He Sexually Assaulted Dog With Knife
Lucas Russell Vanwoert of Kent Country, Michigan, 25, was charged with 4 counts of "Creation of Animal Crush Video" and 4 counts of "Distribution of Animal Crush Video" involving 4 different dogs and resulting in death.
One of the videos shows a dog being sexually assaulted with a knife and then cutting it's tongue out displaying it to the camera. Vanwoert exchanged approximately 705 files of animal abuse videos since November 2020 with an unidentified 51-year-old Australian man that has since been arrested. That man was subsequently charged arrested in Australia for bestiality, animal cruelty, and child exploitation.
The digital age has brought a whole new type of sicko into the spotlight. Individuals making sadistic videos of animals being tortured to satisfy their perverse fetishes. In 2020 there was a federal bill passed into law called the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (The PACT Act). Signed into law by then President Trump, it responds to the popularity of gruesome “animal crush” videos online and fits exactly with Vanwoert's crimes. The PACT Act makes it unlawful for any person to purposely engage in animal crushing, the creation of animal crush videos, and the distribution of animal crush videos. Violator’s are subject to criminal penalties - a fine, a prison term of up to 7 years, or both.
Members of the AHWF believed in the importance of this law. They foresaw problems that could arise with deranged individuals displaying animal abuse on social media. This is not the first case of animal crush videos, and it won't be the last. We must embrace laws that fill in all the loopholes to protect animals.
Vanwoert was charged with 8 counts of animal abuse and each of the charges are felonies punishable by fines and/or up to 7 years imprisonment. If prosecutors do their job then Vanwoert will be met with the full force of this federal law. Vanwoert moved to Ohio earlier this year and was being held by the Mercer County Sheriff's Office. It’s unknown as to if Vanwoert is still being held.
