Animal cruelty videos on YouTube - can we all report them?

So they don't actally know what goes on there until a video is flagged and there are probably hundreds of vids flagged each day and only so many people to look at them. They have to sift through a hell of a lot and in the present climate with the music companies bugging them there's an obvious lag.

I can quite see your point, Sarah. However, they must make a lot of money through the site; indeed it's part of Google, so money shouldn't really be an object - if they can't keep up, they should take more people on. Three-plus weeks is too long. Afterall, if they can take videos off that infringe copyright as quickly as they are - and believe me, hundreds must have gone recently - then they should also take violent/cruel videos off at the same time IMO. Just my opinion!

Yeah, I agree with all of that. That's why I was thinking of offering my services as a video moderator! Don't think they'll take me on though..... **sigh**

Just a note to say that, finally, the video of the dog tormenting the water vole's gone. I don't know whether it was the action of YouTube or the owner, but at least we got a result.

Thanks for your support, everyone!
