Watch out for fake animal rescue videos - Catherine - 08-08-2023
Fake animal rescue videos are a scam to make money. It is important that we learn to spot the fakes.
Usually the animal being rescued is a cute puppy in an unlikely, very dangerous situation. You will then see the same puppy in another rescue situation at a latter date. It is important to not watch the video or share it. Anything that helps them just encourages them to keep making these videos.

There have been times when I am suspicious about a video or picture. In one case the picture was from a legitimate article a year before.
There will always be people with money making schemes. It is just very sad that there are people willing to put animals at risk with their schemes.
