Fake rescue content on social media put animals at huge risk: Report
The Daily Guardian
|October 11, 2024
Fake animal rescue content on social media is putting animals in grave danger, stated a recent report by Asia for Animals (AfA) Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition (SMACC) that uncovered over 1,000 links to fake rescue content across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tik Tok, and Twitter/X in just six weeks.
-
The report 'Spot the Scam: Unmasking Fake Animal Rescues' documented the dangerous phenomenon of "fake animal rescue" content on social media.
Fake rescue content features animals who have been harmed or placed in dangerous situations specifically so that the content creator can appear to rescue the animal from that situation to generate revenue from "likes" and "shares", as well as from direct donations from the viewer, the report said.
