      RUclips doesn't allow feeding videos because it's seen as graphic and animal abuse and it seems only good pet tubers get slammed for it like snake Discovery and goherping and yet these people still have these videos.

      Its also really just stupid, like the stories you hear about people’s swerving off the road or lighting a house on fire cause they found a spider. Like... really? Its not a huge horror monster trying to kill you, if anything a napkin or a can of raid is very effective. (Course, I would try to just get it outside)

    I'm against de-platforming, but they are clearly abusing animals (probably for sexual gratification) and that violates youtube's terms of service, and their channel should be shut down.
    Edit: They ARE in fact violating the youtube TOS. If you find a video that clearly shows animals in distress and suffering for the entertainment (sexual or otherwise) of people, click the three dots next to 'More' under the video, click report, click 'violent or repulsive content' and click 'animal abuse.' You can then fill in the box with information that helps explain the situation, and click 'submit.

    It's always a bad thing to feed your animals with live animals because live animals can cause parasites, infections, and more. It's just not safe.
    This channel is not good, not only does it seem they treat there feeding animals like garbage (The pup scene honestly made me sad, since they're such nice pets to have) but they make these animals seem bad and dangerous (and while they can be, so can every animal) they are inforcing the fear of reptiles and are hurting what so many other reptile channels are trying to fix.
    Snakes are everything to me and to see that snake be in such bad shape makes me cry.

      I agree with everything you said however I find nothing wrong with prekilled and frozen rats and mice for my noodles. The important thing is know that you are getting them from a reputable source and if you thaw them in the fridge like you would with our food you can eliminate most risk. My adult ball python has never had live food and now she doesn't even strike. She just takes it from my hand and swallows. I also think (no scientific evidence) that this cases them to not associate anything alive as a good source reducing the chances of getting bit. In the 12 years I have had her she has not even struck at me once.

    (HUGE tw for animal abuse/vore)
    God I hate JonahVore/The Reptile Channel. It's basically a gateway into IRL vore where people can be like, "animals eat animals in the wild! what's wrong with a snake eating a live animal?", nevermind the fact that a pet snake is not 'in the wild' and neither is trapping an animal to be eaten alive. Even, theoretically, if it was a natural encounter, it doesn't matter when the channel owner has ties to vore sites that get off to animal death. And especially when the Reptile Channel monetizes their abuse.
    Unfortunately, The Reptile Channel is just one of many disgusting irl vore producers, and it's sad when you can look at TRC and go, 'oh, at least an actual animal is eating the other animal and not a human'. Still unexusable but god - one of the websites I lurk in highlights zoosadists and there was recently a post exposing a Discord server that made abhorrent videos similar to TRC but with humans eating small animals. I didn't look at any of the logs (because it had pictures) but the descriptions of abuse happening are sickening.
    I'd best compare TRC as a gateway channel into worse scenarios of abuse, such as when a few months back openly pedophile communities were exposed on RUclips. Much like pedophilia, these snuff videos are spread throughout the community. Videos that cannot be hosted on RUclips (which SHOULD include TRC!) are transferred to more discrete platforms that also share videos, like Telegram.
    It's so disgusting that animals are only seen as objects in the eyes of the law - the majority of people who swallow animals alive as a fetish or like the people involved in the Kero the Wolf drama face minimal legal repercussions for torturing animals. I hate that The Reptile Channel is considered one of the more mild forms of abuse.
    Sorry for my rambling, but this topic really bothers me.
    Edit: I can 100% assure you that the reason they often use pigs is because they are obsessed with large reptiles eating humans, which pigs closely represent.
    Last edit: While NERD's video about TRC also highlighted maltreatment of the animals on the channel (most notably respiratory issues (which for the love of god I hope TRC isn't putting off treating because its troubled breathing creates nice "~maw shots~")), there is also confirmation that JonahVore has force-fed his animals prey.

      I find that it's only okay to feed live if the animal really needs live food. Insectivarous animals are a prime example. They tend to need the stimulation of chasing the insect, or at least need the movement to find it. My beardie wont eat pre-killed crickets. Same can sometimes go for snakes who are still used to live food. Its should only be a NECESSITY, not an OPTION.

    • @StarrNOM
      @StarrNOM 5 лет назад +3

      @@nimbus997 I completely agree; I also have an insectivorous lizard (leopard gecko) who only eats live crickets. The main difference between that and The Reptile Channel is that the creator is 100% confirmed to have a vore fetish and produces live feeding content at the detriment of the animals involved (both the live prey and the predators visibly ill from eating wild-caught prey). One archived callout post about him includes a picture of him force feeding his pet crow a mouse. New England Reptile's video about him notes that his largest snake quite obviously has respiratory issues. With this context, I'd like to think no one would side with TRC.

    My wife and I recently bought a BCI boa from an excellent breeder, but the little guy was raised on live mice and refuses to eat frozen or pre-killed mice. This unfortunately means that I have to feed Ed(my boa) live mice, which I would like to wean him off of as soon as possible. I buy my feeders from Ed's breeder, as he also takes fantastic care of his feeder mice and rats, and I buy them a few at a time. I have an enclosure specifically for them in which I provide them with proper enrichment and a good variety of food. If I'm going to feed them to a snake, the very least I can do for them is give them a comfortable and happy life until their time is up.

    As someone with the particular....interest that the Reptile channel is supposed to cater to, I'm glad to see more people shining a spotlight on them. This is something that should only be in fantasy, not involving real, living animals for the sole purpose of "entertainment." It's cruel and wrong, these animals shouldn't be treated in that way. The fact that they can't even keep the "stars" of their show healthy or seemingly feed them a proper diet speaks volumes, and on top of that to have the gall to pose it as educational is just sickening. All it does is hurt both communities it's trying to appeal to, though the herp community is much more tarnished by their reputation. Hopefully, RUclips can get its shit together and ban this channel for animal cruelty and abuse.

    I 100% agree, that this channel is just to satisfy a fetish. It's just disgusting. In my studies, there are three groups of people when it comes to animals: rights, wellness and exploitation. Rights is like the ASPCA (PETA would be an extreme example of this). Wellness is anyone like you, me, your subs and members of veterinary medicine. Exploitation, are these assholes who run and enjoy Reptile Channel. There's nothing good about them and chances for redemption is minimal. Funny how these damned monsters of people are deemed more acceptable in RUclips's eyes, when the whole purpose of the channel is so obviously focused for a disgusting purpose.

    This puts so much into perspective as to what can be considered a predator. These humans are so vile and predatory and their poor reptiles are so chill, this makes me sick to my stomach. Abusing reptiles by taking advantage of their need to eat, then using that to abuse other live animals???
    I own a snake currently, and I've owned lovely dumbo rats in the past, I have no idea how or why humans would do any of this.

      He’s not really. 99% of the people complaining about him have never been to his facility. I have twice.

      I've always loved that channel until a few years ago when I started to study herpitoligy(I probably spelled that wrong) and noticed a lot of things wrong how he takes care of the animals

    When you showed the clip on how you could hear the snake with the respiratory infection breath, I noticed how it barely gave constant tongue flicks- which is pretty unnatural for snakes.

    The footage and stories from those videos are definitely fabricated and staged, just to put on a show. Their videos seem so unprofessional and just,,, wanting to show off how DANGEROUS and OO SCARY reptiles are rather than try to actually teach people more about these animals and what they do, how they live, how to care for them, etc

    That's so sad. That poor snake! That definitely didn't look like any snake yawn I'm familiar with, and I've been handling danger noodles since elementary school.
    Thanks for not showing any of the graphic stuff! I really liked this video!

    I used to think that the anaconda feeding was normal, because you had to give them live prey (some snakes r picky). But now I see. Thx

    Hey I ve been watching you now for a few weeks and I wanted to thank you for being one of very little people that talk about this serious overlooked topic. I really enjoy your videos since they are straight to the point. Not about peoples drama in their personal life but it is really about the care and animal, animal abuse.

    There was a dude a while back called reptiles uncaged, don't know if he's still around cuz I haven't watched him in years, but he legit just had a room in his house full of loose lizards snakes a mice.
    he started off relatively fine just keeping small stuff like anoles but as he got more views he stared going off the rails and get like tortoise and shit like that. Then when someone made a video calling him out he just did a reaction video saying that dude was jealous. Idk if it's still up but I'd be interesting to see your opinion on his channel
