  1. There’s a huge problem on YouTube where other people stage rescues as well such as “saving” dogs on railroads in the middle if nowhere, multiple kittens stuck on a glue trap, and other unlikely scenarios where one person just claims they came across them as if it were fate, but it’s really them putting the animals in those situations.

  2. There are more and more of these fake videos and we're letting them influence us more and more 😬😪 and don't even notice it any more……….?????!!!!!

  3. I loved watching animal rescue videos because it made me have faith in humanity, now even videos with thin, starving animals i suspect 😢 i'm afraid they mistreated the animal for days just for the video

  4. There are thousands of staged animal “rescue “ videos . A lot are from a single account with hundreds of channels and they reuse same animals over and over mostly cats and some dogs. The ones i see are from other countries mostly asian i think india, Thailand and I’m not exactly sure if the others. The staging is so bad they I’m surprised more ppl do not realize that these animals are used for video purposes and are in some cases drugged to look like they were half dead and surprisingly ( without a vet) brought back to live and bleeding miraculously stopped. Sometimes i thing it’s taped backwards what i mean by that is animal is hurt and maybe discarded after staged video. It’s so badly acted out i can’t believe anyone would give them likes or subscribe and donate. That’s after all why they are using these animals for donations and surprisingly they do get it otherwise they wouldn’t be making 10-15 videos aDAY!! 😢

  5. I also wonder if how calm the cat is could be an indicator. I’d imagine a cat surviving off of the street wouldn’t be this tolerant of strangers, let alone ones bathing them, cutting their nails, and “cutting” their fur… Most cats I’ve ever met won’t even tolerate that from their favorite human, let alone a total stranger!!

  6. Thank you for this! I noticed, most of the rescue vids are staged. Worst for me was the puppy painted in blue. Obviously staged and fake. I hope YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and other platforms and its users are proactive in reporting and deleting these vids permanently. It's so sad, people are doing these to poor creatures to make content and make money from it. Simply disgusting.

  7. Ugh I absolutely hate this channel. There are videos of boys and girls with fake matted hair as well. They do a fake glow up and then 'donate' that hair to actually bold children. Maybe with alopecia or actual cancer. Im so sick of these channels. And the most annoying thing is that people actually believe it while it's so fake
