Although this video focuses on dogs (and other social media outside of Reddit), the mods of CatRescue and many other cat subs on Reddit continue to encounter these scammers from Uganda. This documentary details the extensive social media emotional pleas to donate to injured, sick and starvin dogs. But it happens to cats as well. This commercialization of misery and pet misery porn is meant to get people, such as yourselves to donate. Through out the documentary you'll see that these "shelters" are rented facilities that come with a bunch of sufferin animals so that social media users can pose next to and shill fer your donations.
Donatin to these social media, pet misery pimps never helps the animals to get the vet care or food they need; it only encourages the scammers to continue to injure and prolong the sufferin of these animals.
r/CatRescue has been fendin off the Ugandian scam ring (and other scammers since the mod team took over 6 months ago). Some of these scam-ring accounts also steal media content from real rescues. We have been trackin this particular scam ring and (other individual scammers) and workin with other mod teams to help report and improve detection.
I encourage you all to watch or read the video/article to learn more on how to spot these accounts and also when you do, to report scam and sham posts on Reddit as you see them pop up.
