Social media giant Facebook may have a “no nipple” policy, but the site has no protection as far as sick videos shoing puppies being blowtorched to death are concerned. The vile video, shared around 70,000 times, was reported to the site by accountant Nick Parkes, aged 46.

He initially complained to the person who posted the video, Sheylah Hernandez. When she refused to take it down, he made an official complaint, stating that the material was offensive. Instead of taking down the video, Facebook told Parkes that the video did not violate the terms and conditions of the site or breach their own “Community Standards” guidelines on what can and cannot be posted online even though Facebook claims to be against animal cruelty.

The offensive 1-minute clip showed a young woman blowtorching a helpless puppy to death whileits legs are bound. The videoemerged after a viral video of a woman flinging a newborn around the head was removed by Facebook following pressure from children’s charities.
