People like him are scaring me. How can a human do this to any creature? Reminds me a little of the Logan Paul Corpse thing. Using death or any hurt animals/humans for clicks is soo horrible. I really hope these people learn someday…
I live in Florida and I think it is disgusting to house rabbits outdoors and Extremely cruel to house them outdoors in Florida, It is so hot and humid here it is painful for a human to go outside here and it is only way worst for a European Rabbit. I also see so many snakes around my house and a snake could easily get into that chicken coop and the rabbits would have no escape.
@@mairal9572 Hi. A fan doesn’t have that same effect that it does to a person or like a dog. That’s because rabbits don’t sweat. It’s best to turn on the ac.
@@dodo1063 that’s crazy! That might be why my rabbits love sitting in the front of the fan even though we keep the house at 64-68 F degrees. I guess they just like the breeze and are not necessarily trying to cool off.
He seems to always put out animals to fake rescues for views, he's an animal abuser as far as I see. I really hope this was real but sadly very suspect.
Thank you for spreading the word! A lot of youtubers with a large platform avoid making these videos in fear of controversy, but it is so refreshing seeing someone show what is actually right.
This makes me so angry & breaks my heart! I've only had our bunnies for about 3 weeks & even I can clearly see that every part of this "rescue" video is wrong... on SO many levels. Those bunnies need to be rescued from HIM! The other thing I noticed in the video is that he said they are in Florida. It is so hot there. I am originally from Texas & no rabbit should ever be kept outdoors anywhere, let alone in the South. Both of these people look as if they are on the verge of sweating and they aren't even the ones covered in fur. What is their plan to keep the bunnies cool? Outside, in an enclosed coop, in the summer in Florida?! Are you kidding me?! When our bunnies bink around INSIDE our house, they can easily get too warm... in Montana...in June. In our home, our little guys have cool granite to lie on & we keep the temperature in our house around 65-70 degrees NO MATTER WHAT. There doesn't even appear to be any water dishes for those poor bunnies! This video genuinely makes me sick to my stomach...shame on them both! Thank you for sharing this because they do need to be stopped. As I watch this video, it looks to me like they already owned these rabbits, neglected them to the condition they are in & then staged a rescue video. 🤬 On a brighter note, I really appreciate your videos. Being new bunny owners, your videos are so helpful in learning all the things a bunny owner should educate themselves on. Thanks so much!
Literally trying not to cry rn, I hate how they kept saying "those poor babies, their condition was terrible" and they didn't actually do anything to help, no water, no hay, threw sweet potatoes at them and locked them in a freaking chicken coop? I would've immediately made sure they had water and hay, cleaned their paws and check for sores or bugs, and brought them to a vet. Only the vet could know if there's something deeper that could be wrong and give them a very thorough checkup.
They do not know the first thing about taking care of a rabbit and just take them in as if there were the pet expert, when all they did was complain and complain about the rabbits health and state when all they did was put them in what I call prison and didn't do a single thing about the two rabbits state. I hope that they come to their senses
I know right, and houses the rabbits Outdoors?!?!? In Florida??!?!? I am a rabbit owner and Bunny TH-camr from Florida and I can say it is extremely cruel to house rabbits outdoors here, It is already too hot for humans to go outside comfortably and it is only way worst for a European Rabbit. Also there are so many predators here, I see snakes around my house every day, A snake could easily get into that chicken coop they are keeping the rabbits in and the rabbits would have no escape. :(
@@kookythebunny Hello fellow Dutch baby owner! I'm in Massachusetts and its already hot enough here, I can't imagine how much worse it must be in Florida! And yeah, when I saw the puny latch and just the state of the coop the bunnies have practically no protection from something like a snake! Also I could be wrong but I don't ever recall him giving them water, even in the coop! Shameful :(
Some people just disgust me. It's a different story if it's someone just trying to help and they've never had to do research, but he CLEARLY is doing it only for attention and to be called a "hero"
Also the fact that, despite being a habitual animal rescuer, he doesn’t even own a carrier is very strange to me?? like if you’re going to fake it at least make it realistic and ethical god
Exactly, I volunteered with wildlife rescue in south Florida for years. Never was called for a bunny, pretty much every other wild critter though. I always had a net, heavy gloves, towels and carriers in my car.
Was recommended by Soda to see your video on the bunny rescue since ur the expert, and I commend you on your professionalism with holding your anger at this blatant negligence with another life, regardless of it being an animal. Like holy crap I learned more about these fluffy cuties then searching random facts (still recommend ikin researching new pets) but still like, def new sub!
When we found our first dumped rabbit, he actually hopped up to us and let us pick him right up. He wasn't too fond of being picked up after that so I think he was scared and wanted someone to help him. The second time we went to catch stray rabbits, it was a 3 day long ordeal that took 5 people to catch 2 rabbits.
NEVER give your bunny pine shavings, random weeds to chew on, lack of hay/pellets, never pick them up like they can’t break their backs, never throw yourself on your rabbit, never keep two different genders together, never keep bunnies together when they’re not fixed they will fight to the death, and never stage a rescue!! Also never assume a rabbit is just “abandoned” when they could’ve escaped and be lost.
@@isabellacampeau6172 yeah it’s ok as long as their fixed but some people are so irresponsible and selfish that they breed rabbits. Or even keep the same unfixed gender together and they’ll still fight.
I agree…How awful!😡Staged or not, TH-cam shouldn’t allow that kind of content. Fake rescues & misinformation is dangerous to these precious, voiceless beings🥺Keep bringing these types to light Lorelei!👏🏼🐇
We don’t need more regulations, we need more sense of responsibility. If you feel a channel is not acting how you feel they should, don’t watch, don’t even discuss them and promote them in any way.
@@marsneedstowels No but you can work towards creating a culture that encourages self responsibility, common sense and basic understanding rather than continuing down the path of having all freedoms regulated to death by an over teaching government that only produces an increasingly stupid and mentally unstable population.
I avoid watching rescue missions because so many of them are staged and I just find it so demeaning and frustrating to those who actually do rescue animals from the goodness of their heart or because it's their job.
Thank you Lorelei , I have learned so much about rabbit care and holding myself to the highest standard of care for my adorable bunny Lucy. She got spayed last week and is doing great ! I found her vet by looking at rabbit rescue recommendations. I can’t wait to send pics of her rabbit room, still working on it. This is awful, I hate to see this bad treatment of bunnies. I hope the attention you generate will bring about some change
Also note the freshly mowed Everglades area in which he was supposedly pursuing pythons. Being a former Floridian, this just strikes me as another red flag.
fake rescue videos really bother me and there are a lot online. even worse when the majority doesn’t even know what they are and end up amplifying the abuser, commenting about how cute/heartwarming/funny the videos are when clearly there are red flags. i looked up ‘how to spot a fake animal sanctuary’ and ‘how to spot fake rescues’ to learn more and avoid scammers and animal exploitation.
@@tatiaa7206 i know. that said, i don’t know how common they are or anything. hopefully not that much. the fake videos are probably much more prevalent because there’s less oversight. vegan sanctuaries are my favorite to support and pay attention to because i think the values are just more focused on animal rights. there are some great ones out there
This is so crazy! my bunny is a holland lop, she is very sweet and friendly which means she is okay being out in open areas like our living room and my bedroom (she is free roamed:) but a bunny who was "dumped" out in a forest word not react like this! they would be scared and try to stay away from people and predators. They would not just sit out in the middle of a field calmly. Like Lorelei has showed in all of her past rescue videos, it is a much longer process to rescue bunnies then he is showing. let alone rescue like 4 bunnies in one night! Thank you for actually taking the time to go out and rescue bunnies Lorelei
It's not just him, it's his sister @Hannah Feder aswell. This is ridiculous! All of these animals are clearly mistreated for the views and clout. It makes me angry! What infuriates me the most is that they don't even listen when people tell them they are caring for an animal improperly. Not to mention how they act like they know everything. Thank you for calling them out, Lorelei!
His sister ‘found’ baby mice, and then in another video was showing how they were doing and talking about releasing them but in the second video they were obviously domestic rats (one was yellow), not wild mice! I hope she didn’t actually release them.
It's horrible! There is one video on Hannah's channel where she puts "two female" bettas together (in like a 2 gallon tank of course) - One of them is VERY CLEARLY a male and the other just as well seems like a plakat Male. It's horrible - and there are no new updates of these fish most likely because they both are dead. Classic Feders. >:(
Sadly them properly caring for them probably wouldn't get them as many views cause than they couldn't make sad videos when they die or they "rescue" them from some weird situation. It's also kinda funny that some people believe he's rescuing very very very young exotic animals people pay thousands of dollars for and he just happens to find some
I know right, he gives the rabbits a bad diet and houses the rabbits Outdoors?!?!? In Florida??!?!?

@@kookythebunny Hi Kooky, I am subscribed to you! I totally agree and I've seen other videos about Jacob about how his vids are questionable. Hopefully he does not get more bunnies like these in the future.
One of my rabbits was dumped or escaped. Someone posted about him in their yard and I went to try and catch him. They had caught him, but by the time I got there he had escaped again. It took me about a half hour to get him and it was not easy. Once we got home and he had some time to relax, eat, and drink, he became extremely friendly and was climbing all over me and flopping next to me. This video seems so staged. Even though my boy was super friendly post rescue, he was still terrified during the rescue itself. I could never imagine a dumped bunny just sitting and accepting being caught.
The biggest red flag for me was personally how CLEAN their white coats were except for urine stains? So two mistreated baby bunnies survived being dumped in the damn florida everglades without burrowing for shelter while drenched in the stench of their own waste? These babies were loved pets and this Jacob is a sociopathic PoS
@@white_tiger9298Surrrre, except it was like five meters away and dark, no way he could have seen its ears that time AND been so confident about it. Not to mention dog breeds often have more distinctive traits than rabbits, tbh I wouldn’t be able to tell anything about a random rabbit I saw unless it had floppy ears like a holland lop. I dunno about his other ‘rescue’ video, but this one is so clearly fake. If it was a stray and dumped, it likely wouldn’t have been treated good in the first place and would struggle more when he tried to scoop it up. Honestly, even if he did somehow find THREE bunnies outside randomly, he’s still irresponsible and practically an animal abuser (well, you can say neglecter if you want to be kind) for not even searching up the basic needs or diet of a bunny. AND not taking a clearly ill bunny to the vet (even if it wasn’t lethargic, you should still take animals you ‘rescue’ to the vet), and stressing it out so much that it died in less than two days in his ‘care’
@@birb70 from what I seen I could see the rabbit just fine when he said it. But maybe he did put it there. I know a lot of animals of every kind get dumped. and some people are just too cocky and think they know everything and say something as soon as they see it. But again he could have put it there... We just don't know tho. We wasn't there. :) have a good one.
Ugh...that's horrible Those staged videos all over youtube make me so angry and sad. I wish people would stop treating poor innocent animals like that. Those poor babies only deserve a good life, not to be used to get views and money...mistreated or tortured or dying in the process. UGH. I love you but I could barely make it through the video honestly...just the thought that there are people who can be so..... It just makes me sad. Thank you for covering this even though it must be heartbreaking to talk about 😭 Also the way he held the bunny even after 'catching' it killed me inside 😭
you actually inspired me to have my very first rabbit, Bibun, be free-roamed. I actually bunny proofed my room to my best effort and so far, we are both loving and enjoying each other's company!
I am a new bunny mom who knows nothing. I have watched so many videos by so many people. You have won me over with your compassion in the Jacob rescue video. What a sad story! So I have subscribed and have alot of content to watch. Thank you for your educated content! My abandoned bunny is a coffee colored floppy eared bunny. He doesn't bite..beautiful..very friendly..won't let me touch him..but comes right up to me..nudges me..smells me..starting to react to my voice. I think I have had him for about a week..free roaming him. Haven't settled on a name yet...I'm thinking Baily or maybe Hudson (yes they are off of liquor bottles..Bailys Irish cream..and Hudsons corn whiskey) no I dont drink..my sons bar. I know the bunny is a boy..but have no idea how old he is. An 8 yr old boy moving from a house to an apartment..left it in their yard..and the kid told my 8 yr old nephew that he could have him..my nephews dad didnt want to keep the rabbit..so Aunt Susan (me) now has the rabbit..and I am loving him! I need to find a vet and have a checkup.
i am a vet nurse and i can attest you never ever hold a bunny that way. we know and have seen some rabbits kick so hard when being handled they break their own back. you never hold them like that with one hand. support is everything. this is crazy. those are tame binnies from him i bet.
Took a bag of kale down to our east side shelter today and they were completely full of bunnies. So sad. At least they do not euthanize them. So I will continue my weekly visits to help care for not just buns but turtles, parakeets and Guinea pigs. ❣️🐰🌺
Thank you so much for helping the baby bunnies 💕💕 it breaks my heart to know there are bunnies caged up that nobody wants but i’m happy they are not being euthanized👍🏽
I do want to say something about how he was holding the bunny on its back. I know how you said it was unnatural for a bunny to be that calm while on its back, but when you put a bunny on its back it goes into a stress response that keeps it from moving. So that would make it completely normal.
Ya I 100% agree with you. A bunny wouldn’t ever not be scared especially if it’s been abandoned. It’s just the part of a bunny unless their socialized. This man makes me mad
Dear Lorelei, After watching your video I decided to go to Jacob’s channel and it turns out they made a video of finding more rabbits! They still had them in a hutch but they gave them hay. Thanks for posting this video tho. It’s wonderful to see someone who is doing the right thing and giving rabbits the proper care. You’re the best Lorelei.🐰❤️🥰 -lullaby
(months late but whatever) tbh you shouldn’t go on these ppl’s channels bc it gives them more views and more revenue. what i’d recommend is to report them instead
I also noticed the rabbits back feet were stained with urine. Isn’t that usually from sitting in a dirty pen and litter? I have a Flemish giant and we do her box daily and she’s never had stained paws. Maybe I’m mistaken and it’s her white fur
There are tons of fake rescue pages where they film the healthy animal and then hurts it or kills it. Then edit it to make it look like they "rescued" them. This gives me those exact vibes. It's very staged and it makes me believe that this is a similar situation.
Im a new bunny owner and even i know you arent suppose to give bunnies potatoes. This guy is driving me nuts. Before i even pick leaves and grass for my bunnies i search a picture of the leaves or grass on my phone through google and make sure its ok for my bunnies to eat it.
My children were watching educational TH-cam. They love animals. Especially little critters like frogs and snakes. I was watching one of his videos and he was literally snake hunting and killing pythons in a place called python island. Opening up the clutches and killing the babies. I was horrified. He needs to be stopped
I love seeing you tell the truth! Thank you. Also, while I know you’ve done a video on this before, could you revisit rabbit hemorrhagic disease? I am a vet tech for an animal shelter in western WA. We’ve just had our first confirmed cases in the state in the past month. These poor bunnies were also indoor only and very well cared for. Rabbit rescues in my area are holding vaccination clinics and vaccinating hundreds of rabbits at a time and our shelter is vaccinating all of our buns as well as our wonderful fosters own pet rabbits. This disease has such a horribly high mortality rate and RHDV2 will often present even without bleeding. I’m grateful that my bunnies are vaccinated, but I still use the utmost caution when working with stray bunnies. Please encourage your audience to seek out a rabbit savvy vet, house rabbit society or a rescue to learn where to find vaccines in their area. Medgene is producing a killed virus vaccine in the US so the vaccine isn’t as difficult for places to get as it’s been in the past. It’s just so sad to see how fast rabbits pass from this disease. Also, rabbits living outside are so much more susceptible to infection. No more useless deaths and help to protect the wild rabbit population! Thanks Lorelei.
Go to 7:25 in your video. This is where he first gives away that he knows there is a second rabbit out there (i.e. the whole 'rescue' is staged). He switches from talking about a single rabbit (the one he just caught) to rabbits plural. ''You can tell these rabbits were neglected. They were standing in their own pee''. So many flaws and issues, and at the end when he put them into that chicken coop without a single piece of hay I just wanted to die (and probably the rabbits did too).
This is terrible, especially because he has so many followers. He is educating people about rabbits in the wrong way. To hold a rabbit like that is just absolutely terrible.
Lorelei, I know you may not see this but I have a little story I wanted to share. At this event with animals I overheard a woman with her husband (I’m guessing,) (and keep in mind, their little daughter which is a toddler,) talking about getting a bunny. The woman said the bunny was going to be for their little girl. WHICH IS A TODDLER- and can’t even take care of an animal yet. I also heard a lot about cages, so I’m guessing their going to get a bunny and cage them. I really hope they choose to free roam, and research.
As a vet tech, I can definitely vouch for this being true. You need a small clinic or, specifically exotics clinic. The reason many practices don't see bunnies unless they are specialized is because bunnies have a very different kind of system (from dogs and cats), and many older vets were not taught much about exotic/pocket pets. Also, when it comes to more serious illnesses because they hide sickness well, most pass before owners are able to take them to a vet. I encourage you to look into exotic/pocket pet veterinarians. They are becoming more and more common!
Anyone get the sense that he got the rabbits very young, raised them in that coop, and now that they're grown, he's going to feed them to that ten foot snake he found?
Hi Lorelei, I'm a newish sub, so I'm catching up on your wonderful channel. I watched the previous one about him, then this. It distresses me so much too the way this guy is portraying himself. He hasn't a clue about rabbits and yes, the two rabbit rescue was definitely staged. He holds bunnies like toys and has no respect. I have a realistic life size toy bunny, as well as our bunny Bobby. Whether it's Bobby or toy bunny, they are properly picked up and carried.
This is so staged it’s not even funny. I volunteered in my first rabbit rescue mission back in April and it took several of us volunteers just to catch 1 bunny. And that was with the use of ex-pens, food to entice etc. and once caught we would immediately put them into a carrier. This guy is making it look like a cake walk 😒
Im so glad such a big name in pettube is calling this guy out and I hope others will follow suit here. Paused at the start but I have a feeling this video is going to get any fans he still has really riled up. I tried questioning his knowledge, the morality of his videos and the reality behind his shtick a while ago, it did not go down well. It seems he markets his channel towards people ignorant regarding animal welfare and too young to learn independently for themselves, so they trust his word as gospel. They see nothing wrong and even normalise how many healthy animals have such often devastating outcomes under his care, it's dangerous and just devastating that TH-cam doesn't care how much misinformation and mistreatment animals endure on this site 😪
There was legitimately someone resorting to lying about being a vet to try and credit him and discredit Lorelei. That's how bad his fans are. Any real vet would be disgusted this guy doesn't take any of his "rescues" to the vet at all.

@@littlekitsune1 which I find odd he supposedly has a good vet that was in his video with his clouded leopard when he took her in like you have a vet take the bunnies in !
A lot of people don't call him out because he LOVES alll attention even negative attention. I also agree he knows nothing he made a video claiming you have to teach sloths to climb 🤦.
Who’s to say those rabbits were bonded? He just put them together in a bin without knowing that. If they were really rescues from the outdoors, they could have killed each other. Rabbits are very territorial, especially if they aren’t spayed and neutered.
Hi! Do you have any facts or anything to help me? I have a hutch for my rabbit but I leave it open for him to go in when he wants and the rest of the time he has free roam around my garden. My garden isn’t small so he has plenty of space to run around and stuff. All the plant in my garden are safe and won’t do him any harm. I also leave my back door open so he also can come in my house, he can also go up into my room. Is this ok for my rabbit?
I went to my friends house yesterday and their roommate had a lion head in a guiena pig cage (pet store ones) and she is never home and never lets him out. Plus she only has one. Please help. i don’t know how to approach her with this. Last person i tried to help said i was wrong and that they care for their rabbit and know what is best but i can’t stand to see this
@@PeacockFRaccoon frr like he ain't the only one the dumb part is they don't even take time to atleast research what the poor animals eat or what type of habitat they need to survive in
This is horrible… 😡😡😡Those animals have a life, and he is destroying them! I think it is a truly bad soul to do that to poor little animals. Thank you Loralie for making this video:)
I also can’t believe that they put those two rabbits together. They’re not a bonded pair they could seriously injure each other. Rabbits are not automatically friends 😭😭😭
That was so painful to watch! His video thumbnails are super gross and disturbing. I looked at his page and every 3rd video or so has a violent theme with that fake blood splattered on an animal. How can anyone believe that's what an animal lover looks like?
We lost our young 1yo rabbit last Friday night. A very sweet English Spot. She went down hill very quickly. Turns out she had E. Cuniculi (spelling) which we believe she got from her mother while in the womb. It was the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed. Could you please do a video on warning signs of this disease so people have a better chance of spotting the symptoms? It started when our rabbit stopped eating her pellets, yet was still eating veggies and hay. Sadly by the time we got to see the vet, she had almost every symptom. It’s a strange illness, they can carry the disease for months and never show any symptoms.
Not to mention he literally states in the video that the rabbits have something going on with their skin and then turns around and SETS THEM UP FOR ADOPTION without even taking them to the vet. So he’s potentially giving away sick rabbits to innocent people .Lorelei everything you said was spot on. I believe he went to a pet store bought 2 rabbits and then dumped them in the forest to ✨find them✨ he’s literally taking these animals lives for granted over a TH-cam VIDEO. He needs to be CANCELLED. Excellent video Lorelei ❤️❤️
I have a free roam bun, Karat, and I used to be able to watch these types of videos, but now it’s literally too triggering and I cry whenever I think about rabbits being mistreated.. damn it 😭😭😭
what's disgusting is these videos (the jacob guy or whatever his name is) are clearly aimed at children or a younger audience. he's spreading misinformation to children. he's taking advantage of living creatures for a quick buck. very questionable morals
I've got a hyper socialized bunny, when he heard drum or loudvoices (they lives in garden happily) he got scarred and run away... I need to calm him, he doesn't immediately recognize me. 11:11
My mom thinks rabbits should live in cage BUT I told her about ur channel and how they need to FREE ROAM INSIDE, but she won’t budge. Since she’s gonna force me to cage the bunny I’m gonna decide not to get a bunny as bad as I want one. I’d rather someone else rescue/adopt the bunnies and give them free roam. Instead of my forceful parent making bunny live in cage.
This is so frustrating! I can't believe people like that spread misinformation especially with such easy access to educate themselves. Keep up the good work Lorelei, thank you for always helping the buns!
As bunny owners and against animal abuser we should unite and report him and comment to inform people. Thanl you lennon for bringing more light into this issue. God bless you :D If if weren't for you and other bunny channels I wouldnt have known how to properly care for my fluffy babies
Do NOT comment on his video regardless of if they're positive or negative they boost his videos cause the more interaction a video gets the more social media pushes it. He DOES NOT care about these animals and the majority of his supporters do not care to do their own research and wholeheartedly thinks he's actually helping these animals.
@@slaughterhater exactly and for some reason he always seems prepared and apparently there are soooo many "abandoned" animals he "saves". Just a lil sus.
I never watch these kind of videos, they give me sleepless nights. I have 3 bunnies, and the oldest one looks just like the ones he "rescued". Mine sleep in the middle of the night until 5 AM. That is when I come to clean them and feed them. When I, for some stupid reason, change my schedule to 4 or 3 AM, they will panic for a few seconds. Giving them food would be waste of time. They have a large enclosure in my room, but rather not pick them up when it's feeding time. They don't like to be picked up when they are still in the process of waking up. Jacob's bunnies didn't act normal. He should have taken them to a vet that very morning. He better never touches my bunnies, or I would sue the heck out of him!
Fake, phony, false, like many animal "rescue" videos people post. The facial expressions, the voice--all ham acting. If there's a humane society in Florida, they should investigate.
Isn't it funny how the "only container they had" already had rabbit droppings and straw in it? Kind of like he brought the rabbits in it to stage the video.
I haven't finished the vid yet, but WHY would he put 2 bunnies that he doesn't know thr sex of in the same bin? I wouldn't be surprised if most rabbits that are dumped aren't fixed...you might have more of an issue with pregnancy later on... Also my bunnies don't want me to pick them up most days . ... and they live in my room! Edit: WHAT IF THEY ARE BONDED? Is he letting them go separate to homes? Also WHY didn't he clean their feet?
I know right, The video is clearly staged, and then he gives the rabbits a bad diet and houses the rabbits Outdoors?!?!? In Florida??!?!?

staged for sure iam sick of people making money off from animals and children most familys continue spitting out babys so they have a fresh cute new baby in the videos your videos help bunnys and thats a great thing you save many many bunnies and help people understand what bunnys need. love lennon and your channel ive learned alot to help me with my 2 bunnys
I love your lipstick. And also, you're so right, there's so much wrong with these videos and the fact that he conveniently finds so many pets to rescue
I have a white bun who always ends up with dirty back paws ( which he is not good at cleaning), we do try to wipe them but it really doesn't work and I'm too scared to give him a bath because of the dangers of a heart attack or him freaking out. Have you got any tips for cleaning them?
thats honestly terrifying to see that someone with so little knowlegde about bunnys are "taeching" million of subscribers how to handle a rescued animal wrong ...im praying for those poor bunnys ....
I could've believed it's pure ignorance, but sadly it isnt He's intentionally harming them, took one look on 'recent comments' Almost none even once called out, so he's more than likely actively removing them
There is so much wrong with Jacob Feder's video 😡. Thank you for shining a light on what he is doing! Those poor bunnies are going to have tummy aches from that food 😭.
Oh hi, I feel like my rabbit is in pain today. I went to a party and my sister let Harry roam in the house and didn’t really care about him. When I came back I saw fresh red stuff on the ground that I’ve never seen before, I called my sister and she sais it’s dried up pee. I don’t understand. And then what shocked me I was petting him in his cage and every time I stopped, he started to tremble
Hello Lorelei and Lennon! I am so sorry for your struggles. I know you have been trying for years to educate people, but some people just don’t understand! It is so frustrating for me as well especially after all of your efforts. I hope Jacob watches this video and changes his ways. Thank you for making this video! Love you both!!!💛💛💛
@@lazyhomebody1356 I never said He should I said He Can change his ways... So plz Can we not fight? Edit: P.S. This is my opinion don't take it to heart ty
It was hard to watch this to the end. I agreed with all of your comments. The way they treated and handled those poor bunnies made me want to scream! And yeah, it really looks like he was the original person keeping them and that's why they didn't resist him "rescuing" them. It's horrible that he let their feet get that way and then didn't even do anything about it "for the camera."
Hes made another video with another white rabbit that was matted and people are using the excuse of how is it fake if the bunny was matted Are people blind? He clearly let the baby get that way himself and they are calling Lorelei crazy and rude in his comments ! Someone even called her a bunny Karen 🤦♀️
This was hard to watch, very heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this video Lorelei, I know how frustrating it must have been for you to watch this yourself.
Me and my sister have our rabbits in a temporary cage, we are Still makeing their yard/ house kinda thing (not a hutch) but the cage we are keeping them in has pine shavings, Is that ok? Or should we change it right away?
I find it curious how both the rabbits feet had a reddish coloration to it and the mulch was that exact color… there were also two wet areas inside the hutch so it seems like they were already being kept there before… it could also be from the bin he casually happened to have on hand when he rescued them
What do you guys think about this situation???
Hi! This is crazy. My bunny once escaped and usually I can just scoop him up, but he kicked up a giant fuss.
He needs to stop attention seeking
People like him are scaring me. How can a human do this to any creature? Reminds me a little of the Logan Paul Corpse thing. Using death or any hurt animals/humans for clicks is soo horrible. I really hope these people learn someday…
Hola and this is a crazy situation and should be stoped Straight away
He really needs to stop, or at least not film it.
THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS! I’m actually in shock. Those bunnies are living outside in Florida?! It’s literally 90 degrees here…
I live in Florida and I think it is disgusting to house rabbits outdoors and Extremely cruel to house them outdoors in Florida, It is so hot and humid here it is painful for a human to go outside here and it is only way worst for a European Rabbit. I also see so many snakes around my house and a snake could easily get into that chicken coop and the rabbits would have no escape.
I live in Florida and my parents turn on the fan for my bunny when its feeling hot. I cant imagine those poor bunnys that are out in the heat
@@mairal9572 Hi. A fan doesn’t have that same effect that it does to a person or like a dog. That’s because rabbits don’t sweat. It’s best to turn on the ac.
@@dodo1063 that’s crazy! That might be why my rabbits love sitting in the front of the fan even though we keep the house at 64-68 F degrees. I guess they just like the breeze and are not necessarily trying to cool off.
@@dodo1063Thank you! I will certainly make sure we have our ac on especially on hot days!
For somebody that isn't a rabbit person, he was pretty quick to identify their breed from y'know 5 metres away.....
This was something that I noticed too. He was so certain of a rabbit from so far away, AND trying to guess breed from that far back?? Sus.
That's what I'm wondering to 🤔
He seems to always put out animals to fake rescues for views, he's an animal abuser as far as I see. I really hope this was real but sadly very suspect.
He is very sus but he also closed the lid and I don’t think that box has air holes

Yea what even gave her this idea? Probably just false assumption @taliyahriviere5502
The way they treat them is awful.... If I treated my baby bun or any rescued bunny like that I wouldn't be able to live with myself
This makes me so angry & breaks my heart! I've only had our bunnies for about 3 weeks & even I can clearly see that every part of this "rescue" video is wrong... on SO many levels. Those bunnies need to be rescued from HIM! The other thing I noticed in the video is that he said they are in Florida. It is so hot there. I am originally from Texas & no rabbit should ever be kept outdoors anywhere, let alone in the South. Both of these people look as if they are on the verge of sweating and they aren't even the ones covered in fur. What is their plan to keep the bunnies cool? Outside, in an enclosed coop, in the summer in Florida?! Are you kidding me?! When our bunnies bink around INSIDE our house, they can easily get too warm... in Montana...in June. In our home, our little guys have cool granite to lie on & we keep the temperature in our house around 65-70 degrees NO MATTER WHAT. There doesn't even appear to be any water dishes for those poor bunnies! This video genuinely makes me sick to my stomach...shame on them both! Thank you for sharing this because they do need to be stopped. As I watch this video, it looks to me like they already owned these rabbits, neglected them to the condition they are in & then staged a rescue video. 🤬 On a brighter note, I really appreciate your videos. Being new bunny owners, your videos are so helpful in learning all the things a bunny owner should educate themselves on. Thanks so much!
Literally trying not to cry rn, I hate how they kept saying "those poor babies, their condition was terrible" and they didn't actually do anything to help, no water, no hay, threw sweet potatoes at them and locked them in a freaking chicken coop? I would've immediately made sure they had water and hay, cleaned their paws and check for sores or bugs, and brought them to a vet. Only the vet could know if there's something deeper that could be wrong and give them a very thorough checkup.
at the very least they could google what a rabbit needs.
@@clownshark_ exactly!
They do not know the first thing about taking care of a rabbit and just take them in as if there were the pet expert, when all they did was complain and complain about the rabbits health and state when all they did was put them in what I call prison and didn't do a single thing about the two rabbits state. I hope that they come to their senses

@@kookythebunny Hello fellow Dutch baby owner! I'm in Massachusetts and its already hot enough here, I can't imagine how much worse it must be in Florida! And yeah, when I saw the puny latch and just the state of the coop the bunnies have practically no protection from something like a snake! Also I could be wrong but I don't ever recall him giving them water, even in the coop! Shameful :(
Some people just disgust me. It's a different story if it's someone just trying to help and they've never had to do research, but he CLEARLY is doing it only for attention and to be called a "hero"
Also the fact that, despite being a habitual animal rescuer, he doesn’t even own a carrier is very strange to me?? like if you’re going to fake it at least make it realistic and ethical god
Seems like he's an animal abuser rather than rescuer, makes me feel sick, people really are evil.
Exactly, I volunteered with wildlife rescue in south Florida for years. Never was called for a bunny, pretty much every other wild critter though. I always had a net, heavy gloves, towels and carriers in my car.
even a box would do in a pinch.
OMG, guys I found pickle the dinosaur. And he spitting facts.
Was recommended by Soda to see your video on the bunny rescue since ur the expert, and I commend you on your professionalism with holding your anger at this blatant negligence with another life, regardless of it being an animal. Like holy crap I learned more about these fluffy cuties then searching random facts (still recommend ikin researching new pets) but still like, def new sub!
Poor bunnies, I live in Florida and it reaches 100 degrees almost everyday in the summer.
When we found our first dumped rabbit, he actually hopped up to us and let us pick him right up. He wasn't too fond of being picked up after that so I think he was scared and wanted someone to help him. The second time we went to catch stray rabbits, it was a 3 day long ordeal that took 5 people to catch 2 rabbits.
NEVER give your bunny pine shavings, random weeds to chew on, lack of hay/pellets, never pick them up like they can’t break their backs, never throw yourself on your rabbit, never keep two different genders together, never keep bunnies together when they’re not fixed they will fight to the death, and never stage a rescue!! Also never assume a rabbit is just “abandoned” when they could’ve escaped and be lost.
I might be very wrong, but I thought it was ok to keep two fixed rabbits of opposite genders.
@@isabellacampeau6172 yeah it’s ok as long as their fixed but some people are so irresponsible and selfish that they breed rabbits. Or even keep the same unfixed gender together and they’ll still fight.
You can sometimes keep two different genders together, depending on if they're bonded and are fixed.
I agree…How awful!😡Staged or not, TH-cam shouldn’t allow that kind of content. Fake rescues & misinformation is dangerous to these precious, voiceless beings🥺Keep bringing these types to light Lorelei!👏🏼🐇

I avoid watching rescue missions because so many of them are staged and I just find it so demeaning and frustrating to those who actually do rescue animals from the goodness of their heart or because it's their job.
Thank you Lorelei , I have learned so much about rabbit care and holding myself to the highest standard of care for my adorable bunny Lucy. She got spayed last week and is doing great ! I found her vet by looking at rabbit rescue recommendations. I can’t wait to send pics of her rabbit room, still working on it. This is awful, I hate to see this bad treatment of bunnies. I hope the attention you generate will bring about some change
it's so frustrating seeing how mistreated pet rabbits end up due to the ignorance and misinformation out there :( you're doing great work lorelei!
Also note the freshly mowed Everglades area in which he was supposedly pursuing pythons. Being a former Floridian, this just strikes me as another red flag.
fake rescue videos really bother me and there are a lot online. even worse when the majority doesn’t even know what they are and end up amplifying the abuser, commenting about how cute/heartwarming/funny the videos are when clearly there are red flags. i looked up ‘how to spot a fake animal sanctuary’ and ‘how to spot fake rescues’ to learn more and avoid scammers and animal exploitation.
There are fake animal sanctuaries ??☹️ People would literally do anything to make money … so pathetic.
@@tatiaa7206 Yea:( so sad and sick that people make fake sancturaries for money and likes ☹🙁
@@tatiaa7206 i know. that said, i don’t know how common they are or anything. hopefully not that much. the fake videos are probably much more prevalent because there’s less oversight.

I don't know about Jacob himself but I do know his sister Hannah is a real rescuer. I watch her videos more and she's been doing it for 6 years.
notice how they look like the same bunny he claims died..-
This is so crazy! my bunny is a holland lop, she is very sweet and friendly which means she is okay being out in open areas like our living room and my bedroom (she is free roamed:) but a bunny who was "dumped" out in a forest word not react like this! they would be scared and try to stay away from people and predators. They would not just sit out in the middle of a field calmly. Like Lorelei has showed in all of her past rescue videos, it is a much longer process to rescue bunnies then he is showing. let alone rescue like 4 bunnies in one night! Thank you for actually taking the time to go out and rescue bunnies Lorelei
It's not just him, it's his sister @Hannah Feder aswell. This is ridiculous! All of these animals are clearly mistreated for the views and clout. It makes me angry! What infuriates me the most is that they don't even listen when people tell them they are caring for an animal improperly. Not to mention how they act like they know everything. Thank you for calling them out, Lorelei!
Seems like they have a whole family business going on by using and mistreating animals, disgusting.
His sister ‘found’ baby mice, and then in another video was showing how they were doing and talking about releasing them but in the second video they were obviously domestic rats (one was yellow), not wild mice! I hope she didn’t actually release them.
It's horrible! There is one video on Hannah's channel where she puts "two female" bettas together (in like a 2 gallon tank of course) - One of them is VERY CLEARLY a male and the other just as well seems like a plakat Male. It's horrible - and there are no new updates of these fish most likely because they both are dead. Classic Feders. >:(
Sadly them properly caring for them probably wouldn't get them as many views cause than they couldn't make sad videos when they die or they "rescue" them from some weird situation. It's also kinda funny that some people believe he's rescuing very very very young exotic animals people pay thousands of dollars for and he just happens to find some
You also be sticking your hamster in a 12 x 12
Some people don't deserve access to any animals.

@@connie2285 Thanks!z
yeah i hope he does not get any more bunnies
One of my rabbits was dumped or escaped. Someone posted about him in their yard and I went to try and catch him. They had caught him, but by the time I got there he had escaped again. It took me about a half hour to get him and it was not easy. Once we got home and he had some time to relax, eat, and drink, he became extremely friendly and was climbing all over me and flopping next to me.
This video seems so staged. Even though my boy was super friendly post rescue, he was still terrified during the rescue itself. I could never imagine a dumped bunny just sitting and accepting being caught.
Hello Lennon the bunny I just got my rabbits Mitzi and piper and I have been watching your channel and it has helped me so much! Thanks for this❤️
Notice how he had a bin with substrate in ready made for the bunnies?!
And how is he so confident that they’re holland lops?!
The biggest red flag for me was personally how CLEAN their white coats were except for urine stains? So two mistreated baby bunnies survived being dumped in the damn florida everglades without burrowing for shelter while drenched in the stench of their own waste?
These babies were loved pets and this Jacob is a sociopathic PoS
He might just know what they look like. I try to name every breed of dog I see. Or if it's mixed.
@@white_tiger9298Surrrre, except it was like five meters away and dark, no way he could have seen its ears that time AND been so confident about it. Not to mention dog breeds often have more distinctive traits than rabbits, tbh I wouldn’t be able to tell anything about a random rabbit I saw unless it had floppy ears like a holland lop.
I dunno about his other ‘rescue’ video, but this one is so clearly fake. If it was a stray and dumped, it likely wouldn’t have been treated good in the first place and would struggle more when he tried to scoop it up. Honestly, even if he did somehow find THREE bunnies outside randomly, he’s still irresponsible and practically an animal abuser (well, you can say neglecter if you want to be kind) for not even searching up the basic needs or diet of a bunny. AND not taking a clearly ill bunny to the vet (even if it wasn’t lethargic, you should still take animals you ‘rescue’ to the vet), and stressing it out so much that it died in less than two days in his ‘care’
@@birb70 from what I seen I could see the rabbit just fine when he said it. But maybe he did put it there. I know a lot of animals of every kind get dumped. and some people are just too cocky and think they know everything and say something as soon as they see it. But again he could have put it there... We just don't know tho. We wasn't there. :) have a good one.
Ugh...that's horrible
Those staged videos all over youtube make me so angry and sad. I wish people would stop treating poor innocent animals like that. Those poor babies only deserve a good life, not to be used to get views and money...mistreated or tortured or dying in the process. UGH.
I love you but I could barely make it through the video honestly...just the thought that there are people who can be so.....
It just makes me sad. Thank you for covering this even though it must be heartbreaking to talk about 😭
Also the way he held the bunny even after 'catching' it killed me inside 😭
you actually inspired me to have my very first rabbit, Bibun, be free-roamed. I actually bunny proofed my room to my best effort and so far, we are both loving and enjoying each other's company!
I am a new bunny mom who knows nothing.
I have watched so many videos by so many people.
You have won me over with your compassion in the Jacob rescue video.
What a sad story!
So I have subscribed and have alot of content to watch.
Thank you for your educated content!
My abandoned bunny is a coffee colored floppy eared bunny. He doesn't bite..beautiful..very friendly..won't let me touch him..but comes right up to me..nudges me..smells me..starting to react to my voice.
I think I have had him for about a week..free roaming him.
Haven't settled on a name yet...I'm thinking Baily or maybe Hudson (yes they are off of liquor bottles..Bailys Irish cream..and Hudsons corn whiskey) no I dont drink..my sons bar.
I know the bunny is a boy..but have no idea how old he is.
An 8 yr old boy moving from a house to an apartment..left it in their yard..and the kid told my 8 yr old nephew that he could have him..my nephews dad didnt want to keep the rabbit..so Aunt Susan (me) now has the rabbit..and I am loving him!
I need to find a vet and have a checkup.
i am a vet nurse and i can attest you never ever hold a bunny that way. we know and have seen some rabbits kick so hard when being handled they break their own back. you never hold them like that with one hand. support is everything. this is crazy. those are tame binnies from him i bet.
But how do you cut their nails unless you hold them tummy up?
Took a bag of kale down to our east side shelter today and they were completely full of bunnies. So sad. At least they do not euthanize them. So I will continue my weekly visits to help care for not just buns but turtles, parakeets and Guinea pigs. ❣️🐰🌺
Thank you so much for helping the baby bunnies 💕💕 it breaks my heart to know there are bunnies caged up that nobody wants but i’m happy they are not being euthanized👍🏽
You are so kind!!! I would do this but i have no near shelters in my area, when I’m older I will try to! ❤️
Thank you so much. There are so many animals that need our help and when I get older I will definitely volunteer at a shelter.
if you are old enough you should volunteer
@@lilylovessnoopy i volunteer at my local house rabbit resure!
I do want to say something about how he was holding the bunny on its back. I know how you said it was unnatural for a bunny to be that calm while on its back, but when you put a bunny on its back it goes into a stress response that keeps it from moving. So that would make it completely normal.
Also the fact that he put two "dumped" rabbits together not knowing their genders! What if they breed!
Ya I 100% agree with you. A bunny wouldn’t ever not be scared especially if it’s been abandoned. It’s just the part of a bunny unless their socialized. This man makes me mad
Dear Lorelei,
After watching your video I decided to go to Jacob’s channel and it turns out they made a video of finding more rabbits! They still had them in a hutch but they gave them hay. Thanks for posting this video tho. It’s wonderful to see someone who is doing the right thing and giving rabbits the proper care. You’re the best Lorelei.🐰❤️🥰

I don’t think we can call that a rescue…
I also noticed the rabbits back feet were stained with urine. Isn’t that usually from sitting in a dirty pen and litter? I have a Flemish giant and we do her box daily and she’s never had stained paws. Maybe I’m mistaken and it’s her white fur
@@amberleeannalee1999 exactly
@@amberleeannalee1999 hey, a fellow Flemish giant owner! I have a bonded pair
There are tons of fake rescue pages where they film the healthy animal and then hurts it or kills it. Then edit it to make it look like they "rescued" them.
This gives me those exact vibes. It's very staged and it makes me believe that this is a similar situation.
Im a new bunny owner and even i know you arent suppose to give bunnies potatoes. This guy is driving me nuts. Before i even pick leaves and grass for my bunnies i search a picture of the leaves or grass on my phone through google and make sure its ok for my bunnies to eat it.
My children were watching educational TH-cam. They love animals. Especially little critters like frogs and snakes. I was watching one of his videos and he was literally snake hunting and killing pythons in a place called python island. Opening up the clutches and killing the babies. I was horrified. He needs to be stopped
I love seeing you tell the truth! Thank you. Also, while I know you’ve done a video on this before, could you revisit rabbit hemorrhagic disease? I am a vet tech for an animal shelter in western WA. We’ve just had our first confirmed cases in the state in the past month. These poor bunnies were also indoor only and very well cared for. Rabbit rescues in my area are holding vaccination clinics and vaccinating hundreds of rabbits at a time and our shelter is vaccinating all of our buns as well as our wonderful fosters own pet rabbits. This disease has such a horribly high mortality rate and RHDV2 will often present even without bleeding. I’m grateful that my bunnies are vaccinated, but I still use the utmost caution when working with stray bunnies. Please encourage your audience to seek out a rabbit savvy vet, house rabbit society or a rescue to learn where to find vaccines in their area. Medgene is producing a killed virus vaccine in the US so the vaccine isn’t as difficult for places to get as it’s been in the past. It’s just so sad to see how fast rabbits pass from this disease. Also, rabbits living outside are so much more susceptible to infection. No more useless deaths and help to protect the wild rabbit population! Thanks Lorelei.
Go to 7:25 in your video. This is where he first gives away that he knows there is a second rabbit out there (i.e. the whole 'rescue' is staged). He switches from talking about a single rabbit (the one he just caught) to rabbits plural. ''You can tell these rabbits were neglected. They were standing in their own pee''. So many flaws and issues, and at the end when he put them into that chicken coop without a single piece of hay I just wanted to die (and probably the rabbits did too).
Great point!
It’s completely unacceptable, he doesn’t even research! Bunny care nowadays is completely different than what it was in the 90’s and 20’s
Shocking that he doesn't even take them to the vet and specially when he clearly doesn't know anything about rabbits.
This is terrible, especially because he has so many followers. He is educating people about rabbits in the wrong way. To hold a rabbit like that is just absolutely terrible.
Lorelei, I know you may not see this but I have a little story I wanted to share. At this event with animals I overheard a woman with her husband (I’m guessing,) (and keep in mind, their little daughter which is a toddler,) talking about getting a bunny. The woman said the bunny was going to be for their little girl. WHICH IS A TODDLER- and can’t even take care of an animal yet. I also heard a lot about cages, so I’m guessing their going to get a bunny and cage them. I really hope they choose to free roam, and research.
I noticed "mowed grass marks" in the everglades. hmmm.
What's even more sad is veterinarians, often times, don't see rabbits. I've had a very hard time finding one to see mine and they only do neuters.
As a vet tech, I can definitely vouch for this being true. You need a small clinic or, specifically exotics clinic. The reason many practices don't see bunnies unless they are specialized is because bunnies have a very different kind of system (from dogs and cats), and many older vets were not taught much about exotic/pocket pets. Also, when it comes to more serious illnesses because they hide sickness well, most pass before owners are able to take them to a vet. I encourage you to look into exotic/pocket pet veterinarians. They are becoming more and more common!
Is it me or does the 'middle of the everglades' look mowed and taken care of?!
Great point
Laughing so hard I peed myself!
Anyone get the sense that he got the rabbits very young, raised them in that coop, and now that they're grown, he's going to feed them to that ten foot snake he found?
Hi Lorelei, I'm a newish sub, so I'm catching up on your wonderful channel. I watched the previous one about him, then this. It distresses me so much too the way this guy is portraying himself. He hasn't a clue about rabbits and yes, the two rabbit rescue was definitely staged. He holds bunnies like toys and has no respect. I have a realistic life size toy bunny, as well as our bunny Bobby. Whether it's Bobby or toy bunny, they are properly picked up and carried.
This is so staged it’s not even funny. I volunteered in my first rabbit rescue mission back in April and it took several of us volunteers just to catch 1 bunny. And that was with the use of ex-pens, food to entice etc. and once caught we would immediately put them into a carrier. This guy is making it look like a cake walk 😒
Same. I did my first capture rescue recently too and it took me, my husband and 4 kind bystanders to catch 1 bunny. After a few hours of trying.
Im so glad such a big name in pettube is calling this guy out and I hope others will follow suit here. Paused at the start but I have a feeling this video is going to get any fans he still has really riled up.
I tried questioning his knowledge, the morality of his videos and the reality behind his shtick a while ago, it did not go down well. It seems he markets his channel towards people ignorant regarding animal welfare and too young to learn independently for themselves, so they trust his word as gospel. They see nothing wrong and even normalise how many healthy animals have such often devastating outcomes under his care, it's dangerous and just devastating that TH-cam doesn't care how much misinformation and mistreatment animals endure on this site 😪
There was legitimately someone resorting to lying about being a vet to try and credit him and discredit Lorelei. That's how bad his fans are. Any real vet would be disgusted this guy doesn't take any of his "rescues" to the vet at all.

Who’s to say those rabbits were bonded? He just put them together in a bin without knowing that. If they were really rescues from the outdoors, they could have killed each other. Rabbits are very territorial, especially if they aren’t spayed and neutered.
Hi! Do you have any facts or anything to help me? I have a hutch for my rabbit but I leave it open for him to go in when he wants and the rest of the time he has free roam around my garden. My garden isn’t small so he has plenty of space to run around and stuff. All the plant in my garden are safe and won’t do him any harm. I also leave my back door open so he also can come in my house, he can also go up into my room. Is this ok for my rabbit?

I also can’t believe that they put those two rabbits together. They’re not a bonded pair they could seriously injure each other. Rabbits are not automatically friends 😭😭😭
That was so painful to watch! His video thumbnails are super gross and disturbing. I looked at his page and every 3rd video or so has a violent theme with that fake blood splattered on an animal. How can anyone believe that's what an animal lover looks like?
Love ur videos keep up the good work
7:29 He's using a plural here but he's specifically talking about the state of this rabbit, and hasn't seen more yet...
We lost our young 1yo rabbit last Friday night. A very sweet English Spot. She went down hill very quickly. Turns out she had E. Cuniculi (spelling) which we believe she got from her mother while in the womb. It was the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed. Could you please do a video on warning signs of this disease so people have a better chance of spotting the symptoms? It started when our rabbit stopped eating her pellets, yet was still eating veggies and hay. Sadly by the time we got to see the vet, she had almost every symptom.
It’s a strange illness, they can carry the disease for months and never show any symptoms.
Not to mention he literally states in the video that the rabbits have something going on with their skin and then turns around and SETS THEM UP FOR ADOPTION without even taking them to the vet. So he’s potentially giving away sick rabbits to innocent people .Lorelei everything you said was spot on. I believe he went to a pet store bought 2 rabbits and then dumped them in the forest to ✨find them✨ he’s literally taking these animals lives for granted over a TH-cam VIDEO. He needs to be CANCELLED. Excellent video Lorelei ❤️❤️
SO TRUE!!!!!
I have a free roam bun, Karat, and I used to be able to watch these types of videos, but now it’s literally too triggering and I cry whenever I think about rabbits being mistreated.. damn it 😭😭😭
what's disgusting is these videos (the jacob guy or whatever his name is) are clearly aimed at children or a younger audience. he's spreading misinformation to children. he's taking advantage of living creatures for a quick buck. very questionable morals
I dont think he knows
@@xzavionpascual4256 Yet he acts like he does.
I've got a hyper socialized bunny, when he heard drum or loudvoices (they lives in garden happily) he got scarred and run away... I need to calm him, he doesn't immediately recognize me. 11:11
My mom thinks rabbits should live in cage BUT I told her about ur channel and how they need to FREE ROAM INSIDE, but she won’t budge. Since she’s gonna force me to cage the bunny I’m gonna decide not to get a bunny as bad as I want one. I’d rather someone else rescue/adopt the bunnies and give them free roam. Instead of my forceful parent making bunny live in cage.
This is so frustrating! I can't believe people like that spread misinformation especially with such easy access to educate themselves. Keep up the good work Lorelei, thank you for always helping the buns!
As bunny owners and against animal abuser we should unite and report him and comment to inform people. Thanl you lennon for bringing more light into this issue. God bless you :D If if weren't for you and other bunny channels I wouldnt have known how to properly care for my fluffy babies
Do NOT comment on his video regardless of if they're positive or negative they boost his videos cause the more interaction a video gets the more social media pushes it. He DOES NOT care about these animals and the majority of his supporters do not care to do their own research and wholeheartedly thinks he's actually helping these animals.
@@asherkarr5096 thats very true thank you for informing us. It was naive of me to say that.
I completely agree. He also has other animals and he’s had emus die “unexpectedly” too.
@@slaughterhater exactly and for some reason he always seems prepared and apparently there are soooo many "abandoned" animals he "saves". Just a lil sus.
I Just feel Just So Sad that there are So many cute bunnies that are abused and abandoned😢
I never watch these kind of videos, they give me sleepless nights. I have 3 bunnies, and the oldest one looks just like the ones he "rescued". Mine sleep in the middle of the night until 5 AM. That is when I come to clean them and feed them. When I, for some stupid reason, change my schedule to 4 or 3 AM, they will panic for a few seconds. Giving them food would be waste of time. They have a large enclosure in my room, but rather not pick them up when it's feeding time. They don't like to be picked up when they are still in the process of waking up. Jacob's bunnies didn't act normal. He should have taken them to a vet that very morning. He better never touches my bunnies, or I would sue the heck out of him!
When I rescued and CAUGHT the bunny I have I didn't have time to start recording I wish I did but I didn't
I can’t stand him or his sister just fake staging of animals putting them in more harms way than if they didn’t do anything at all… terrible ppl
Lorelei I agree that Jacob clearly knows nothing about rabbits and I do agree that rabbits NEVER belong outside
Not with rhdv2 especially !!! Even with the vaccine it is not safe for domestic rabbits to be outside ! No way I agree
Fake, phony, false, like many animal "rescue" videos people post. The facial expressions, the voice--all ham acting. If there's a humane society in Florida, they should investigate.
Isn't it funny how the "only container they had" already had rabbit droppings and straw in it? Kind of like he brought the rabbits in it to stage the video.
I haven't finished the vid yet, but WHY would he put 2 bunnies that he doesn't know thr sex of in the same bin? I wouldn't be surprised if most rabbits that are dumped aren't fixed...you might have more of an issue with pregnancy later on...
Also my bunnies don't want me to pick them up most days . ... and they live in my room!
Edit: WHAT IF THEY ARE BONDED? Is he letting them go separate to homes? Also WHY didn't he clean their feet?
I know right, The video is clearly staged, and then he gives the rabbits a bad diet and houses the rabbits Outdoors?!?!? In Florida??!?!?
I am a rabbit owner and Bunny TH-camr from Florida and I can say it is extremely cruel to house rabbits outdoors here, It is already too hot for humans to go outside comfortably and it is only way worst for a European Rabbit.
Also there are so many predators here, I see snakes around my house every day, A snake could easily get into that chicken coop they are keeping the rabbits in and the rabbits would have no escape. :(
You saved my bunnies from not being in a cage, now my bunnies are free roamed
staged for sure iam sick of people making money off from animals and children most familys continue spitting out babys so they have a fresh cute new baby in the videos your videos help bunnys and thats a great thing you save many many bunnies and help people understand what bunnys need. love lennon and your channel ive learned alot to help me with my 2 bunnys
I love your lipstick. And also, you're so right, there's so much wrong with these videos and the fact that he conveniently finds so many pets to rescue
I have a white bun who always ends up with dirty back paws ( which he is not good at cleaning), we do try to wipe them but it really doesn't work and I'm too scared to give him a bath because of the dangers of a heart attack or him freaking out. Have you got any tips for cleaning them?
thats honestly terrifying to see that someone with so little knowlegde about bunnys are "taeching" million of subscribers how to handle a rescued animal wrong ...im praying for those poor bunnys ....
His vibe seemed really off to me, how he interacted with snakes, cats, etc. Thank you for this video
And torture dying iguana
I could've believed it's pure ignorance, but sadly it isnt
He's intentionally harming them, took one look on 'recent comments'
Almost none even once called out, so he's more than likely actively removing them
There is so much wrong with Jacob Feder's video 😡. Thank you for shining a light on what he is doing! Those poor bunnies are going to have tummy aches from that food 😭.
Oh hi, I feel like my rabbit is in pain today. I went to a party and my sister let Harry roam in the house and didn’t really care about him. When I came back I saw fresh red stuff on the ground that I’ve never seen before, I called my sister and she sais it’s dried up pee. I don’t understand. And then what shocked me I was petting him in his cage and every time I stopped, he started to tremble
He's full of fake charisma and It seems like if ppl started caring for their animals he'd have no content.
the animals and followers may be being used for narcissistic supply
Hello Lorelei and Lennon! I am so sorry for your struggles. I know you have been trying for years to educate people, but some people just don’t understand! It is so frustrating for me as well especially after all of your efforts. I hope Jacob watches this video and changes his ways. Thank you for making this video! Love you both!!!💛💛💛
You are very optimistic. Insensitive creeps don't change their ways
@@lazyhomebody1356 yes they can!
@@HeartzfromGigi Why should he? It's working for him
@@lazyhomebody1356 I never said He should I said He Can change his ways... So plz Can we not fight? Edit: P.S. This is my opinion don't take it to heart ty
@@HeartzfromGigi I've chatted with you before and like you. So yes, peace!
Hay I wanna know if your gonna make more videos about rescuing bunny’s I loved them! And I get it if you can’t
This reminds me of the tik toker that tied 2 dogs under a house, left them there for a week. Then came back to "rescue" them for a tik tok.
So sad there are so many people out there that mistreat animals and don’t do research
It was hard to watch this to the end. I agreed with all of your comments. The way they treated and handled those poor bunnies made me want to scream! And yeah, it really looks like he was the original person keeping them and that's why they didn't resist him "rescuing" them. It's horrible that he let their feet get that way and then didn't even do anything about it "for the camera."
Hes made another video with another white rabbit that was matted and people are using the excuse of how is it fake if the bunny was matted
Are people blind? He clearly let the baby get that way himself and they are calling Lorelei crazy and rude in his comments ! Someone even called her a bunny Karen 🤦♀️
@@sukitty4207 Yep
He’s so desperate that he has to do this for the views😐 poor bunnies
This was hard to watch, very heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this video Lorelei, I know how frustrating it must have been for you to watch this yourself.
Me and my sister have our rabbits in a temporary cage, we are
Still makeing their yard/ house kinda thing (not a hutch) but the cage we are keeping them in has pine shavings, Is that ok? Or should we change it right away?
Change it, keep in the house at all times. There's a lot of bunny proofing videos out there :)
I find it curious how both the rabbits feet had a reddish coloration to it and the mulch was that exact color… there were also two wet areas inside the hutch so it seems like they were already being kept there before… it could also be from the bin he casually happened to have on hand when he rescued them
