RIP Thread

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
The county had wanted to shut them down multiple times due to the way they were run in the past it seems.
SaveAFox got taken over by a crypto scam last year. Either they were running some two-bit grift the whole time or they were just well-meaning morons.

No receipts yet, just rumors. Hard to say if the investigation means anything.
 
Mikayla Raines, the woman who ran the Animal Rescue Saveafox just killed herself.

Only third hand info that it had been driven in part by redditors via r/saveafoxsnark which has gone private in light of the suicide, and not much scraped by wayback machine. I guarantee you shit is getting scrubbed.

The main person of interest from that board would be u/Pale-Explanation-709 the main poster on the board. The user has since deleted their account.

Saw this tumblr linked that has some interesting information about some of the potentially dodgy SaF behaviour: https://www.tumblr.com/whats-this-mustelid

So far main comments seem to be about lack of transparency on how/why certain animals died in their care, she let her 3 yo daughter interact with these animals in a way that wasn’t particularly safe, and she was basically an exotic breeder of jackals (unlicensed?), but tried to dress it up as she was breeding them for zoos… without having any existing contact with zoos for placements. While being previously very anti-zoo.

There seems to be a pretty extensive google document tracking their animals and their fate if anyone can download it to archive.

I can see they are already getting some replies telling them to kill themselves for bullying Mikayla when they seem to mostly have just kept track of what SaF was posting themselves.

Never thought she'd pass before Finnegan.
This hurt to read. (:_(
May she get slapped around in hell for this.
She definitely wont be going somewhere pleasant for this. Such an insanely selfish decision to leave your Husband, Animal Rescue, and Child behind. I feel torn because she did seem like a genuinely caring person, but this is just mindboggling.
they often seemed to deliberately purchase baby foxes in rare/attractive colours.
They did seem to focus a bit more on the more exotic and picturesque animals because they would help bring more attention and donations, but its hard to say if she did it for the purpose of getting more attention or if she just liked the prettier animals.

It feels like the reddit is shitting the bed and panicking thinking they may get sued or get some kind of retaliation sent their way. Hoping someone out there archived some of that and it'll eventually find its way here.

The whole situation just feels so preventable on their end, but hindsight is 20/20.
 
I know mental health blah blah blah but I don't give a fuck when helpless children and animals are left behind. May she get slapped around in hell for this.

I hope someone cares for the foxes.
I dunno man, I think I'd rather have somebody who wants to live taking care of others.
Terminally depressed people aren't great caretakers, and they also make for terrible parents.
This could have been the best thing she did for them in a selfish kind of way.

Fucking hell...

I hate seeing honest and goodwill people fucked up like this. I'm a little wrenched about the video I saw where her husband was trying to get through what he had written down and stopped. The last time I was this emotionally tugged was when I watched Steve Wallis (Camping with Steve, a canadian dude who goes out camping in unconventional places and usually gets away with it) like, he had not only lost the love of his life that was his wife, but he also like lost his best friend too a year apart after losing his wife. And that's a man who's really down to earth, someone you could actually buddy with and have a few drinks. It's heartwrenching to see people like that and the impact of this case here, get so fucked up whether it's by random circumstance or planned chaos.

And why am I not surprised the Redditards with their attention-whoring asses, feel the need to play detective? They haven't learned a damn thing since being proven how fucking moronic they were for thinking they solved the Boston Marathon Bombing incident.
 
So, there is a whole hate subreddit devoted to the SaveAFox lady. She died, and they quickly went private.

Their accusation is she wasn’t really rescuing foxes from fur farms, just making YouTube money and encouraging people to buy exotic pets. She had a viral fox named Finnegan, which they saw as proof she was in it for the clout. These weren’t your usual incel reply guys; they actually thought they were helping the animals. Animal rescue folks tend to be hardcore: they’re not just anti-zoo, they’re anti-pet.
I am perpetually reminded everyday that Reddit is one of the worst places on the internet and everything that Reddit does gets blamed on places like the Kiwi Farms makes me realize how most Redditors think their shit don’t think.

It’s absolutely devastating to hear about the loss of one of the people running SaveAFox.

I recently was talking about the channel with a friend of mine and watched Fox vids. It’s devastating to hear this just happened.

Also Total Reddit Death. TRD mfs, TRD.
 
Here's the most comprehensive KF post I could find on saveafox
Seems like it was a bit of a shitshow

Mikayla Raines, the woman who ran the Animal Rescue Saveafox just killed herself.

I'm not an animal activist of any kind, but what I hate the most is rewarding people commit suicide by making them up to be saints and making all the people beefing with them before they killed themselves to be irredeemable assholes, regardless of whether or not their claims held water.

Here's what I dug up on her, you can decide for yourselves whether or not whether or not the redditors had a point and/or were being faggots as usual

Bought new foxes immediately following one's death

Random exotic animals as pets (bought from breeders usually, not rescues)

TLDR; She was your typical bipolar white chick that loved exotic pets. Animals died, for sure, but they probably lived about as good as lives as they would have on the fur farm. Nothing too really notable, but no more of a saint than Joe Exotic.

I think you should re-read all the messages from that thread you linked, she was actually much worse than what you described

i believe the announcement video of her death by her [husband?] may have attributed to that. It's a very hard watch.

Came here after seeing the news about SaveAFox to see if anyone was talking about it.
This might be jarring to read, but no one cares why you showed up to thread.

Your comment without the preamble is fine. Whu ruin it?

Also, you forgot to tell us why you left the thread and where you're headed to next. I won't be able to sleep at night until I know, so please update poste haste 🙄

I'm seeing this weird person appear in communities and spaces that ostensibly are completely and utterly unrelated to animal rescue, entrepreneurship, BPD women, and similar
And everything is coming from the angle of "look at this innocent little female that unalived because some FUCKING BULLIES"
Insane

Remember all those troons who pretended they cared about that faggot troon who jumped off a bridge even though nobody in the troon community noticed for nearly a month?
 
Everyone in this fight is an idiot, but I really hope these reddit dipshits don't go after Lunathepantera next. Leave my Siberian queen alone.
