Crush video

In 2006 an Internet crush video surfaced in which a woman stomps on a kitten with stiletto high-heels. Eventually the woman drives her heel into the kitten's eye and penetrates the eye socket, leading to loss of blood and the death the kitten.[2] Internauts discovered and revealed the identity of the woman as Wang-Jue (simplified Chinese: 王 珏; traditional Chinese: 王 玨; pinyin: Wáng-Jué), a Chinese nurse, and revealed that the cameraman is a provincial television employee. Wang-Jue posted an apology on the Luobei city government official website, claiming that she was susceptible to persuasion to crush the kitten, being despondent from her recent divorce.[3] Both Wang-Jue and the cameraman lost their jobs as a result of the incident, although their actions were not illegal under Chinese animal cruelty laws.[4]

gollark: Couldn't you just move somewhere else secretly?
gollark: There are a bunch of ways I can imagine to track people, and in modern packs it's quite easy to do basically whatever you want to someone's base if it's not claimed.
gollark: I imagine a radiing thing wouldn't have dynmap. But still.
gollark: On CodersNet, for example, I can pull anyone's location off the dynmap API, fly over to them quite fast, then arbitrarily teleport through their base.
