And insects I love knowing insects are good and better too
TFIL is the best
I thought u quit!
People don't understand that these animals are wild and most aren't domesticated. They need a lot more attention then likes on social media. I appreciate these people who care for them.👏👏❤❤
and that true animals are amazing
@@rickdean1659 i have a dog, she is the best🐕❤
ever had a squirrel in your house? 😲 now THEY make terrible pets, but they're so dam cute!! i'm happy just watching them knock on my door, to get their peanuts. 👏😏 (they take them RIGHT from my hand) #SquirrelyBrigade 🐿
Exactly, if you plan to take in an animal you have to be able to put all the effort in to raise and care for the creature as though they are your own children that are forever in the toddler stage of life. If you can't take that on then a pet isn't for them. It's sad how all the animals are treated theses days as well, I've seen so many cases, but there are those few good souls that will reach out to take them in and it makes the world a little less dark when you can find a good soul that can do that and actually has the skill to take care of one that someone else couldn't. Even taking the time to do research on your pet can help you by leaps and bounds.
For my own fur babies and fish I have spent the time to research on dangerous items that could harm their life so that I can be aware of what not to bring into the home. To find the things that are safe, ways to make them happy, ways to make them comfortable when they aren't feeling so well... by the way fish are a real pain when it comes to that, but hey everything is a learning experience and if you aren't willing to always be learning then it's best to stick to digital animals, lol.
Yeah but she also was saying that these animals shouldn't be house pets and if they need a lot of attention they'd get it from people honestly she doesn't have time to bond and get really close with all them animals like people in general should be able to have pets like that get to know how they feel and what they go through and stuff I also think this would help more people and stuff to because some people go through a lot of shit and don't have no one neither do these animals it could bring people closer to these animals and we could start helping them more than hurting them if you get what I'm saying
"Most people don't even know how to take care of a hamster." I really felt that, hamsters need so much and the pet stores are not informed enough to give out the right info. 99% of hamster cages are to small, the minority of hamster food is not a correct diet, some wood bedding can kill hamsters, some hamster treats can make hamsters exstreamly ill.
I'm glad there are good hamster owners on TH-cam that spread good information for the public but there are so many that just neglect their small pets because they don't take any time to research.
Honestly when she said that I wish everyone who wants a hamster hears it, cause so many just get them because they think it's an "easy, beginner pet" so they dont properly care for it and then later wonder why it's showing signs or stress or aggression and then die early. Personally, anytime I think, "I'd like to have this creature as a pet" I do a BUNCH of research and think carefully, am I in a good situation in my personal and work life where I can add another living breathing creature into it and care for it. For example, last year at the beginning of summer, I wanted a guinea pig and thought it would be a nice friend to have, so i did research and learned that they grow a lot bigger than what you see in stores and on the media and they need a lot of space. Actually, hamsters need a lot of space too, i learned so much and decided, I won't get a guinea pig and that's okay. But a lot of people do the opposite, they go to the pet store, see cute lil animals and just buy them on the spot not knowing enough or any info, its awful
@@gracielaestevez75 💯% agree
YES!!! Thank you!!! I have had a few hamsters and they require as much care as a dog or cat would. I have had three hamsters and they all lived past their life expectancy. I now have two guinea pigs and they are a step up but I had done two moths of research before getting them, and I STILL do research on them. They are hard work even if they are small. I couldn’t imagine the work that exotic pets take! That’s some serious commitment.
Love this comment!
I’m a ham-mom and they need so much attention, it’s like having a pet rat or a ferret, they’re not the type of animal where you can get it and then put it off to the side for a year- They need to be touched, loved; given attention in order to grow a bond with you.
People will talk about how “my hamster bites me”, and that’s probably because you don’t spend a lot of time with it. Also, people don’t understand that yeah, hamsters *can* live off of the generic grain food at a pet store but they *shouldn’t* .
Hamsters enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables, just look online to see which ones are safe and which ones are not. They can also eat unseasoned, cooked chicken, as well as an unseasoned hard boiled egg. One of my hamsters truly loved walnuts. You just have to see which foods your little one will like, and try a lot of options, but just overload on too many natural sugars.
Also if you choose to line the hamster cage (hoping it’s one that actually big enough for the creature) with a sort of fabric, I.e legging material, Jean material, fleece even, be careful, the hamsters can pull the strings out of it and could choke, mess up they’re digestive system, cause tooth/gum decay.
Just do your research before buying ANY animal. Fish, hamster, ANYTHING.
Hamsters are technically exotic animals too. They indeed need a lot. When It comes to care... Never ever listen to store employees. They aren't educated.
I won’t even buy a goldfish because I don’t have the space for a 30 gallon tank, and people be keeping tigers in their backyard 🤦🏻♀️
This was shock to me when I impulse bought a goldfish. (more like won at a fair since I was hyped up, never actually encountered real life 'win a goldfish', etc) Thought it was fine to keep them in the tiny bowl you could buy with them there. Thought goldfish were easy pets. Got that wakeup call when I got online to research at home. Didn't have the funds for a large 20 gallon glass aquarium, so opted for a clear food safe container of the right size. Had to get a filter and better quality food too. Then there's the fact you have to water change each week. Considering I was so unprepared, I had to cycle the tank with him in it which stressed him out. It was the only time I made an impulse buy on literally anything and never have again. Goldfish are not easy pets. Snakes are easy pets. Pricey on the electrics, but easy care wise. (I have a 17 year old cornsnake, got as a hatchling)
He's 4 years old now and doing good. I considered getting him a friend a while back, but apparently they are fine as solitary creatures. I'd have to get a bigger tank and cycle that anyway.
I'm my hometown this guy kept a bear in a cage in his backyard.
@@sugarkitty2008 goldfish usually need company. I'd consider buying him a friend.
I'm a fellow fish keeper
@@pioupiou1603 I don't know that much about fish but some goldfish do seem to like company however if your tank cannot accommodate two then just one is fine.
Also, goldfish can be territorial and bully new fish.
Devera Coffee: 1. You do NOT need a 30 gallon tank for a single goldfish. 2. You should NOT buy a single goldfish. They need company.
I’m amazed how people want to take an exotic animal but also can’t bother to search what’s good for a normal cat.
These people listen to breeders that think you can keep them in a bedroom
Asher Karr People are under the impression that a cat should just take care of itself. You can just let it outside during the day and leave it alone in your house, feed it dry food. Cats need indoors enrichment and should never be left to their own devices outdoors, and they need lots of things indoors to keep them mentally stimulated. It’s very sad that cats are rescued, adopted, or bought, just to be kept in a house that does not suit their needs, or just to be kept outdoors.
@@arnicamoana7861 Correct. But cats are not inanimate objects: they are 'he' or 'she', just like humans.
Dinar AndFriends If that’s what you prefer. But they don’t care, so I don’t gender animals. If they gave a shit I might.
We let our cat outside because she grew up out there she constantly begs to go out and play in the leaves or hunt
Good for you to bring up this horrible problem
Sophia Gallagher we have the same last name
Grrr GRRR haha
What
There is one who forced her Fennec fox to become a vegetarian it pissed me off >:( because she said "oh hes allergic to meat that's why hes so skinny"
Masked Cassie that makes me mad to.
Masked Cassie who?
@@emily-gf5gg ya I dont like sayin her name cus it pisses me off >.
@@koac9699 ya I have a friend who used to own a Fennec fox hes a youtuber aswell and he took really care of his Fennec fox gave him the best 10 years of his life
I mean, I've seen animals be allergic to meats - but usually with animals like cats and such, owners & their vet work on finding a type that their animal can handle!
I don’t think people realize how strong primates actually are
Emily C No doubt about that. They can rip your arms off as easily as snapping a carrot. However, just like with all other animals, they’ll only attacked when they feel threatened, which is almost always a human’s fault for doing something quite idiotic. It’s really sad because primates are extremely intelligent, yet we just see them as “banana-lovers”
yeh that Schwarzenegger guy is pretty buff for the average primate lol seriously though ALL wild animals are strong, want evidence just go and try to reel in a 6 inch trout or wrestle an 8 foot python . . . their lives often literally depend on the strength and agility/ability to escape. We humans used to have that strength of course, but thousands of generations later we have things like Country X's Biggest Loser, where we gather round and thank some deity that we aren't as obese as the contestants . . .
Miss Cypher Chimpanzees are straight up crazy though. Very unpredictable and very capable of violence. It’s like trying to keep a “smart” tiger or polar bear. It’s still a dangerous predator that could fly off the handle one day in captivity, unprovoked.
John Doe Humans’ main physical attribute wasn’t necessarily our speed or strength, but our stamina. We were endurance runners that could jog sprinting prey into exhaustion and we hunted in packs.
@@MsScarletwings Some of the smallest birds fly non-stop hundreds or thousands of miles, twice a year. THOUSANDS of miles, often over water, where they don't even have a choice to rest.. Nice try with your rather specious logic. chirp chirp
I instantly started crying when she talked about mass extinction. It hurts me so much... These animals deserve our planet more then we do.
Which is why we need to take care of our planet!
i did too...
Hosea 4 prophecy of the bible.. Yes this is very sad..
I think animals and humans can live in harmony, it is clear in Gods word that we must care for this earth and all that live on it.
@@eilissmith8591 The Old Testament? lol you mean the same book with women turning into hunks of salt, feeding thousands with a couple of fish, and 900 year old men? Oh yeah and an ark where ALL the animals got saved? Sure, whatever floats your boat I guess haha . . . can we get some heavenly love for bedbugs, anopheles mosquitoes, and cockroaches? How about slugs?
My uncle had a coyote as a pet he "rescued" as a pup... Kept it in a dog kennel its whole life. When it got out one day it went straight to attack him, and he shot it dead. Yeah... People think they'll have a nice Disney level experience when they rescue an animal. They usually don't. Take them to a wildlife rehab center instead.
X X yep I rescued my Royal Python from a family member. It was so skinny when I received her
maybe because it was kept in a kennel its whole life, wouldnt you go crazy too
MaeSnow or maybe it’s because it’s an animal taken from the wild
Not to sound rude but what did he expect?
If you were kidnapped when you were young and kept in a small enclosure your entire life, wouldn't you attack your captor when you had the chance?
Sad that it had a life of nothing but sitting in a cage and then killed.
Xx_Sophi Giovanna_xX I know. You can also responsibly keep these animals. Do your research.
This is such a serious problem
@Musta Krackish Yes it is? So many species of animals are dying each day and there is so much animal abuse in the world. If you don't think it's a problem you're sick.
Musta Krackish it kinda is if you think about it
serious? not really. not compared to the 1.5 million healthy dogs and cats euthanized in shelters around the US each year.
@Musta Krackish the exotic animal trade is why Florida (the state in which I live) is infested with invasive species. Including actual monkeys and pythons. So yeah.
@@Discodoos you cant compare to really serious problems. their both just as bad as the other doesnt mean that they both cant get recognized as a problem
The pet trade is absolutely disgusting. " Oh look it's so cute I want to OWN IT!"... It's vulgar
Musta Krackish Really? This isn’t even about eating animals, we are talking about how horrible the exotic pet trade and care is. How about you leave your comments to yourself?
@Musta Krackish Am I supposed to take offense or...?
@Musta Krackish I'm confused, was that meant to be an insult? If you think having respect for the sentient beings we share our planet with and choosing to cause as little suffering towards them as possible is a negative trait, you're fucked in the head.
Musta Krackish Cry more
@Musta Krackish how about either thinking before talking or not talking at all? The latter surely would make this a better place for the rest of us.
My brother was doing an interview at this rich dudes house, and an obese lemur flew out of nowhere and bit his face. And the guy shrugged and was like "oh sorry he does that". The guy was feeding it cheetos. He also wasn't vaccinated for rabies. Ugh.
You cannot vaccinate a primates the vaccine is only good for dogs and cats well you can vaccinate them but if they bite someone won't stop them from being killed to be tested
Clayton Paisley that makes me sick
I'm sorry but the way you worded that just made me howl with laughter.
Stacy is great. I love everything she does for all the animals who are injured or just need a home
I love how you use your platform and following to address issues like these, most people don't know what happens to these animals when the camera is off...Btw the footage from the sanctuary was so nice and cute :))
The 7th mass extinction like wtf😲
I’d like to say though that Juniper Fox’s owner only owns foxes that have been rescued from fur farms. She doesn’t support the pet trade.
@EccentricSage Both the woman in this ridiculous video, Juniper Fox, and I Am Puma collect the animals they WANT, they are not doing this out of benevolence. Take Puma's video, read the fn description "That's how a sincere child's dream came true in some absolutely wonderful way! I still can't believe it." Plus, they are milking donations from naive people like you to do it. Just because they claim something is 'rescued' doesn't mean they are a charity. Furthermore, Puma's cheetah is in a really crappy environment.
@@melissasmith6762 interesting perspective.... Maybe she has more than just exotic animals, but to rescue/collect only exotic animals might say something about intent... or they might be the only ones some people can reach that are qualified to do this work... idk...
@@alicethemadrabbit1842 Some people actually like keeping exotic animals. That armadillo was no 'rescue', they will cost you thousands. I've been trying to find one for 2 years!
She supports the pet trade by posting videos of "owning" foxes. makes people want one for themselves, therefore perpetuating the pet trade.
@@stacyfiske7903 She constantly repeats why foxes make terrible pets lmao
It's also important to note that not all those species going extinct are animals. Plants are going extinct at an ALARMING rate.... And without plants animals can't survive. So make sure you're also supporting conservation efforts for plants, as they are ridiculously underfunded. Which is probably why plants are going extinct faster than animals.
Also this includes seed banks and the research around them! Because even just preserving the seeds is helpful, but also we don't know how long seeds of various plants can be stored and have them still germinate. So seed banks need funding both for the upkeep of the storage and to add inventory, but also for them to study the seeds they are storing, and methods of preservation.
Are there any organisations you’d recommend supporting in particular?
I’m glad someone addressed this!
I love when she spoke about the opossums. Sweet little animals.
Me too. I saw someone on fb some time ago post a pic of one in their crawl space saying they were going to stomp it to death. Made me so mad.
I adore opossums! I have a few that stroll my fence at night that I feed, hopefully they will be my friends soon.
Yeah why do they have a reputation for ugliness? They're cute enough, even behaviorally I think their 'playing dead' tactic is adorable
@@Onigirli: Sorry, I think the Australian ones are a couple of orders of magnitude cuter than the American. Ours are very cute. (Yours do get some points for the babies clinging to the mother's tail.) By the way, I've got a couple of possum videos, one is called, "Brazen thief caught on camera."
It would be illegal in Australia to stomp a possum to death. You could even be charged with animal cruelty if you deliberately tortured an introduced pest animal although, I suspect that, in practice, charges are rarely laid.
They eat ticks, too. If you don't want lyme disease, learn to love an opossum! :)
A couple weeks ago a young mother said "I need to get rid of all these cats so I can get a puppy"
So all the cats have to re-home and be ripped of their safety and territory so you can have a puppy which grows into a dog which you have to walk?
Well no, the mother can just put the dog in some adoption clinic once the novelty of puppyhood wears off :) Everybody wins
@@Onigirli Except they dont. They often just, abandon the dog. Or abuse it. Refuse to train it.
Most strays were once family pets.
And I despise it.
Hello Sweetheart why couldn’t she just get a puppy and keep the cats I mean if puppies grow up with cats they’ll get used to it
@@crckhead420blzit6 As much as I agree that if you get another animal, if you introduce them properly they will get use to it. But the most concerning fact was that she's ready to throw away her pets like out dated toys and get a puppy the 'new shiny toy' with no concern or care for her previous pets. It really shows how she doesn't want a pet but a plaything. (Plus she sounds like she shouldn't have pets period.)
As a reptile keeper, and rescuer
I can extremely relate.
My most common animal in my home are chameleons, 10 of them named after the chameleon in tangled . It was such a shame seeing them suffering when I first got them.
Yeehaw Gomez That’s sad. I rescue leos, and almost all are impulse buys because they’re so cheap.
Ah yes, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal, Pascal and Pascal.
...I presume you number them.
Tigerstripes175 , what a shame. Crested geckos are the Easiest reptile to care for in the trade. I feel horrible for the little guy, I wish you luck finding your herp
I was watching and they are so adorable.People in this world can abuse these wonderful animals that they can't take care of them and im glad of you doing this
"I have two children. One would give you the shirt off his back, the other would eat you in a plain crash." Lol
THIS is the kind of animal post that we should be seeing on social media.
Thank you.
I agree 💯
Man Australia burning down we losing animals by the seconds save as many as we can please 😭🥺🙏🏼 🌍 💔
Aroz Con Pollo
Amen 🙏🏼
Save our species 🐨
Save the kangaroos and koalas!!
Aroz Con Pollo yes! I’m so sad! In week ten of school I’m going to KI to look for small animals on our cameras during the night. then flick through and analyse the data to see how many animals are still there, that we can see. It’s a 5 day project and I’m so excited to be able to help out the KI scientists with their research
@@maijapitcher7413 there are more animals that are endangered in Australia than just those 2. It's assumed that entire species were wiped out.
EccentricSage hmmmm actually no.... p.s are you even Aussie?? If not, you wouldn’t know
I'm scared of most animals (Giant dogs, and just big and powerful animals in general) but I'd be willing to help them in any way I can.
Murranda Dodson that is so kind of you. I have met many people who have been the same way. I was walking outside with my friend (who is younger than me) and we saw a big pit bull running towards us. She started to scream and got behind me. I’m a huge animal lover so I study many animals. From what I saw, the dog was showing no type of aggression, so I just stood their. He was the sweetest dog I have ever met. He literally stopped in front of me and sat their as I gave him rubs. My friend was in shock 😂😂
Ay Elton, Been watching TFILfor ages now and just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for constantly evolving, for being passionate and not in it for the money and fame and for getting so many people out of their own little dark worlds with your vids. Keep shining brother!
An intelligent, knowledgeable and sensible American. She's a rare breed.
IM so proud of you for posting this is the videos everyone needs to watch😭😭💕👏🏻
This is so cute I'm so glad that someone showed people what's going on in the world
I wouldn't call it cute.
@Kim Lincicum - follow the money - not everything we see and or hear is true even if it sounds as though it is.
Hey now- dont include Juniper the fox in this. Her owner often talks about how horrible and wretched it can be to live with foxes. She screams, they all smell terrible, theyll pee on everything (including her head), they bite, they arent like dogs, theyre honestly t e r r i b l e. They look really cute and fun but lord have mercy, once you read one of those reality check posts she often posts, its game changing
Why put ANYONE in this? You see that your preferred exotic pet owner shouldn't be in this but the rest of us should?
@@melissasmith6762 if the owners show the true hell of taking care of exotic pets, then they shouldnt be included in stuff like this. If someone shows just how stressful it is to properly take care of exotics, they are doing it right. People who truly want exotic pets won't be deterred by "oh my god this s u c k s, they piss everywhere, they are just little demons" because they'll have other reasons than "just for the clout"
Deadpanann ! It isn't always "hell" taking care of exotics. I had a potbellied pig, wolf hybrid, blue and gold Macaw, skunk and 2 possums. All rescues. It wasn't "pure hell" taking care of any of them and saying that would also be a lie. What isn't a lie, is the fact that an exotic isn't for everyone. In fact, I believe few people can handle exotics. They can and many times do have a different temperament than domestic animals, and can be a handful at times. It took a lot of patience to get my wolf to live with my cats, but it happened. And we always had to be 3 steps ahead of the pig in thought. The macaw was never kept in a cage (she knew how to take them apart anyway), but we also had to make sure anything dangerous to her curiosity was put away.
Having exotics definitely isn't anywhere near hell, but if you don't do your homework and don't have the patience, you're pretty much doomed to fail.
@@thenewcenturyhomeste I think you actually agree with each other they’re just over emphasising to get the point across that not everyone should just dive into getting an exotic pet and Juniper’s owner is one of the responsible, honest, real owners out there.
Thank you! Totally said my piece on Junipers mom too.
I’m so thankful for this woman and her family❤️
I absolutely love these types of videos. Education is what we need on these animals and why we really shouldn’t have them as pets.
Thanks Elton for these videos.
Never understood why anyone would want a pet monkey. That's like having a toddler and saying "You know, I like changing diapers, baby proofing the house, and dealing with tantrums all day. But wouldn't it be great if it had the energy of a ferret and could climb walls?"
as a preteen and teenager I desperately wanted a pet spider monkey, now I'm grown up with two children under 6.....I think I must have been delusional
i want a monkey lol
The saddest part is most people don’t want a pet monkey, they want to turn a money into a human.
And that wall climbing toddler is extremely strong, too! I've seen pictures of the injuries a pet capuchin can cause. The video channels doesn't tell you how difficult they are to handle. And when they turn 7, capuchins starts to be very wild. It's why we almost never see a fully grown monkey in any channel. Because they are thrown into a cage and no-one dares to let them out.
I would love to have a monkey, not as a pet, but as a companion animal. There IS a difference. Yes, Monkeys require a LOT of specialized care....constant supervision, constant attention. And monkeys live in hierarchies; you have to maintain discipline. That action that is SO cute when they are tiny babies, isn't so cute when they are a 20# toddler. They WILL take advantage of any break in your rules.....and try to climb up the hierarchy ladder above you.
This place deserves a show to bring awareness. Thank you for all you do. StaySafe&Blessings🦋
Thank you. This is extremely important for everyone out there who doesnt understand what happens when you try to own an exotic pet, aka a wild animal.
Fun Fact: goldfish can live over 10 years but people care so little that they usually only last 5 months.
I can confirm. In fifth grade, we all got guppies for a science unit, and while most peoples died within a short time, mine lived for over three years because I actually cared about him and put in the effort. It really isn't that hard, I wish people would put in a little more effort when caring for animals
Come to Australia and do a documentary on the bushfires (when it’s safe to do so)
I used to volunteer at Animal Tracks in high school through a progam at my school. They really do care for thier animals and I am so glad they are doing well now 10 years later.
I sometimes wonder if some people deliberately abuse animals and then stage a rescue just for views and subs on TH-cam...
You know it could be true.
There is one...damn I can’t remember the name...but it’s a channel in India and they have puppies being “rescued” but if you watch a few videos you see it’s the same puppies!
popular youtuber jacob feder is already doing that.
@@calamitynatalie8590 You mean hope for paws??? 😳 If it's true im going to be sick...
@@calamitynatalie8590 oh god... It is hope for paws, they're NOT legitimate! 💔😠 People have donated and the money went somewhere else and dogs died according to some articles.. 😭 💔
Thank you for bringing attention to an important manner
Elton absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for caring for these precious animals! ❤
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been a veterinarian for 25 years, and I wish that everyone who considers owning a wild animal would watch this first. You are doing a vital service by bringing attention to this travesty. Wild animals are not pets, and they are not status symbols. What these people are doing is cruel and narcissistic. There should be a huge push to prosecute people who smuggle these animals to the fullest extent of the law - and the laws need to be much more punitive - make it so the cost of getting caught makes the money they get pale in comparison to the point where it’s just not worth the risk.
All of my exotic animals are pets. Who are you to tell me otherwise Dr. Paduch? Is this what you tell your clients who bring in sugar gliders and other common exotic pets? Are do you think they are somehow different from less common exotic pets, other than being common?
Just to be clear:
Certain exotic pets *can* be happy in a domestic environment when treated right. Primates are an example of exotic animals that simply cannot thrive as pets, whereas ferrets are an example of exotic animals that can. Just do your research before getting any animal.
Many people don't realize ferrets are stinky
@@windwhisprz Ferrets that have been descented (most ferrets sold at pet stores have been descented and altered at about 2-3 weeks old) can not "poof", which is a lot like a skunk spraying without the fluid....but their coats still have a scent. Personally I love the Ferret Smell (and their tails smell different!!!) but it's definately NOT for everyone.
I'm so glad she included the part about the wolf wolf/dog.
So tired of people thinking that they can care for a wolf. Or even worse, that they actually own(ed) one.
Your dog is not a wolf
Yes! I'm following several wolfdog owners on Instagram, and they constantly make posts about how much they differ from ordinary dogs. It's a real eye-opener
You made me cry Uncle Elton. It’s so beautiful what these people do for animals❤️ I love seeing videos like this of people loving and treating animals how they should be treated
Es de vital importancia que existan éste tipo de canales, divulgar el verdadero drama de las especies tomadas como mascotas.
Gracias por su labor.
to show the account juniperfoxx is not fair. She safed the foxes from furrfarms and educates people about foxes. That they aren't pets and that they are not harmless. She made multiple posts about how hard it is to give them a good life. But nice video
Pretty sure it was just to show how many followers exotic pet owners can get.
thank you! I was waiting for a comment like this - her foxes are rescued and no longer able to return to the wild, she provides great care for them
@@AdeleR-zv9bcyou are so right, but if you don't know her it could send the wrong message. It is the memory of that negative context that lasts.
@@HannaLottaLove True
That is if this video gets bigger than her instagram. Then they will associate her with the "negative connotation."
Juniper Fox does a lot educating on exotic animals and often shows the true side of owning those animals. Her foxes were rescues or domesticated so they were never wild.
MOST exotic mammals were never wild, so why is this video talking shit about ALL of us?
Foxes are not domestic animals.
@@zernadarkwolf there are domesticated foxes.
@@zernadarkwolf It's not that simple! There is no distinct line between a 'domesticated' animal and non-domesticated animal like you think.
@@melissasmith6762 they say it takes 4 generations to domesticate a wild animal. ALL exotic animals are wild. Show me your proof that 'MOST exotic mammals were never wild.' WTF are you talking about?? and you... 'looking for an armadillo for 2 years!!' you ARE the problem.
Really wish I could visit these amazing animals, unfortunately I live in South Africa 😞... Big thumbs up for all the hard work and dedication to these beautiful animals ❤️
Thank you so much for giving Gods beautiful creatures a loving place to be themselves. Very heartfelt video. Big Thanks to you all💓
I love these documentaries ❤ it's amazing seeing influencers using their platform to raise money and awareness of issues like these. :)
Ways to help: don't buy something that is born to be wild. Let them live their lives in the wild, not in a cage.
Love this video, I never knew how bad this issues was. Thanks TFIL ❤you guys
As some who now rescues in sugar gliders, I've seen the lack of care first hand pretty frequently, luckily nothing too severe yet. Thank you for this video. It's needed for everyone to see when they see how cool exotic animals are. Do your research guys 💛
I could listen to this woman talk all day. She's doing such important work, and she seems to really know her stuff.
I just love videos involving animals so much. Beautiful work they're doing for these animals 😍
We need more videos like this TFIL!!!! This video deserves more views.
I really do appreciate this video. One big thing is not only are exotic animals hard to keep and often mistreated, but exotic rescues and sanctuaries are QUITE rare in many places.
This was really helpful to see I definitely hope they are able to get a bigger facility to help more animals in need. Bless all of them that are doing all they can to help save these animals.
I love this video but I do have one problem. Juniper The Fox is owned by a wild animal rehabber. The woman that runs the page is very adamant about animal welfare and not having a fox yourself. Her foxes do live in her house but she also has outdoor enclosures for them to get enrichment. She has her foxes because she rescued them from either fur farms of because they couldn’t be placed back in the wild and thrive.
@Alyse Blend - you forgot to state the "one problem" you have.
Dr. donna Walter the problem was that juniper fox shows up in the video of one of the “insta-pet” fox owners when she is not, but I’m sure it was a simple mistake. Her page is very popular but She is very adamant about people NOT keeping foxes. She only has the animals she keeps because they could not be introduced back into the wild safely. And she gives them a beautiful enriching home.
Uncle Elton is truly an angel sent down form above
What a beautiful human, inside and out
I am so glad I saw this Stacy is one of the most generous people out there especially with animals, I have known her since I was like 12 and I’m 17 now and I am so proud that she now will get more people to go on her tour with all of those animals
She deserves it
Those eleven dislikes were people whose phones were upside down
This is why I want to specialize in exotic animals 🥺🤍
Thank you Elton for posting this and sharing it with people it means a lot to me ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝
Good for you,Elton! It makes me so happy to see you using your channel to spread awareness about animal abuse and neglect in the show and social media industries! bravo,my dude! Bravo.
No kidding, most people can't even take care of a fish. They think you can just drop it in water and feed it pellets. It's sad that pet ownership is legal with zero training or certification :/ Especially with dogs and cats, who not only can be dangerous to the environment and to the safety of other living creatures, but often abused because of impulse buying which leads to a terribly unregulated market and ownership...
Omg ELTON what a wonderful beautiful educational video, your such a caring person and this is content is just as awesome as all the other well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖
Im grateful for this videos.. So many have zero clue how much it takes to care for an exotic animal. We have 16 rescued animal's half of them being exotic. An they are my life from the time I wake up to the time I sleep. You give up so much to care for animals. I truly understand how big her and her teams hearts are. Please keep videos like this coming! They make a HUGE impact! Thank you ELTON!
This is the first time a TFIL video has made me cry.
We need more people like this woman in the world.
11:45 my school is taking a trip to Costa Rica this year to volunteer and raise money for stuff like this.
Orsal Stone I know this sounds weird, and you don’t have to answer, but what school do you go to because my school is going to Costa Rica in June.
@@ughwhatever142 I go to a high school in NH
If you want to raise money why turn around and waste thousands of dollars on place tickets, hmmm? Not the best way to save the planet either, considering the carbon footprint of air travel . . . maybe have another look from a different angle and do some REAL good? You're just patting yourself on the back thinking you're doing good, but I hate to break it to you . . . you're not. Sorry and all that but yeah
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 and why are you lecturing a teenager about this?
@@nobrainsnoheadache2434 then again I've seen you replying to other people saying other ridiculous things so you're probably a troll.
The women in the video were extremely well spoken. What an amazing organization. Incredible video, Elton.
TFIL documentaries are so underrated. These are unique and informative.
This is so sad seeing all these animals in captivity.
All of the animals in this video were the cutes animals that I’ve ever seen
I'm so inspired! It is so easy to give into fear and feel helpless, but I love the optimism! Thank you for fueling my spirit! We can turn this around!
absolutely...beautiful. FINALLY. a youtuber who uses their fame/wealth to spread actual awareness about a topic rather than saying something and moving on.
''They shouldn't be in your living room, they should be in the jungle!''
I swear to god Elton ur gonna make me cry
I’d give the world to work at or run a sanctuary like this. Love the work you do, we need more places like this.
I'm so happy that you guys are covering stuff like this!!
people need to do their research 🤦♀️
I wish people would take care of exotic pets, they are a commitment not just for being cute
This heartbreaking but I'm so glad this sanctuary exists to give these animals the home and care they deserve
My boyfriend loves to watch TFIL, and I’m not going to lie, I thought that the videos where annoying (simply not my style) but seeing this has changed my opinion this type of video and calmer editing style is amazing and right up my alley. It really shows that talented people can appeal to a variety of audiences.
i love the fox he is so cute
all of the animals are cute
Animals have bounced back from near extinction to a population of millions, just look at deer and fur seals. Nature has an incredible ability to recover, we just need to give her a chance.
Elton this is amazing. I absolutely love that you are using your platform for so many amazing causes. You are awesome.
Elton I'm happy you exist. You make me believe there are good people in the world. People really don't know what abuse does to animals and people.
Omg no😢
They are so cute...
just me that went "aww" when i seen the tarantula ? ive had mine for about 12yrs
Female, then. What species?
@@TheBaconWizard yep chilean rose / rose hair depending what you call it
As an arachnophobe I don't flinch when it's a tarantula. No idea why, maybe it's their fur/thiccness. Maybe it's spindly-ness that creeps me out
@@Onigirli YES, spindly spiders creep me out but I have a friend who owns a tarantula :)
Thank you for this Elton. Thank you for using your platform to help these poor animals
Literally love the lady that runs that place. She is literally making the world a better place for animals and not only that but she's saving animals lives
I have no sympathy for people who impulse buy animals like they're products and not living beings.
If it's in the wild, don't own it simple as that
This makes me so sad bro ..
I am so glad you are getting the word out to not put wild animals in the home. God bless you and the work you will continue to do.
I will always appreciate you for using your platform the way you do 🙌
