Yup this is 100% the most fucked up topic you've covered. I hope Mini gets rehabilitated.

This was so hard to listen to, and I'm shaking with rage that our laws are so consumed with protecting the ag industry at the expense of showing humanity to animals. 💔 Idk how you do it but thank you for doing the hard work to bring awareness to the rest of us.

Sara N.

Things like this bring out the sadist in me, because I start wishing that the people doing this get tortured in the same fucked up ways. That saying two wrongs don't make a right comes to mine. I guess what I really wish for is better mental health solutions to fix what has gone serious wrong in their heads.

On a brighter note, I hope you had a great victory lap around the room!

Off topic but I'm going nuts trying to find the RSS feed on here (Patreon) for the three podcasts I support, as Google Podcasts is ending and moving over to YouTube. Android user. Tried viewing RSS in Google Podcasts but just get the whole XML code. Tried copying the RSS from that code but that didn't work. Searched every menu in my memberships and nothing. Help. Please 🙏

Amanda Peters

There's a similar trend with snakes on YouTube, not quite to the abuse level of these poor monkeys, but they "save' boa's, puppy's and kittens from awful situations, but when you look closely the and snake has been down a drain, in the swamp, an engine bay a toilet etc it's awful.

Alan

Of all the youtube rabbit holes to go down...

Cristi Hyndman

I am glad minnie is in a sanctuary now. I cried during this story. So fucked up.

Hope you're taking care of yourself, ACC. Getting deep into topics like this can't be easy.

This is the first episode I ever DNF. I can't stomach it. Please tell me something has been done about this.

I've done all that and contacted Patreon. It's not there. I'll message you on Twitter. Thanks for the reply.

Colin Burke

This episode just gets worse as it goes I’m 10 mins in and I’m not sure I’m gonna finish. Why are so many people so gross

Pardina Samson-fessale

I hope in your every day life you are surrounded by peace and beauty and joy, ACC. Having to create such distressing content can take a toll on anyone.

Amie Redman

I am going to try to listen, but as a rescue pet mom of many truly beloved babies, not sure if I can. ACC, you are a bright light in this dark universe keeping us all informed of the evils of our world.

Amie Redman

Bless you, little one. I hope you heal and enjoy the rest of your life in pure bliss.. humans can be so cruel!!

Jane Thomson

I’m two minutes in and feel ill.

I had to stop as I knew I wouldn’t be able to concentrate at work this afternoon.

Katelyn Muniz

Gonna go ahead and skip this one. Take care everyone ❤️

Haydn

Horrifying listen, especially learning about the depths of the topic. Had seen videos on YT covering 'monkey hate' videos, and ones about fake animal rescue channels, but the levels of depravity just under the surface is awful. One of the things sticking with me from this is how some of the perpetrators of this mentioned towards the end are mostly just ordinary people, I think after a season where a lot of the topics came from collective corporations or from systemic failures encouraged by greed, it's a harrowing reminder that it's not just faceless corporations who can partake in acts of absolute cruelty. As others have said, I hope you take some time to recover from the awful of this one.

Atu Phoenix

This is the worst one. Greed is awful but norm…. but this….it doesn't make any sense. I'm not normally a death penalty guy but….

Amanda Heal

I appreciate the warning, gonna go ahead and skip this one. See y'all in the next one.

Calvin joiner

This is the only episode of Swindled I’ve had trouble getting through

Danisa Arias

I recall the very brief news clip on this and was thoroughly confused. Now I see why they didn’t go into it further. I had to pause a few times before finishing this one

Nae
>>126746798

Station Nightclub and the sky walk did it for me but we’ll see how this is

Nae

Ah a double warning. Then we know it will be rough. Only ever remember hearing those for SA, previously

Sam

Brutal episodes back to back. So important! But also owwie

Laura McBee

Made it 2:18 in. Absolutely not.

Stella

Yeesh. That was a rough listen. i hope you're taking good care of yourself. Your job is not easy, but this episode must have taken it's toll. Also was not expecting a shitpot little town like Prineville to get mentioned in any podcast I ever listened to. I've never particularly liked anyone I've met from there, but I didn't think a town like that could harbor evil like this.

Anastasia Martin

So incredibly sad. Why are things like this possible? Desperation meets extreme dysfunction. I'm so disgusted.

Corine O’Neill

My boyfriend refused to listen, this was intense and I’m pretty sure I will be haunted by this one for a while. You’ve covered some pretty horrific stories of human suffering, but there’s just something deeply insidious about animal torture that hurts to the core. Things like this are why I’m both encouraged and terrified to enter the mental health profession; how can we make sense of this level of depravity? Take care of yourself friend 💙

Cas Thibeau

This was disgusting. I couldn’t ever imagine hurting an animal like this. These poor creatures. I hope these people suffer horrible ends honestly. They deserve the worst. Thank you for the awareness around this issue. I had no idea 😔😭

KarinaGeeBee

Thank you so much for covering this. I work in a group that exposes animal abuse so I knew it would be stomach-turning/enraging. I hope it prompts listeners to view “animal rescue” videos that flood social media with skepticism as many of those are bogus.

Stefanie Noble

That was rough. This one is gonna stick with me for awhile. This couldn't have been easy to research. Thank you for what you do!

Bunny

But why? I don't understand this. I really don't like rats and mice but I don't want to see them tortured. I just don't want to see them at all. I don't get it.

Kaitlin

The subject of torture, human or animal, is just one of those things I can't listen to but I appreciate you bringing this topic for awareness. Thank you for all your hard work to keep us informed! I hope you did something therapeutic and mind soothing after this one.

Jeff Henry

Alright, bring on the climate disasters. Time to wind down this whole humanity thing.

Andrea Johnson

Good (bad?) to know my instincts were correct about some of these animal "rescue" videos. I report them to YT when they seem off but I don't think they've ever done shit.

Shannon DeSilva

I love this podcast and am so glad I found it, but I couldn't make it past 0:18. I applaud his work.

d b

I think this is the worst thing I've ever heard. Wish I'd skipped it... but I agree that you had to cover it.

Jeff Henry

Fake rescue videos are classified as animal abuse according to the YouTube Community Guidelines. You can't report an entire channel for it, but you can report individual videos/shorts for animal abuse.

Ashlee white

Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I love your podcast and this couldn’t have been easy to research. I will have to skip this one and await the next post.

Leah Young

jesus christ this is gut wrenching.

Josey Baucom

Reminds me of Faces of Death

Vino Galan

The killer whale episode was intense for me. This one was over the top terrible. Humans are really the worst.

Kerry Duis

Made it to 2 min. This practice or whatever it’s called is so reprehensible thanks for shedding light on this. I’m going to try to listen to the rest

Courtney Sit

Wow. There are some depraved people out there. But then maybe these people are probably willing to torture their fellow human beings. It was hard to listen to for sure.

Lisa

This video was huge to me. I had no idea people do this kind of stuff. It absolutely made me sick and I cried. I hope that every one of these people eventually get caught. It's hard as it was to listen to this I am grateful for you bringing it to my attention.

Sam
>>126922531

All I can think is that it’s people who feel like they have no power in their own lives so they want to subject another humanoid creature to the abuse they feel they’ve endured (whether real or imagined).

Rachael

Should've taken the warning. That was pretty terrible...

Allison A

I hate these people

Pete Milan

New listeners: When you hear the content warnings, you may think "I'm jaded, there's nothing that's going to rattle me." You're wrong.

Diana Molina

I dont understand how humans can treat innocent creatures so terribly.I hate all of it.

Haley Ashton

I barely made it through this when it first aired and I haven't played it since.
