The video depicted a small gray kitten named Sonny being pet then held upside-down by a German/Belgian man. A few seconds after, the man would set the cat on fire with a zippo lighter and burn it alive while continuing to record. The video was promptly removed and gained an unknown number of views before deletion. The video was believed to have been lost until 2022, when a user found a video download on archive.ph. However, the user chose to keep the video hidden and not share it to the public. | ||
