Mikayla Raines, founder of the popular animal rescue organization Save A Fox and a well-known YouTuber, has died by suicide, her husband Ethan Raines confirmed in a heartbreaking video uploaded to the Save A Fox YouTube channel on June 23, 2025.

Mikayla, who was known for her tireless work rescuing and caring for foxes and other exotic animals, had been battling severe mental health conditions including depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder. According to Ethan, despite years of therapy and various medications, she continued to struggle with daily life and emotional regulation.
In his emotional 11-minute statement, Ethan revealed that Mikayla had been the target of a prolonged online harassment campaign. The abuse reportedly came not only from strangers but also from individuals within her personal life and others in the animal rescue community.

“They spread false rumors, and being the sensitive person she was, it deeply affected her,” Ethan said. “She tried for years to push through the pain, but this time it was too much.”

Mikayla is survived by Ethan, their daughter Freya, and the many animals she cared for at Save A Fox’s Minnesota and Florida locations. Ethan has vowed to continue her legacy and the mission of the rescue.

Fans and fellow animal lovers expressed shock and sorrow online, paying tribute to Mikayla’s impact on the rescue community.

Reddit has been enabling behaviour worse than allowed on the Kiwi Farms ever since they doxed innocent people when attempting to find the Boston bombers. Nothing is going to happen to that shithole of a site because there is one set of standards for them and one set of standards for us.

Well that and many of them are also federal bureaucrats.

There is a lot in his?* Reddit profile, should be easy to verify if he is the same Kazeo Lion as I am finding on a bunch of other sites, especially furry sites.

Says he lives in North Georgia.

I don't like this...

You know who probably did? r/losercity

Also it should be mentioned in the video the husband mentioned the bullying coming from friends and fellow rescue people in their circle, not the snark subreddit for what it is worth. Sounds like a bunch of immature women and Soyboy being gossip queens to me.

P'nut's owners weren't posing with him for softcore porn, but also fuck Reddit.

Although from the sounds of this Tumblr may be most responsible with Reddit only being partially responsible.

Not the first time Tumblr has been the source of someone getting harassed to the point of suicide. Happened to a Steven Universe fanartist a decade ago. She survived the attempt, thankfully.

That's very possible. It is also possible that people close to her were becoming concerned with troubling patterns. Sex work, animal work, and a small child are an unhealthy combo, and we should be far past pretending that that is normal or desirable.

People ask why I am a Philosophical Pessimist (think Rust Cohle but without the Matthew McConoughey looks and gravitas) and it's shit like this story that I point to. Why would I ever want to bring someone into this shitshow where someone who is actively doing good for the world is bullied into suicide just so some anonymous asshole can have a laugh for a minute and then go on with his day?

True, and frankly it is entirely possible the husband himself was a source of distress. No marriage is perfect afterall and a guilty spouse would look to shift blame.

Not enough data, further mining needed.

She also had BPD which if you ever date someone with it, good luck on having a normal relationship.

All I want to know, is what were these people accusing her of?

 

[Hungry Fox]

What a horrible, horrible thing. actual scum like liz-fong jones gets to perpetuate his awful, evil, malicious nonsense yet a woman who just wants to help a few foxes not be killed and skinned for their fur gets bullied to suicide by redditors????

 

[RollerGator]

I'm like that nigga from blade runner. Except instead of hunting robots, I hunt Reddit posters.

Me: Heh... keep lying, it's time for the test.
Redditor: What.. what test?
Me: The NIGGER test!
Redditor: NOOOOO!

This website is just reddit for people who say nigger. The same phenotype of "errm actually" nerd guys inhabit this place.

Apparently keeping animals in poor conditions and hoarding them instead of saving, mostly.

There's some good posts in the animal breeding horror thread that make her seem a lot worse than what you'd see in her videos, but who knows how true that info is and even if true, it doesn't make it better that redditors can bully mentally ill women into suicide without any consequence. Reddit is going to get sued one day for negligence and they're going to get fucked.

I've watched some of her videos and yeah I give her credit she was atleast "trying" to do some good things. However, I don't doubt she was probably a major pain in the ass to everyone when the cameras went off. I usually avoid animal wuvers, because a lot of the times they can be the shittiest human beings imaginable, and the only reason they love animals is because there the only things than can stand being around them and can't tell them to stfu. A lot of narcs are known for loving animals so yeah... As for the abuse allegations at SaveAFox I honestly don't know, but it wouldn't shock me. There's been a lot of animal sanctuaries that have had YouTube presences and have been shut down for having horrible living conditions for the animals they claim to care soOoOo much about. Not saying this one did, but if dirt comes out later, I wouldn't be shocked.

Either way RIP, and husband is delusional if he thinks some internet person bullied his wife to death. I guarantee there's a lot more to this than just some meanie on Reddit said something mean to his wife and she an hero'd herself. Imo she's probably had severe mental illness for years and has been neglecting it. This mean Reddit trolls killed my wife explanation seems more like a scapegoat to me, but anyways that's my two cents
