I know one of my friends posted about this on his live journal and it sparked something inside of me, I couldn't just let this go by without more people being aware of it. Sorry if it is disturbing. I left out the graphic images.
this woman and people like her should be given the same fate that they put the helpless victims threw. I hope one day she and people like them get a stilleto their their head and crushed.
Unfortunately there are no laws in other countries that recognize this as a criminal act and I do hope people become more aware of this situation that is so horrible to many creatures.
So if you are interested in reading about this, please read below. I got the first one from Wikipedia, and the second one is from chinadaily website.
Kitten killer of Hangzhou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A Chinese woman, identified as Wang Jue, a 37-year-old nurse in the Luobei People’s Hospital, who crushed a kitten with a stiletto shoe, dubbed as the kitten killer of Hangzhou by the media, featured on a video which spread on the internet in early 2006. The video created a huge outrage among animal rights activists and people in both China and around the world.
In the video, the woman gently caresses the kitten, then puts it down on the ground and then stomps and impales it with the sole and stiletto of the shoe. As she does this, the cat lets out several muted meows. Eventually, she manages to knock the cat's left eyeball out of its socket, and later steps on the cat's face, causing its brains to leak out. She then attempts several times to squash the eyeball.
The location where the video was shot was identified to be somewhere in Hangzhou. The video was shot in the summer of 2005.

Reactions
The Chinese media launched a successful hunt for the woman. The woman was tracked down to a small town called Hegang, located in Heilongjiang province in northern China. The producer was indentified as Li Yuejun, a cameraman working for Luobei Television. Although he is a cameraman, he stated in his apology which was posted on the website of the district, that he was not behind the camera. According to Li, a person living in Jilin province offered him to produce the video.
The video created an uproar throughout China, and as a result the website was closed and Wang Jue, a nurse from northeast China's Heilongjiang province, was tracked down and fired from her job.
While issuing her apology, Wang also said she had been persuaded into performing the bizarre act at a time, following a divorce, when she had trouble finding out what to do with her life, the paper said.
The incident has shown the lack of animal welfare laws in China, which has led to demands for such laws to be made.
Conicidentally, in January 2006, PETA had released a two minute PSA on the Internet showing domesticated animals being sold at an animal market in China. Many of the animals in the video were cats and dogs often too large to fit into the cages. Some of the animals were wearing collars or name tags suggesting that they may have been kidnapped or abandoned. Many of the animals showed signs of injury, abuse, or were already dead. The video even showed animals being skinned alive, butchered, or killed. While many people have dismissed the video as another one of PETA's wanton propoganda devices featuring a paid celebrity endorsement (used as an appeal to authority), incidents such as the Kitten Killer of Hangzhou provide credible evidence to support China's lax punishment for animal cruelty but does not support PETA's original argument.
Who is the glamorous kitten killer of Hangzhou

China's media have launched a nationwide hunt for a glamorously dressed woman who has been photographed apparently crushing a kitten to death with her stiletto heels.
Gruesome pictures, which first appeared on a website, have been reproduced in recent days in many newspapers. In the first picture, the woman, wearing a cocktail dress with a leopard-print top and black skirt, caresses a tortoiseshell kitten lovingly. Then she puts it on the ground, looks at it - and lowers a stiletto heel on to its head.

The subsequent images are graphic and deeply disturbing. The last photograph shows the woman staring into the distance with a questioning look on her face.
Reporters and amateur sleuths are now trying to find the woman, while media outlets have been flooded with readers' suggestions of what should be done to her.
The location for the sequence has been identified from a stretch of water in the background as being Hangzhou, a picturesque city south-west of Shanghai. A trace on the original website also led there, and the mystery woman has been dubbed "the kitten killer of Hangzhou".
Some newspapers then came up with a new twist - linking the pictures to an international community of animal sadists and fetishists. One website said the sequence was well-known in Japan, where it started life as an advertisement for a brand of stiletto shoes, and identified the woman as a model.
But attention returned to China when an internet surfer came across a 37-year-old woman from Hubei province with the internet identity "Gainmas". She had registered a website in Hangzhou and - the ultimate evidence - had bought a pair of stilettoes on eBay last year.
She was also registered with QQ, a popular Chinese message service, where she wrote of herself: "I furiously crush everything to do with you and me."
Before her QQ address went dead, its owner had several conversations. In one, she is coy, saying "So what?" when asked if the pictures are of her, and then, when asked again, replying: "In theory."
When confronted by a reporter, she became defensive, saying: "Suddenly hundreds of people are on my QQ and cursing me. What's the problem if I crush cats? It's a type of experience. You wouldn't understand."
He Yong, a Beijing representative of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said the angry response to the pictures had been heartening.
"We are still trying to confirm who it is in the pictures and where it is," he said. "The embarrassing thing is that there are no available laws in China governing this type of misbehaviour.
"We are trying to draft an open letter to the authorities asking for the possibility of creating an animal welfare law."
As you see above people without heart should not be given a place anywhere before life, during life and after life. If you are like one of these people, then I feel so much anger towards you for the inhuman way, so much sorrow towards you to make me wonder just how you have become that way and what events in your life made you become an animal killer to a defenseless little kitten.
