal with the case.
Send the information
This is undoubtedly the part that possibly many of us did not know. All the information you have together (only if you want) with your data and a letter (optional), you have to send it to an email address: [email protected].
Once what you have sent them reaches them, the lawyers will examine the video carefully as well as the information sent. This is extremely important. Sometimes it is possible that that case has already been tried or that it is not from the country in which you reside. Therefore, it will be outside its legal limits or it may not be real.
An exhaustive examination of the video will also make it possible to recognize the people involved thanks to the tools available in this office for this purpose.
Once the case has been examined, the pertinent complaint is sent to the police who will be in charge of looking for the aggressor and that justice is done.
If you see the abuse live, it is best to take photos or videos of the animal, its condition, the place and if you see someone nearby, too. You can send it to the same email so that the necessary procedures are followed.
