Magnotta is alleged to be the person behind a series of videos of animal cruelty involving cats which were posted to YouTube beginning in 2010, including one titled 1 boy 2 kittens which showed a man deliberately suffocating two kittens with a vacuum cleaner.[108] In January 2011, a private Facebook group identified Magnotta as the person in these videos;[109] animal rights activist groups subsequently offered a $5,000 reward for bringing him to justice.[13] He was initially dubbed the "Vacuum Kitten Killer" by the online animal activists.[110] In February 2011, Toronto police began investigating Magnotta in connection with the videos after receiving a complaint from the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.[111] The OSPCA also contacted the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in England, the FBI, and police in Montreal due to the suspect's extensive travels.[111]
