The Zoosadism Project, published on Zoosadism.com, is operated by a team of investigative journalists and grassroots researchers who have spent years tracking offender networks, documenting cases, and doing the work others walk away from.
Our work focuses on detailed case studies, media and cultural analysis, legal developments, and original investigative research that others often overlook or won’t touch. We fact-check, dig deep, and challenge the surface-level narratives you see elsewhere. Accuracy is non-negotiable with a subject this serious.
We work alongside independent investigators, network trackers, academics, legal professionals, and subject matter experts who have been in this space for years. Our reporting has been described by some of the most experienced voices in the field as “frighteningly accurate.”
Our goal is to make research on zoosadism, current events regarding animal abuse, and the behavioral patterns seen in offenders accessible and easy to understand. While this topic can be disturbing, it’s an important one.
Journalistic Standards
Community standards
We are not a platform for zoosadists to network, and we are not interested in content that serves them. Mass-reporting campaigns and uncontrolled leaks often do more harm than good. They amplify reach, tip off targets, and turn serious investigations into spectacle. We focus on verified exposure. That means no unvetted lists, no clout-chasing, and no coverage that functions as free advertising for predators. If it doesn’t serve the investigation or the public record, we don’t publish it.
We do not coordinate or encourage vigilante action of any kind. This is not a community for harassment campaigns, mob reporting, or unsanctioned action against individuals. That approach burns investigations, endangers sources, and ultimately serves no one but the people we are trying to expose.
We will never publish information that risks compromising an active investigation. Where we come across actionable intelligence, we turn it over to the appropriate authorities before it goes anywhere else. We do not publish until it is safe to do so, safe for the investigation, safe for the people involved, and safe for the public record. Getting it out fast means nothing if getting it out wrong lets someone walk.
Images and media related to abuse
We will never publish illegal content. We will never share or distribute crush videos. We will never publish gore or pornography in any form. That means no graphic depictions of wounds, mutilation, or death presented for shock value or gratification.
No sexual content involving animals. No recordings or stills that constitute obscene material under any legal definition. No content that could itself be classified as animal abuse material. None of this content has any place here.
Images or stills from perpetrators may be included in our investigations to help readers understand the severity of what occurred. Some of our articles will contain disturbing imagery, this is the nature of the subject matter. Where such imagery appears it is included deliberately, to convey the reality of these cases. We do not distribute obscene material. If publishing it serves the predator more than the investigation and the public record, it doesn’t get published.
Naming individuals publicly
We hold ourselves to the highest evidential standard before publishing anyone’s identity. Personal information is only published when verified independently by our own sourcing beyond a shadow of a doubt and we believe it is in the interest of the public record. We do not republish unverified doxes. Names, identities, and personal details are published when confirmed through law enforcement records, FOIA requests, perpetrator admissions, or equivalent primary sources. Every identification is sourced and documented. If we cannot verify it ourselves, we do not publish it.
Minors connected to cases
The personal information of minors is never published unless it has already been released by law enforcement or mainstream news media. Each case is evaluated individually against three criteria: whether publication serves the public interest, whether it serves the interests of the parties involved, and whether the severity of the case justifies it. All three are weighed before any decision is made.
Living investigations
Some investigations on The Zoosadism Project are living documents. As new material, evidence, or testimony surfaces, articles may be continuously updated to reflect new findings or clarify existing details. Where significant updates are made, changes will be noted within the article.
Sources
Conflicting accounts and disputed facts
This space has no shortage of self-serving narratives. Where content is disputed claims default to the documented record, logs, archived conversations, and contemporaneous evidence. Every claim is traced to its origin, cross-referenced with investigators and firsthand sources, and sourced at the bottom of each investigation so readers can evaluate the record themselves. What we publish reflects events as they actually occurred, not as anyone remembers or claims they did.
Source protection and Anonymity
Sources are cited according to their own preferences. Where a source requests to remain unnamed, their contribution is noted at the bottom of the relevant investigation as “Interview with confidential source” accompanied by a brief description of their role, never their identity.
Where a source is central enough to a documented investigation that their involvement is already a matter of record, we may name them in our reporting, but what they told us and the fact that we spoke to them directly will remain confidential. Their identity is part of the story, their cooperation with us is not.
We do not source from confidential informants lightly. Anonymous sources are only used when we believe the information is credible and when we are able to verify it independently. In practice this means anonymous testimony is used to support, corroborate, or add nuance to events that are already documented and are not to carry a story on its own.
We understand that sources in this space fear for their jobs, their relationships, and in some cases their safety. Identities withheld by request stay withheld. Documentation is always kept on file with the project. We do not take that responsibility lightly.
Offender correspondence
We correspond with sources involved in illegal activity, and with offenders directly, where it serves the investigation or the public record. This may include seeking comment, verifying claims, or understanding how networks operate from the inside. We do not offer legal protection, immunity, or advice. We do not protect offenders, advocate for them, or grant them a platform to minimize what they have done. All correspondence is documented and held to the same verification standard as everything else we publish.
