If you ever harassed her, made a ‘callout’ post about her, or contributed to either…

You have blood on your hands.

[endlessartificer]

Well, I hope that the person who made a callout post for the SaveAFox director on Tumblr is happy

I hope you know you're fucking evil and you get what's coming to you

I know I said this on many other posts

news of mikayla raines's death is hitting me hard, as a person who likes foxes (no duh) . I try to push people to avoid "cute" animal videos that are of dubious or possibly manipulated and abusive origin, so she/her organization as a credible source of nice content about foxes in healthy happy conditions was, you know, nice.

the thing that strikes me is that no matter what complaint or critique you may have about the organization's methods, or finances, or whatever, surely you have to admit those animals are better off than they were in fur farming? you can fucking SEE that they are in the videos, can't you?

you know, i'm not a wildlife vet but i can see that an animal running and playing is happier than one shivering in a cage in a factory farm.

but people's little complaints were enough to harass her into this? harass HER, not the people she was rescuing foxes from (not, ftr, that they should be harassed either)??

and of course it's a woman they did this to, too. a woman too passionate about her cause always has to get pathologized and punished. fucking horrible.

rest in peace.

I'm sorry but wishing people get doxxed for criticizing the animal husbandry of a public figure is insane. You realize you aren't morally superior, yeah? People weren't going to try to get her shut down because they hated her, they were doing that because she was refusing to engage with good-faith criticisms from qualified institutions and individuals, and getting the sanctuary shut down does not mean kill her. Meanwhile, doxxing is a *very* real threat to someone's life. I get you're upset but jumping to terrorizing people and potentially exposing to real life harassment is not appropriate.

Come off anon and say this shit lmao

you coward

Harassing someone until they kill themselves and then being more upset about the backlash to your behavior than the fact that a human being is now dead

Says a LOT more about you than it does about me

You don't get to do this kinda shit and remain anonymous lol

FAFO

Finding out about the suicide of Save-a-Fox founder Mikayla Raynes yesterday has made me sad beyond words.

Further discovering that she was pretty much bullied into suicide by armchair "animal experts" that wouldn't know what abuse was if it bit them in the asshole, has pissed me the fuck off.

Like, have you idiots ever BEEN to an animal hoarder's house? Did you even watch the videos on her youtube channel? If you did, did you ever notice how CLEAN the whole complex was? 99% of animal hoarder houses look like a fucking trash pile, you know, just like a regular hoarder.

Her animals seemed like they were very well cared for. If that wasn't evidence enough, there was also the numerous vet videos that she posted that also showed that she cared for them. Heck, she paid for a vet to COME TO THE FACILITY to administer their vaccinations and flea meds. Animal hoarders DO NOT DO THIS! Watch ANY video of a team cleaning out a hoarder's house and you will see some pretty horrid shit.

I am just so sick of this shit. Every time I click on a funny cat video on reddit, I only have to scroll once before finding a "This animal is being abused post." The "Abuse" in question being a cat getting its nails trimmed, or being puppeted for a dance, or some other perceived harm that's just an innocent action. Seeing someone being bullied to suicide over similar accusations just makes me want to puke.

The world has one less wonderful person that GENUINELY cared about animals because of you dickheads. I hope you're fucking happy.

I can only hope Ethan can continue with her work in her stead. Oh by the way, if you're wishing for the sanctuary's closure, you do realize that if they can't find homes for the animals they'll likely be euthanized, right? Animals that Mikayla loved. Animals that got to live out the rest of their lives in a large yard, and not just a shitty fur farm pen. Animals that were spared the horrible fate of getting electrocuted and pelted.

If you're that concerned with animal welfare, then get a goddamn job at your local ASPCA for fuck's sake. Do actual work instead of speculating about bullshit.

I'm rambling at this point. I just had to get this off my chest because of how much it upset me.

To Mikyala and all of the other wonderful people on the internet that ACTUALLY do the work to help animals, thank you for your hard work.

To the armchair "animal experts" that act like they are "Helping" by perceiving every animal video on the internet as "abuse"? Go choke on a bag of rotten dicks.

So everyone is aware. Save a Fox founder Mikayla Raines, has died at age 29

She took her own life due to online harassment

This is one of the people who helped to contribute to her death through a snark Reddit they created online. THIS behavior should NOT be allowed on this website. So everyone is aware of this person in case you are a mutual or know them. They are a very bad person and cause the death of someone who was trying to save animals from fur farms. Here are some of the Reddit posts

[perfectworx]

Christ on a cracker, no one seems to be able to act normal about this SaveAFox shit. I remember even back a couple years ago, I'd heard some criticisms of how she handled things, simply agreed "Yeah that sounds a bit concerning, I won't be watching her stuff," and then moved on, maybe on occasion gave friends a heads up if they posted her stuff, but otherwise, just... moving on.

I remember getting agitated when what started as very mild criticisms started to evolve into post after post into dedicated tag for her into Google Doc Callout Post™ and just feeling deeply annoyed by this being a constant cycle, and unfollowed some folks because of it. People who remember my old blog probably remember my post talking about people on Animalblr (? is that the word) I found annoying, this was part of why.

And in a way, it's a bit... cathartic? That may not be the right word for it. The irony of it all, is that the people who were most vocal about this, I could say the same thing for them that I would've said about Mikayla, which is that they were well-intended (caring about animal welfare and having real concerns) but still irresponsible (documenting literally every thing the woman did in dedicated tags; this was bound to attract bad faith actors and concern trolls!)

I honestly hadn't thought about Mikayla for a long time until this happened today, because, again, my response was simply "Well I won't watch those videos" then moving on. I didn't keep a dedicated tag to documenting everything she did. Hearing the news was honestly devastating, because I don't care what a person did, they don't deserve to die. I never even thought of Mikayla as a bad person, just well-intended but irresponsible, even if she were a "bad person" I wouldn't think she deserved to die.

So, fuck you if you sincerely consider this a "win," if you have no regrets about anything you did. I personally now have regrets trusting the word of some of these individuals, seeing as it has now escalated to this point. And sure, Ethan said it was because of people she knew and other sanctuaries, but let's not pretend rumors don't spread. I remember when I saw the doc in particular, I was disgusted that her having an OnlyFans even came up, it just ruined the credibility of the entire doc, no matter what legitimate concerns you may have had about Mikayla's animal welfare, because her having an OF... has nothing to do with her welfare! But that being information other sanctuaries could've found out about could've still ruined her credibility with them regardless, since, y'know, people fucking hate women who have a sexuality?

I will also say, I do think some of her defenders are going way too far, and I do not approve of this. I think it's kinda ridiculous to accuse every single person who's ever mildly criticized her, especially if it was years ago, and/or came from a person who's been inactive on Tumblr for half a year, of being "murderers." I've seen people hurling slurs (mostly the R-slur), being transphobic (because Owlvid in particular is trans), making threats about doxxing people and/or raping them and their family members... what the hell is wrong with you? There is no childish "But they did it first-" here, you are engaging in the exact kind of behavior that lead to Mikayla's death, and that's disgusting, what we're learning from this shouldn't be "Let's keep up this cycle of vengeance!" or "Let's document everything someone we don't like does!" No, do not entertain the idea of the "callout post." That's how we get here in the first place. Block. Move on. Curate. That's what the people who didn't like her content should've done, too.

May Mikayla rest in peace, my heart goes out to her family, I hope Ethan can get the funds that he needs in order to take care of his daughter, and I hope the animals can, at least, be rehomed to other sanctuaries, should Ethan not receive proper funding.

There's been a lot of recent events making me rethink how quickly I and others jump the gun when it comes to animal welfare concerns, and this is one of them.
