There was one where they claimed to rescue a puppy trapped in something like a net but the video starts of them just casually walking then supposedly only just finding the puppy trapped and they get it free from the net but the thumbnail on the video was the dog trapped in a position that wasn't in the video so obviously they put it there trapped, took a picture of it for the thumbnail then started the video pretending they'd only just found it. Not only are they disturbed, they're dumb as well.

And just like that, my world gets just a little bit darker.

I've found one bird that couldn't fly when I was a kid. Yes these people find animals in need every day(depending on upload schedule).
It all boils down back to human greed. Let's make them suffer for that sweet ad revenue. Fucking pathetic.

It is rather difficult to decide what is and what is not a fake rescue. There have to be certain strong indicators. Like a clear storyline, focussing on the suffering animal rather than the direct rescue, dramatized music and camera angles. It can not just be guesswork, or true rescue channels would take a hit too.

These fake videos are always where they "suddenly discover" abandoned or hurt animals/puppies/kittens in a shallow well, or in an abandoned house, or alone on a small river island. These are just click baiters... I went out of my way to expose their fakery in the comments and report each video. In some the rope holding each puppy to a wooden box was clearly visible.
If you see these animal abusers please take a few minutes to report them to YouTube.

This is just scratching the surface of the fake wholesome horror industry that seems to be proliferating. It’s become a massive and disturbing problem here according to the local aspca. The worst part is it takes so much away from the people doing real rescues and the animals who need rescue.

What YouTube doesn’t allow to be monetized on their service:
-Videos critical of the American Democratic Party -Videos of smaller content creators calling out unjust strikes/favoritism with more popular channels. -Videos promoting discussions against points of the Mainstream Media.
What YouTube monetizes instead:
-Animal abuse -Content farms -Pedophile apologists -Creators who abuse the copyright system for profit -Videos critical of the American Republican Party
But hey, I guess since they gave us a few cat videos back in 2004 it’s all fine and dandy.

Usually a lot of the rescue videos are filmed like the camera attached to the head while do something else. The fake videos are filmed like a movie. And the people are literally doing nothing until they find the animal.
