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.

It's not even wrong. Redditors and kiwis are both primarily women and feminine men. Piss off a redditor or a kiwi and they will look up your posting history until they find something they can screenshot to farm ratings/karma.

"UH wanna explain why you posted *this*?"


This is the problem with sites where people post to get approval instead of just saying what they think. You end up with feminine social policing.

I know that Black was taken out of school and homeschooled for two years.

She could have left the internet if she didn’t like cyberbullying. But I guess BPD makes people want a community anywhere.

BPD isn't real. There's a shocking lack of scientific rigor with personality disorders. And the idea it's caused by "trauma" is questionable as well. They might as well be talking about zodiac signs.

We know that Mikayla had the money to house the animals properly, but chose not to, instead siphoning off donation money for exotic pets and sports cars. That's not failing to be perfect, that's morally bankrupt and completely antithetical to how she represented her charity to the public.

Thank you for writing this. I swear, so many people on this thread are braindead and are just going with the pathetic and fake narrative that the Reddit Troonmaniti bullied a poor autistic woman with a big heart for animals to death just because they'll never be real women and are simply jealous. Mikayla and her retarded husband had over a million dollars, yet it seemed like every other week, Fuck A Fox would organize an e-begging fundraiser claiming they needed more money for the poor little foxes or else they'd starve to death in a pile of their feces. Here's a novel idea: either spend some of the money yourself or quit adding foxes to the fox hoard. It's not rocket science. The constant grifting from that organization was pathetic as fuck. I'm willing to bet that the real reason the husband is crying is not because his wife is dead, if anything he's probably thrilled he'll never have to be subjected to one of her BPD rages again, but because his paypig is gone and now he's going to have to sell his fancy sports car and get a real job. For all the people writing on this thread that the foxes made happy noises, so therefore she couldn't have been a monster. Guess what? All those "happy" foxes are most likely going to be dead in a couple of months because hubby is too much of a boring sped to continue the mission successfully, and it's unlikely that another shelter will be able to take in all of those foxes. Most can barely take care of the animals they already have, so expecting them to take in a couple hundred foxes is naive as fuck. All those foxes that were so happy to see her in the videos? They'll be getting the death penalty. Anybody who has heard of Fuck A Fox before this thread was created would know what a collasal bitch Mikayla was and the horrible and easily preventable fates that befell a lot of the animals in her "care".

I knew I was going to get burnt with my original post on this thread because ofc animals wuvers almost always have dark secrets. And ofc this one is no exception in light of the OnlyFans zoosadist adjacent photos that got dropped. To be fair to myself, I was hesitant to take sides in this, but still I need to atone for my sins. And atone I shall. To pay for my sins I have created a very special grave for a very special individual.

Late as hell, but your post was the first post I read that restored my faith in this entire jackass thread, so thank you too. I laughed my ass off from it. Sorry you got downvoted to hell, apparently the people on this thread feel that being one rung above the troons on the ladder of degeneracy is some huge accomplishment that we should all be proud of. These same people would probably have the same reaction if a serial killer ended up getting bullied to death by troons. "Hey, Jack Ripper may have been a flawed guy who killed a bunch of children, but at least he wasn't a filthy troon. Because he made the Reddit troons angry and was the subject of their hate campaign, he's A-OK in my book, and all of his sins are forgiven." It's hilarious that some people here are attacking Reddit for being a bunch of hiveminded dumbasses, yet have zero critical thinking skills themselves. Those who do, know what a total miserable and insufferable cunt Mikayla was.

Imagine a Dragonball fan accusing people of being feminine.

 

[Just Want 2 Read]

you didn't actually want someone to try and answer your question, you were just trying to get some (yous) right? that's understandable. and this is where you move the goalposts as if any retard stupid enough to give you an answer wouldn't get the same treatment. you animal freaks sure are nasty

Just because you quoted my post doesn't turn your sperg out about Dear Leader into an answer. If you think everyone who calls you a retard for saying retarded shit is an animal fucker, then I'm sure you feel you're surrounded by them.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

peculiar story where everyone involved was mentally ill. Seems there were legit reasons to criticize her and she was not well put together. Still i hope reddit gets fully blamed for killing her, because fuck reddit. No matter who they are against, redditors always worse and deserve to eat shit.

 

[BondoBob]

I mean, so she committed suicide because she was mentally unstable and blamed reddit? That is very neurodivergent for sure. Were they like swatting her, or reporting her to the police or something? Or was it just mean comments on YouTube and reddit?

I think it was a tranny primarily leading the harassment in this case. reddit snark subs are mostly jealous fat women. seriously, check any random profile on a snark sub, you'll see what i mean

 

[Ultra Ping]

I cannot imagine having to care for that many animals without getting severely burned out and feeling trapped in a corner.

There are so many furry / zoophile flags with that OF. Totally inappropriate and and begs a lot of speculation of what circles she was in and the possibility of blackmail that could bring someone to suicide.

 

[TheClappening]

KiwiFarms shit talks, but they do not think they're the "save the day" superheroes and are just there to shitpost.

One of the truly unforgiveable sins on the Farms is cow tipping. Dox them, mock them, talk shit among yourselves, but never touch the cow.

Were they fucking with her business/charity? I've seen nothing but conflicting information on twitter about this beyond the video of a bald guy who looks like a wojak (that I'm assuming is her husband) announcing her death. Predditors are scum, but I don't get why nobody in her life just didn't turn off the computer, especially if she was mentally ill and had an anxiety disorder or whatever.

 

[Karen]

Well, in that case:

If you're reading this Marisa, maybe next time you should report your concerns to the authorities before going on Reddit.

22 years old and already speedrunning fucking up their life royally and faster by being a psychopath rather than fucking up their life by trooning out.

It's a bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off.

Does anyone with Borderline Personality Disorder ever get effective treatment?

I think studies suggest around 50% of them end up recovering/being able to develop functional relationships and regulate their emotions, which strikes me as actually pretty high for a personality disorder. I think because they don't enjoy having it they're incentivized to at least try to get treatment (unlike AvPDs or schizoids who'll avoid fixing it and have much lower success rates as a result).

Not that I'm aware of.

In reality, it was a small snark sub and she clearly had some issues in her own life. But I won't let the truth get in the way of a chance to blame reddit for driving someone to suicide

then the pooner literally nothing to her different than kiwifarms does and you're a hypocrite but go off fam

 

[horseorigin]

Still trying to find evidence that there was a concerted effort made by the people critical of her to try to help the animals in her guardianship that were apparently endangered from her lack of care.

Though the “I’m right no matter what so I get to be as vitriolic as possible” crowd is really making it look more like this was a mentally vulnerable woman who got a shit luck of the draw with an unhinged fanbase that just wanted her dead. Hopefully I’m wrong about it.

This whole thing has been such a wild ride


Confirmed dead now. No more tinfoils about her being alive anymore. The irony,

This was posted on June 20th. She died on the night she ranted to Facebook about self-diagnostics being bullshit and BPD having "the highest suicide rate". She became the 10% of the 70% of people with BPD that attempt it.

It's frustrating that she would post a cry for help like that and tell other people to pay more attention to those with BPD but she was not willing to think about what her suicide would do to her husband, child, and all the pets that had bonded with her; that's where you're supposed to be looking for support, not the Internet. Instead she looked for support on the cold and heartless Internet, then killed herself and left the people who actually cared about her in tears.

 

[Protistology]

Personally, I think it's all the husband's fault. Who the hell would have kids and run a business with a whore with BPD?

 

[AltisticRight]

BPD whore

Kill yourself.
