WARNING – DON’T GET INVOLVED IF THIS MIGHT UPSET YOU – but is it fake (no!)? This video, called “Christmas Kittens” shows a boy killing two innocent and charming kittens. I have watched bits of it to confirm that it is the video. Although, I tend to never erase such images from my memory and I feel this damages me psychologically. There are many updates to this page because the page evolved and please note that the page was first written before May 25th 2012, a time when the story was fresh and evolving on the internet. THE VIDEO IS NOW – DEC 2019 – ON THIS PAGE AFTER I STRUGGLED TO FIND IT AND MAKE IT WORK..
Update 3rd Oct 2014: the kittens were killed and the person who allegedly did it is Luka Rocco Magnotta (born Eric Clinton Kirk Newman; July 24, 1982). There is a second video of him feeding kittens to a python (NY Post). This video has spawned a conspiracy theory as the hand of someone else comes into the video. Did he have an accomplice or are they the hands of the snake’s owner? In fact, Luka’s mom says the hand (which does not move) is in the kitten killing video and that it belongs to Emanuel “Manny” Lopez. She wants the police to investigate. As the hand is static it is said that it is not real. Magnotta claims he was forced by Manny to do this terrible deed. But the authorities say it is a fictional character.
Magnotta was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia as a teenager. He is accused of killing and dismembering Chinese international student Lin Jun. I believe his trial is coming up at the date of this update (more about this at base of page).
Luka Rocco Magnotta the person who filmed himself killing kittens
I have found the actual video – see belowupdate: although it worked originally, it no longer works 5 hours later. On YouTube there are other versions of it but they are just a single screen-shot like the one below.
The video starts in a very sinister way. Apparently, he…
….takes two kittens and seals them into a vacuum bag, then sucks all the air out and watches them die. Really sad because the kittens are helpless and the guy and his friends laugh and play Christmas songs….Please help find this sick twisted Maniac..
I have provided these screenshots in case someone deletes the video at source which would leave the screen black here.
Placing the kittens on the vacuum bag or a sealed plastic bag.
The video is (was?) on the www.flix.co.il website. This is a site based in Israel or concerns Israel as the language is Hebrew.
Here is the video:update: it no longer works..see link to the video below
I have published this page because I feel that I have a duty to do so.
I have put this article on the cat behavior page because so much about cat behavior is in fact about us.
It is a well know fact that animal abuse by young people can be a precursor to the same people abusing people and worse.
There is a classic case in the newspapers this morning (December 22nd 2010) of Stephen Griffiths, who calls himself “the Crossbow Cannibal”. His Facebook alter ego is “Ven Pariah”. He is described by a psychiatrist as, “a sadistic psychopath”. A neighbour describes seeing him as a thirteen-year child, “catching, killing and dissecting birds..” He ended up killing three women, two with a crossbow bolt to the head, the third with a hammer. He cooked and ate two; the third he ate raw.
We should try and identify this person. Check things out and if he did kill two kittens in this sadistic manner he needs treatment and punishment and then lifetime monitoring to protect the public.
Link to the website’s page hosting the video:..this no longer works either…very strange, sorry.
http://www.flix.co.il/tapuz/showVideo.asp?m=3781020 – link broken. Sorry.
On 26th December 2019, I found the video thanks to a commentor (see comment below). Here it is:
Further Update Dec 2019:
Luka Magnotta the babyfaced kitten killer and then a man killer. Photo: Rex Features. I have added this picture as an update as it shows his babyfaced image. A veneer behind which is an evil mind. He is smiling faintly. He looks content and calm on his arrest.
Here is some more about Luka Magnotta in brief (also read more by clicking on this link if you wish). The killing of the two kittens must have taken place before the murder of Lin Jun which can be summerised as follows. Magnotta has suffered from schizophrenia since 2000. He fled Canada after an 11-minute video titled 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick was uploaded to to Bestgore.com in which was depicted a nakes male being stabbed with an ice pick and then a knife and then dismembered followed by acts of necrophilia.
He was arrested in Berlin reading about himself at a cafe. He tried to get away by giving false names. On May 29 2012 a left foot was sent to the Conservative Party of Canada HQ. Then a left hand was sent to the Liberal Party. It was intercepted. These were the body parts of Lin Jun. His head was found by a lake in Montreal, Canada.
Magnotta was convicted of murder (and other offences) after a 12-week trial on Dec 14th 2014 after pleading not guilty due to his schizophrenia. The jury sat for 8 days. He is serving a life sentence and will be eligible for parole in 25 years from 2014 although one report is that he will be incarcerated without parole. He was also sentenced to 19 years for other offences. Source Wikipedia.
Netflix
The man is notorious enough for Netflix to pay for a full documentary on him. Here is the trailer. It was aired on Dec 18th 2019. On 20th December, the feedback from people who have seen the video is interesting.
I’ve never seen something so disturbing in all my life and I’ve watched some tough crime documentaries. what a sick individual
The movie has been described as brutal. It has brought some viewers to tears. Magnotta never ceases to shock and disturb. One commentor said it made him cry.
I would like to thank Ruth for pointing this story out to me.
Okay, now I am a cat person. Why would you kill two kittens and think it’s funny? What if you were that kitten? And you were killed by some asshole?

I can’t watch it as I have a great love for animals and It will harm me psychology. Now I am a very calm and collected person but why the fuck would these stupid sadistic boys do something as cold-blooded and horrific as that. I don’t know if its fake or not as I haven’t watched it but these guys belong in an mental asylum or better yet: jail. Go to hell you fucking assholes

Could you maybe contact http://www.stopcrush.org/ with what you know. It’s not a crush video they said but all the same they want the person caught and might be able to help do that.

involved in investigation by: Muire
I have seen the video. It does exist, but it get’s removed everytime we get close to finding it again. Whether it is ‘real’ or not, I’ll not give an opinion, but it DOES exist. It is VERY hard to watch. After murdering these babies he keeps them in a refridgerator and plays with them for 3 days..oh..the voices in the video were a tape. We have proof of all that. John Lennons Christmas song plays throughout. It happened in Mid-November. If anyone knows where Luka Magnota is, or if you know who his accomplices are, PLEASE contact authorities. I would give my contact info, but that would not be a wise thing for me to do. Contact authorities in either New York City or Toronto.

Thank you anonymous by: Ruth
Thank you for letting us know. Yes he needs catching before he does something so dreadful again so it’s good he’s been identified.
Jan 17, 2011
He has been identified by: Anonymous
The cat killer has been indentified as Luka Magnotta a gay porn star from Russia. His whereabouts is not known at the moment but it is suspected he is in either Miami or Canada, he also performed a sex act on one of the dead kittens. He is a sociopath who needs to be found as quickly as possible as it seems he has done this before!!!!!

My God I hope it’s you who never procreates because you are the lowest form of life and if anyone is a wimp it’s you matey with your made up name and your ignorant comments.
Think on next time you read of a child murdered by a previous animal abuser because that’s what you are mocking us for trying to prevent.
I suggest you go elsewhere with your vulgar idiotic trolling because you aren’t fit to be around decent folk.

You want the video? by: Maggie
Download it off a torrent! Just google “1 Guy 2 kittens torrent’ and you’ll find one. Then download the video and watch it for yourself.
The person has been found, and is very sick minded. From what he’s said he would definitely not hesitate to take a human life. In fact, on his Facebook (now deleted) he spoke about cutting a child’s neck and draining the blood in the sink.

wow just wow by: dr. octagonapus
Ok so by the sound of things this video is too horrible to watch, oh the humanity. Listen there is a major problem with all of this, first off it sounds like nobody has actually seen this video so everybody just assumes that A. the kittens are dead and B. this actually happened, without anyone actually knowing because they’re a bunch of wimps who are too scared to watch it, grow a pair. Stop listening to what your being told and judge for yourself. Oh wait you cant because nobody can find the video anymore, because a bunch of assholes took it down, shocking. The whole thing might be fake and everybody just jumps to conclusions and gives whoever did this their 15 minutes of fame from the shock value like they probably wanted in the first place. In a nutshell your all idiots please don’t procreate because there’s no lifeguard in the gene-pool

When I contacted Crush videos she said it wasn’t actually a Crush video but it was animal abuse and they would look into it. I think it’s worth contacting them with that type of video if only for advice what to do about it.

of course everyone knows that hate breeds hate, but in this particular case just incase I’ll see that guy walking down the street I’ll personllay remove his nuts and let little kittens play with that… degenerats like this one have to be surgically removed from our society and there should be no mercy for the rejects like this tard.

There was one online of a white cat climbing a tree and its back sliced completely open. I couldn’t watch more than a few seconds of it and I don’t have the link anymore. I do have my limits and that was it. It was horrible. Is there some place we can report these to when we get ahold of them?

Crush Video latest by: Ruth
These wonderful people got Crush videos banned and although this isn’t actually a crush video they are interested in it:
Me to them: THANK YOU. Michael PoC has written an article now and we are spreading it around in the hopes the boys will eventually be identified if they haven’t been already ! https://pictures-of-cats.org/warning-video-of-boy-killing-two-kittens.html 14 hours ago ·

Me neither by: Leah (England)
Sorry I couldn’t watch it either; like Michael I just wouldn’t be able to get the images out of my mind; this sort of image would interfere with my everyday thought process to the point where I wouldn’t be able to concentrate at work. (I know this from experience)
I hope with all my heart that these murderers (animal murderers now and murderers in the future) are caught and receive a fitting punishment.
The only thing is evil is inherent and these boys are most certainly evil. What next? Kidnapping and torturing small children? I would like to know what sort of background these boys have come from because these actions are so far away from normal behaviour.

It’s really digsuting and horrifying to know that, whether it is true or not, someone can think of doing something like that. What is wrong with people like this?

Michael by: Maggie
Michael, thanks for making this page, I was actually in the process of finding someone to write about it, but I wasn’t sure if you’d be able to watch the video.
However, I don’t think the video was made in Isreal, I could be wrong, but I think this just happens to be one of the last places where it’s been hosted.
Dec 22, 2010
Israel by: Michael
You are right, it is hosted by an Israeli website. It has been seen 21 million times according to the site but the whole thing is very odd indeed.
Dec 22, 2010
Hope he gets caught & punished by: Michele S.
Whether the video was real or a hoax, it’s still some sick individual behind it. I think that Il is the country code for Israel, so let’s hope that someone can identify the person and notify the police. I sincerely hope those responsible for this video get whats coming to them.
Dec 22, 2010
We can’t ignore it by: CJ
Maybe StopCrushvideos.org have had it removed?From what Ruth said it seemed they were looking into it. I think you did right to bring it to notice because it’s the only way to stop it. If we all ignored things like this incase it was fake then animal abusers would get away with it. Keep up the good work Michael,your site does a lot of good and you have a lot of fans.
Dec 22, 2010
Sorry by: Michael
Well I am sorry, now the link to the video doesn’t work either. This is a link that was provided by the company that hosts the video so I have no idea what is going on.
If someone can find out that would be great.

Video by: Michael
This video presented some weird problems. The embed code (code to allow people to present the video on their own websites) was provided but did not work. I fixed it so that it worked but it has now gone bad again several hours later. Accordingly, it cannot be shown on this site but can on the original site (see the link, please).
I now am not sure that this is a real video. There is something odd about it as it has disappeared from Facebook and this site.
Not sure about this..

Awful by: Barbara
I can’t watch it either knowing that the kittens will be killed and there’s nothing I can do to save them. I’ve already inadvertantly seen a picture of a dog abused in China this afternoon and it’s imprinted on my retinas. There surely must be more than one person involved to have made this video. I hope it’s true that the monsters have been turned in and I hope wherever they live they get even worse treatment from the general public than the woman in the UK who put the cat in the bin. A slap on the wrist isn’t going to stop this hoodie from a life of evil. The trouble is, these things need to be seen but it’s the ones who love animals and who would never hurt them that end up suffering by seeing them over and over. I despair for the youth of this world sometimes and then I think of Zach,so there IS still some hope.

So more than one boy was involved were they? I can’t watch but I can spread it around too but I pray they’ve been caught.

Latest on this by: Ruth
I’ve had this reply from Crush Video org
‘Stop Crush Videos : STOPcrush.org Its not a crush vid, but it is animal cruelty. Makes me sick actually. Next those boys will be doing the same with kids and women, and the elderly. Most boys dont sit around torturing animals in their living-room whilst playing Christmas songs. Serial killers do that. I had heard about this, I had also heard the boys were turned in. But I have no evidence of it. Will have to look through the internet for recent articles of arrest. ~ Marla’
I DO HOPE it’s true the boys were turned in !!!!

Too awful by: Rose
That picture is bad enouigh,I can’t watch the video.I’m sorry as like Ruth I usually force myself to but to see 2 little kittens deliberately made to suffer is too much. However I will pass it around,we must do that until it reaches someone who knows who that bacteria is.

Too Upset To Think of a Title by: Jo Singer
No words can express the shock and horror JUST alone from the title of the video. I could not watch this either.
But I am highly concerned about the website from which it was found. But it certainly doesn’t surprise me to see where it originated.
If this was a video that was published on a USA website, it would be far easier to have it removed. I wish there was some way to report it and have it taken down. It is beyond words.
Horrible!!
Dec 22, 2010
Very traumatic by: Ruth
It was actually Maggie who brought this horrific crime to my notice but like her I couldn’t bear to watch the video. I have to force myself to face such things and at present my morale is too low as the other day I watched one of animals in slaughterhouses being abused and that’s still in my mind a lot. I can well understand how it affects you so deeply Michael, horrors like this do traumatise those of us who love animals. But like you I couldn’t do nothing at all about it so thank you for writing this article as it may reach someone who can identify this low life scumbag. As I said to Maggie, I don’t feel I belong on this planet where monsters like that exist !
Dec 22, 2010
I can’t either by: Phil (London)
I can’t bring myself to watch this either, to be honest. They say imagination can be more powerful than reality, but in this case I’m going to stick to my imagination… and only hope that this is a hoax. If not, then I hope that someone is able somehow to track down these people through the site they have used to host this video.
I’m not religious, but the biblical quote, ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ just seems to make perfect sense to me at times like this.
