Crush, or ‘animal snuff ’ videos are sexual fetish videos that involve animal cruelty (usually crushing one or multiple animals to death). 

An open source investigation found over 3000 videos for sale available to people in Australia, including videos crushing and killing kittens, puppies, dogs, baby chicks, snakes, rabbits, pigs, mice, ducklings, fish and insects.

While bestiality and animal cruelty are both illegal, there is NO specific offence in NSW that makes it illegal to possess or distribute bestiality, or animal crush footage and images.

This is a dangerous gap in our laws. The Government must fix this.
