Artemis Archive:记录动物虐待行为，呼唤动保意识与行动
欢迎来到 Artemis Archive！本着阿耳忒弥斯的精神，荒野的守护者和无声者的保护者，本档案库的存在是为了铭记残酷行为试图抹去的一切。正如阿克泰翁无法逃脱女神的注视，那些伤害无辜者的人将不会隐匿无踪。Artemis Archive 作为一个沉默的提醒而存在：残酷会留下痕迹，真相不会被埋葬，而正义始于铭记。
本档案库不仅作为记录存在，而且作为对良知的呼唤。发声即是保护。铭记即是反抗。
当残酷侵袭无力自卫者时
动物虐待行为——无论是为了娱乐、盈利，还是网络关注——都构成了对生命神圣性的严重侵犯。用武器伤害动物、非法设置动物陷阱、毒害动物、为了娱乐而在网上分享虐待内容，或遗弃宠物，不仅是对社会伦理的违背，而且还可能违反法律法规。
伤害无力自卫动物的意愿不仅仅是残忍——这是一个人的品格和价值观中深刻的腐朽的体现。施虐者缺乏同理心、责任感和基本的社会伦理。在施虐者之间分享虐待内容以及针对动物福利倡导者进行网络骚扰，进一步表明了对社会规范的漠视。必须认识到，动物虐待不仅伤害无辜生命，而且腐蚀着社会的道德根基。[1]社会必须加强执法、改进相关立法并推动公众教育，以提高对动物保护的意识——从而营造一个尊重生命、充满同情心的环境。
我们为何揭露动物虐待者
动物虐待者常常躲在匿名背后，无论是在线上还是线下。这种隐藏不仅使他们逃避了即时后果，而且助长了他们继续他们的残忍行为而不惧被识别。匿名的面纱助长了一种文化，在这种文化中，施虐者感到自己无法被触及，从而使针对无力自卫的动物的暴力循环得以持续。
此外，动物虐待是一个公认的临床指标，表明更广泛的暴力倾向。[2]研究表明，伤害动物的个体显著更有可能对人类实施暴力犯罪——包括家庭暴力、袭击，甚至杀人。[3][4]美国联邦调查局（FBI）承认动物虐待是人际暴力的预测因素，并指出伤害动物的罪犯对家庭成员施虐的风险更高，且早期报告动物虐待对于防止暴力升级至人类受害者至关重要。[5]从心理上看，从伤害动物中获得快感的人通常表现出冷酷无情，缺乏同理心，并对痛苦变得麻木，这破坏了社会凝聚力和社区安全。[6]另外，目睹动物暴力——尤其是对儿童而言——可能导致创伤，使攻击性正常化，并导致心理健康问题，如创伤后应激障碍（PTSD），以及对人施暴倾向的增加。[7]
Exposing the identities of these individuals is crucial. Public documentation and identification serve as a deterrent, signaling that such behavior will not be tolerated and that perpetrators will be held accountable. Moreover, revealing their identities can aid in legal proceedings, as authorities often rely on public information to initiate investigations.
Furthermore, public awareness of an individual’s abusive actions can lead to community-driven consequences, such as social ostracism, loss of employment, educational opportunities, travel and visa restrictions, housing limitations, and even barriers to various social activities, such as adopting animals or entering zoos — reinforcing the message that animal cruelty is unacceptable. By documenting and sharing verified information about abusers, society can collectively work toward a culture of accountability and compassion.
In conclusion, while anonymity may offer temporary protection to animal abusers, exposing their identities is a powerful tool in the fight against animal cruelty. It not only facilitates legal action but also serves as a societal check against inhumane behavior, promoting a safer environment for all living beings.
