Shortcast #69 Hannah | EndPrim8Abuse

Shortcasts are short standalone audio comments and statements from conservationists, campaigners, charities, authors and members of our audience. If it needs to be said – say it here!
A shortcast by Hannah from the campaign group EndPrim8abuse. Hannah has been working for two years and spent countless hours trying to get YouTube to take responsibility and take down deeply disturbing videos showing the abuse of very young monkeys.
With her colleague Sue, Hannah has put in literally thousands of complaints and emails to YouTube, and has contacted organisations and charities all over the world - but the videos are still online, and both YouTube and the content creators are earning ad revenue from animal abuse.
This is a very informative, powerful and emotional shortcast. It is uncomfortable listening but it is not graphic. Hannah has intentionally left out the more harrowing details she's uncovered in the hope that more people will feel able to listen to it and help her and her supporters #EndtheTrend.
