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.

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?

I'd say the largest part is operating a 'sanctuary' for wild animals that are illegal to own as pets in the state they were located in and treating them like pets and making efforts to adopt them out to other people as pets. She had issue with neighbors that she chronicled as well.

Snark Reddits rarely get big or active enough unless the person is constantly doing things that can be nitpicked- like Ballerina farms and Mikayla Nogueira. If anyone drove her to thins I'd say it's far more likely people she personally knew that she burned, or involved in her business, or other rescuers in the space who vehemently oppose the way she was doing things.

Edit: I feel bad for her child as well because they'd let the foxes inside at times and being foxes they'd piss all over everything. No child should be exposed to that.

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. Seems more like a scapegoat to me, but anyways that's my two cents

I hate Reddit. I don't think most normal people deserve some sort of obsessive seething and machinations from retards. But truthfully if you're so fragile that fake rumors make you an hero, why are you putting yourself out there, exposing your body even online? It's extremely rare I go for the "bully" being to blame for a suicide, and I think it's to the detriment of society that we now treat suicide cases like they are some super sweet and special martyr. Truthfully I think most people who suicide are extremely narcissistic and selfish. And if anywhere should be hesitant to hoist people on their own petard because a mentally ill person an hero'd, you would think it would be Kiwifarms.

Being harassed by the Internet is usually not "some meanie said something mean." If you get the attention of a crowd that hates you and knows where your business is / where you live, and you're not a digital nomad that can just fuck off to Ukraine for a few years or whatever, it can genuinely ruin your life. KF's rule against touching the cow is in my opinion the most important differentiator from so-called snark communities. I wouldn't fuck with you niggers if it was acceptable here to go out and actually harass people.

How many foxes did she have? They might end up getting euthanized.

Ouch guys, I’m genuinely offended.

Looks like a rave/EDC loving pothead who gunts for Ethan Klein. Hmmm

Her husband is still running the thing so I assume they'll be fine, he says that in the video. That being said that video is a really tough thing to watch.

These are all fake.

Also, she should've quit the interwebs, the husband failed her (proof:

Ethan has vowed to continue her legacy and the mission of the rescue.

) and the the rapy has been evidently a scam (it always is). If you're getting BULLIED on the online to the point of considering sudoku, log the fuck off.

Sometimes yes, but if the husband is undeterred, then he must have let her bear the brunt of the harassment. What a quq.

Uhhhh first off, it’s a forum. Second, you nigger, I’m on an Atkins diet and -

This retard is taking credit for the kill:

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.

*As I am looking, I get the sense this is a pooner.

Of course there is a troon fleg

 

[Jarch6]

“normie”-Reddit has an infinitely higher kill count than the farms even if we count the fake an hero’s like Byuu. Regardless, fuck these people, I HATE troonkikes who pretend to know everything and nitpick normal interactions with animals rather than going after actual animal abuse à la chinsect cat torture.

Well you got me on that one, I wouldn't have a clue, since I have no desire to broadcast my life online. But if I were to have an anvil fall on my head tomorrow and don't become a drooling retard as a result but somehow develop the desire to broadcast my life and get a bunch of haters, I think I would either a) ignore them or b) log off for a while. But who knows maybe I'm the crazy one lol?

Not condoning the harassment and yes reddit fucking sucks, but husband probably chose to ignore a lot of warning signs with her. That's all I'm getting at, I'm usually critical at these stories of the internet drove someone to suicide just like with Byuu or Near or whatever the fuck his name was.

 

[beautiful person]

She was probably a nutcase, obviously a whore, and maybe wasn't actually very good at what she was attempting to do, but Redditors literally aren't even people. Fuck 'em. I'm glad they're getting heat for this, even though it'll lead to literally nothing.

Reddit is going to get sued one day for negligence and they're going to get fucked.

She had issue with neighbors that she chronicled as well.

I'm not surprised. My parents have foxes where they live, and when they bark at each other, they sound like fucked up dogs.

 

[clara red bottoms]

I'm pretty sure she has/had an investigation opened up against by the taxman for intentionally misclassifying her charity. Its been awhile since I've heard anything about her so I haven't kept up with the drama.

Paying tax is gay. She's a real nigga for that spin move

 

[Angelicaster]

it's KazeoLion worth of a thread? unsure if s(?)he is responsible for this but the way how s(?)he is taking the situation looks accurate for a tranny lolcow

 

[Pokemon Conquistador]

There are no bullies like animal rights trolls bullies. You can see an ordinary video of someone petting a cat and trolls will accuse the video maker of Mengele-level animal abuse. There are some trolls who think even keeping pets is a form of abuse. I strongly suspect the people who bullied Mikayla were either jealous of her, or people who got a rise out of attacking an obviously vulnerable person.

Bullies make you lose your faith in humanity. I was bullied in school and the worst part wasn't knowing that some of my bullies were doing it for pleasure, it was knowing that some of them were casually knee-jerk bullying me for no reason at all and continuing with their day as though nothing had happened.

Have to verify the sperging account on BlueSky is his and not someone trying to signal boost his asshattery. I’d say observe and watch how things flesh out and go from there. There’s always these faggots orbiting happenings who are edgy terminally online types and double down like some of the school shooter and 764 adjacent assholes but they don’t always last long or become full on cows.

Urbanites will say stuff like this and then expect to be taken serious, you clearly never lived in a farm if you are this worried about animal piss. No, my guy, fox piss is not a form of psychological torture, not much difference than when a dog pisses outside where he is supposed to in your house.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Fox piss ain't got shit on maned wolf piss. A zoo in the Netherlands one time got a visit from the police because maned wolf urine smells exactly like weed. At least fox pee won't have the cops on your ass.

 

[POWER IN MISERY]

OF hoe action or not this shit makes me sad. animal rehabbing is a brutal, thankless, heartbreaking endeavor and it fucks people up that do it with their best intentions. reddit should be a continent away if it's something you're involved with.

they hated jesus because he told them the truth.
