Our new investigation exposes the shocking scale of a worrying new craze on YouTube – the rise of videos depicting fake animal rescues.
In these videos, an animal, such as a monkey, dog, or reptile, is filmed to be the ‘prey’ and is set upon by a large ‘predator’, such as a snake or crocodile.
The videos show scenes such as a panicked monkey being trapped in the grip of a reticulated python, as they desperately try to break free. In these clips, you can hear the terrified cries of the animals. While the ‘prey’ animals are eventually ‘rescued’, they face visible distress and trauma, and shouldn’t have been in such a terrifying situation in the first place. This cruelty is set up and inflicted just for entertainment.
World Animal Protection is urging YouTube to fulfill its public pledge made in March 2021 and act quickly to review and remove videos that depict this type of horrific animal abuse.
The longer these types of clips stay online, the more people view them and the greater the risk they will spawn copycats elsewhere.
YouTube must step up its responsibility and publicly share its plans to proactively prevent this type of cruel content from being uploaded in the first place.

There's alot of animal abuse videos on youtube and people like the videos people are dumb.
So, name some names!
I am trying to find someone who can report animal abuse. There is a YouTube channel called: BB Chef (FOOD and FARM) who are posting recently of a man abusing white kittens. The last one I reported to YouTube he was holding a kitten by it's arms and put it down and took a swat at it. That was removed. If you can find out who they are please report them to their local authorities! Thank you!

Yea I saw what these were when half to 2/3s of the video was a close up of the "rescuers" face and they were involved in more "rescues" per month than what I've encountered in 30 years. They just crave attention.
YouTube get your priorities in order. People get hits from this and making money make you complicit in this and equally abhorrent. How dare you allow this!!!
YouTube you need to step up and stop allowing these awful videos being posted on your platform. Quick on copyrighting music etc but not animal welfare 🤔
This is heartbreaking. How can I help?
