A Pennsylvania woman has been charged after streaming fake cooking shows on YouTube in which she tortured rabbits, birds and frogs to death.
Anigar Monsee, 27, answered her audience’s sexually explicit questions as she killed, gutted and skinned live animals online – while encouraging subscribers to like the videos, police allege.
In a sickening 49-minute clip, she tortured a pigeon before cutting off its head, as her viewers flooded her with more requests to abuse animals. In another instance, she breaks the neck of a live chicken before plucking out all the feathers.
She posted the obscene content under the guise of cooking videos, but police say Monsee abused the animals far beyond what is necessary to prepare a meal.
On January 17, she uploaded a video called “Cooking Lucky,” in which she tortured a chicken for ten minutes, stepped on it and slit its throat with a dull knife.

The video received 2,300 views and 28 comments. Most encouraged her behavior.
In other videos uploaded to her YouTube channel – which has 20,000 subscribers – Monsee was seen abusing the animals before scalding them with hot water and disemboweling the creatures.
Monsee is charged with four counts of aggravated animal cruelty. Upper Darby Police Chief Inspector Tim Bernhardt described the case as “disturbing and barbaric.”
She remained in custody on a $20,000 bond and will appear in court for a preliminary hearing on February 5.
Despite her arrest, her sickening YouTube account is still active. Viewers can still play the regrettable videos – which show her smiling and laughing during the acts.
Bernhardt said: ‘Even more disturbing is that there are people who are amused by this and there is a platform that allows this.
“It takes a cold, heartless person to harm the animals. But we never would have known about this, this would never have come across our desk if it weren’t for the people out there who saw it and notified us.”

An affidavit filed Friday before her arrest said it was PETA that first alerted police and tracked her location.
She was interviewed by police, where she admitted that the videos were hers. She reportedly became ‘visibly upset’ when officers played a video of her abusing a rabbit.
Kristin Rickman, PETA’s emergency response team director, told the Philadelphia Inquirer of the police: “They have done a tremendous job and they fully understand how harmful this content is, not only to the animals suffering indescribable pain and torture, but in front of the heads of the people watching.
“Most people who come across this would probably be traumatized by this content, but others will seek it out.”
“This type of activity is so deplorable and so harmful that anyone engaging in it must be found and held accountable.”
