June 8, 2023. The Jack La Tiao cat torture gang broadcast the torture live on Telegram, which lasted for three hours. In this livestream, Li claimed to prick more than 160 steel needles in the body of a tuxedo kitten, alive.

In another livestream, Li was observed wearing attire associated with Japanese military during World War II and engaging in acts of cruelty towards cats, utilizing a Japanese bayonet for torture. He has expressed support for the Nanking Massacre, referring to it as an act of justice. Additionally, he often portrays himself as a Japanese invader from the WWII. Li's online aliases frequently reference individuals involved in the Nanking Massacre, such as "Mukai" which alludes to Toshiaki Mukai, one of the Japanese Army officers infamous for initiating the "hundred man killing contest"** during the invasion of China in WWII. He harbors an unexplained and intense animosity towards cats, his native country China, and its people.

July 5, 2023. At 8 pm, another livestream. Li was preparing to torture a small orange cat. Upon witnessing this, a significant number of netizens promptly reported the incident to the police. Law enforcement intervened, the live broadcast was abruptly halted. Unfortunately, it appeared that the authorities did not rescue the helpless kitten, possibly due to the close relationship ("Guanxi") between Li's father and the local police.

Li's father, Li Hongguang, who holds a position within the Communist Party of the Weishi County Industrial and Commercial Bureau in Kaifeng, has been implicated in shielding his 17-year-old son, Li Zhiyang. Li Zhiyang stands accused of various offenses, including animal abuse, spreading violent content, intimidating animal volunteers, and engaging in activities that disparage China. Li Hongguang, along with the Weishi County Police Station, is alleged to have provided protection for his son in these matters.

During interactions with Chinese volunteers, Li Hongguang, a public servant, used vulgar language to insult a young female volunteer. Consequently, the Chinese volunteers suspect that Li Hongguang's influence is the reason behind the Weishi County Police Station's failure to provide information to volunteers regarding the fate of the kitten, whether it was rescued or killed.

October 12, 2023. Many netizens received a message from Li, in which he disclosed that two cats were trapped in a cage. He then proceeded to catch two additional cats with the intention of killing them. This action by Li is perceived as a deliberate provocation.
