Producer of "Crushed Kitten" Video Apologizes
2006-03-10 16:55:19    Chinastic
The nationwide hunt for the maker of a notorious kitten-killing video has finally come to an end. The man who filmed the video posted an apology letter yesterday on the website of his county government.
   
The pictures show how the woman killed the tiny kitty with her high-heels
The man, named Li Yuejun, confesses that he feels much remorse for doing such a crude thing just for money. He says he accepts the condemnation from Internet surfers and all people of good conscience.

In his letter, Li disclosed the whole procedure he used in making the videos. Last summer, Li Yuejun met a video photographer through QQ, a message-service program popular in China. The man asked Li Yuejun if he would like to shoot some films to make some extra money. He emphasized that it would not be porn films or any other kind that would violate the law. After some hesitation, Li accepted the offer. He then set about finding an actress - the glamorous-looking lady in the kitten-killing video.

When some gruesome pictures from the video of cats and many other tiny creatures getting crushed by the woman's high-heel shoes were posted on a website and then reproduced by many other websites and newspapers, heated discussions were generated. Newspapers and online forums were then filled with people's suggestions of what should be done to punish the woman and the filmmakers.

Soon after, angry netizens and the nation's media launched a large-scale hunt for the makers of the inhumane films. The scene of the cinematic cat killing was finally pinpointed in a small county in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. The woman in the video was identified as a nurse in the county's hospital, surnamed Wang, who helped make the film under the direction of Li Yuejun.

Li, the camera operator at the Luobei county TV station, admits that he helped arrange for the actress in the video and sold some video dics online. However, he says that he was not the man who shot the film.

Currently, there is no related law in China to punish the filmmakers. However, people are calling on the government to consider making the country's first animal welfare law.
