Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) – A couple in Winnipeg is accused of causing untold suffering to numerous kittens, cats, and rabbits to create crush videos. For those unfamiliar with this type of sickening “entertainment,” crush videos involve the creation of graphic content meant to cater to sick people with a fetish for watching animals die slow, agonizing deaths.
According to the Winnipeg Police Service, Chad Kabecz, 40, and Irene Lima, 55, are responsible for the creation of crush videos that were posted to the dark web on their Goddess May Barefoot Premium Crush website.
As reported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the prosecutor claims the two made videos of animals, specifically cats and kittens, being crushed by Lima’s feet.
Attorney Sean Sass explains the depraved nature of the killings: “These are not quick kills. As the time stamps seem to indicate, some of these videos are five minutes long. They’re staged, premeditated torturing that results in the death of very vulnerable animals.”
A tipster was able to find the crush videos through Reddit and obtained screenshots of the disturbing footage. Sass said the website’s home page featured “an extremely graphic image that appears to be of a bare foot on top of some animal,” adding, “It’s unrecognizable.”
Kabecz claims Lima gets sexual pleasure from crushing the innocent animals. He allegedly wrote, “She crushes barefoot because that’s what she enjoys, as it brings her extreme satisfaction even to the point of orgasm without being touched. She’s one in a million.”
When police searched the couple’s home, they found evidence of animal cruelty, including 10 dead cats and a deceased rabbit.
Kabecz and Lima are charged with:
There is evil, and there is sickness—and Chad Kabecz and Irene Lima surpass both. We urgently need your signature and support to ensure they are held fully accountable for the horrific torture and suffering they inflicted on innocent kittens, cats, and rabbits. These heinous crimes cannot go unpunished. Together, we will fight for a conviction and demand the maximum sentence.
WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS:
We, the undersigned, demand justice for the innocent lives stolen by Chad Kabecz and Irene Lima. These individuals are responsible for inflicting unimaginable suffering on innocent animals who were slowly tortured to death to make revolting crush videos for sex and money. Chad Kabecz and Irene Lima need to face serious consequences.
Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.

Update January 2025: In late December, provincial court Judge Kusham Sharma denied bail for Irene Lima. According to CBC news, “During arguments in her bail hearing, Lima often looked down at the floor and at times rubbed her forehead as details of the allegations against her were read out in court. Three of her family members also sat in the gallery throughout the hearing. Police have previously said that from May 20 to Oct. 7, 2024, more than 75 animals were filmed or photographed being tortured and killed, and that there was also a sexual component to the offence in some cases.”
Update 12/2/2024: Investigators allege Chad Kabecz and Irene Lima also discussed inflicting harm on a child. Const. Stephen Spencer said, “Investigators also discovered communications where Lima and Kabecz discussed their intention to torture a child. There was also a sexual component to this offence.” Bestiality charges have been added to the duo’s laundry list of animal cruelty charges, and the investigation has expanded internationally. Lima has been charged with additional crimes, including six counts each of killing or injuring animals and causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, four counts of bestiality and single counts of accessing child pornography; making, printing, publishing or possessing child pornography for the purpose of publication; conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.

He was granted bail last month but was taken back into custody Tuesday. Kabecz appeared briefly in bail court by video on Wednesday. Lima remains in custod,y and her case was adjourned to Dec. 6.
