Crush video
See also: Crush fetish

In 2006 an Internet crush video surfaced in which a woman stomps on a kitten with stiletto high-heels. Eventually the woman drives her heel into the kitten's eye and penetrates the eye socket, leading to loss of blood and the death of the kitten.[3] Internet users discovered and revealed the identity of the woman as Wang-Jue (simplified Chinese: 王 珏; traditional Chinese: 王 玨; pinyin: Wáng-Jué), a Chinese nurse, and revealed that the cameraman is a provincial television employee. Wang-Jue posted an apology on the Luobei city government official website, claiming that she was susceptible to persuasion to crush the kitten, being despondent from her recent divorce.[4] Both Wang-Jue and the cameraman lost their jobs as a result of the incident, although their actions were not illegal under Chinese animal cruelty laws.[5]
