Sad but true, as long as they think people won't notice. I worked at a kids location once and we had a couple events raising pupas to butterflies, and baby praying mantis. The company was getting publicity shots and one of our regulars age 3, was asked to hold her palm out flat to hold a baby praying mantis. The child promptly closed her hand and squashed it dead, I'm sure not out of any malice (she was a sweet little girl), I think she just didn't understand the instruction, maybe got confused or overwhelmed with us employees and the photographer. Yea the newspaper still published the picture of the girl with the dead mantis in her hand. What's the difference, right? *sigh*

"Guys it's sleeping lol let's let him sleep" *stops recording "Yup the 69° one this weekend"

@@maribeld84 There is no difference. I am extremely sensitive to seeing dead animals, including insects.

Omg you're a parent who actually moderates what their kids are watching AND doesn't like the abuse shown on there? you're a blessing. most just mindlessly let their kids sit on their devices and watch what they want because they can't be bothered taking care of them.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏You seem like an amazing parent, actually moderating your daughter's viewed content.

I recommend you create a playlist of videos that are safe for her to watch, and thank you for moderating what your child watches, it will benefit her in the future

I think KZfaq doesn't let you make playlists with "made for kids" videos

@@otomodachifan KZfaq does, but KZfaq kids doesn't. At least for the younger age groups.

The "best" part was when the catfish decided it would rather take the risk of drying out in the search for habitable waters than spend one more second in that sad puddle and just left.

As someone who has observed and caught catfish in the wild it’s heartbreaking, some live in deep muddy water, other catfish live in secure pools and hunt toward the bottom. They get massive and need lots of space and food, not a little bin with a bit of water inside and no filter

I feel bad for the catfish in the 1st video. The poor fish fell out because it was so cramped.

@@summerthelammyandliftykinn2186 Depending on the species, it may have left intentionally. Smaller catfish can move on land pretty well for fish, their flat underside allows them to stay upright and push forward using their tail. Some species like the walking catfish have more adaptations to moving on land.

I don't know where those Videos are made but where I live you definitely need a license for keeping animals like that

I feel like the only reason it wasn't attacking the hamster was probably because it wasn't aware of the hamster. I feel like that would've been a whole different video if it had been facing the other way.

Caimans and alligators are in the same family

@@singingwolf8997 it could've also been traumatized or exhausted

Ipad kids life be like 😍

Well as someone who visibly takes on more care of them it can happen if they get dizzy or sick or when people give them too shallow water and when you see that you turn them back IMMEDIATELY since it is well known to create life long trauma to their brain when they survive

@@sunnypeach1328Same! I will FIGHT and ROAR LIKE A TIGER for the animals' wellbeing!!

In most western countries it is a crime but the sentences are a joke at best. In the UK the maximum sentence for animal cruelty is 6 months and a ban on owning animals but usually the abuser gets a fine or community service and the ban is only temporary and easily circumvented. I also think many of these videos are filmed in countries where there are no animal protection laws so there is nothing stopping these people other than the court of public opinion so maybe one day you could be the one who changes that.

@@pinkdiamond1847 thanks it’s my dream

It is a crime depending on the animal

Oh, there are so many messed up things on KZfaq kids that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

KZfaq kids is one of scarier places on the internet

They should take them down for animal abuse

@@lmaobirth1321 Fr, but we all know that isn't going to happen in our lifetimes.

and I hate how youtube takes down Soda’s videos for talking about these awful youtubers who do this

And for some reason it prevents parents from making playlists of content they themselves have screened and know to be appropriate. I understand why comments and targeted ads had to be banned and I can sort of understand the logic in disabling mini player but I can't for the life of me understand why they won't allow "kids" videos to be put into playlists.

@@pinkdiamond1847 I still don´t get the logic behind the miniplayer thing. Why is it disabled?

Playlists were banned because ppl with an unhealthy interest in children were caught sharing playlists & timestamps where kids unknowingly did things they liked. F-cking disgusting but I think the playlist feature should be brought back for content aimed at children which does not feature any child participants.

And let's not forget what they did those goldfishes. Those goldfishes were cramped, and they were literally gasping. It became worst when the dude put more fish in the small area that the goldfishes were in, it only made them even more cramped!

Contact the animal welfare authority in your area

PLEASE READ THIS IS VERY SERIOUS My parents don't do anything with my dog. He's a newfoundland and is a boy named levi. All he does is sit and laydown, eat, sleep and go outside to go to the bathroom. If he moves at all when he is sitting. He gets yelled at or sometimes get told he'll be killed. Its also true that my parents hate levi because imheard my dad say "i hate this dog hes so stupid i dont want him anymore. My dad is much worse then my mom with him. If he doesn't listen, he'd drag him to his grate with so much force, put him in his crate and hit his cage(sometimes)then leaves. I remember once levi didn't listen I think was to like sit or something when he was outside, he didn't listen so he was dragged so hard and he was thrown into his cage. But it was so bad my mom got mad at dad. My brother always laughs because he deosnt understand yet, I tell him its not funny. I also remember levi got his fave pushed into is food bowl for eating when he wasn't sopposed yet (just so you know, levi has to wait like 10 minutes before he could eat, longer then that at night when it's his dinner).the messed up thing is, my brother thinks it's normal and made a pet for a character which is a black dog like levi but a girl and he thinks that dogs only need to eat, sleep, sit and go to the bathroom. I don't wanna tell anyone, in real life but I will tell on the Internet because my parents will never watch these videos.

@@WaterDrinker4444 this is horrible animal cruelty and I’m so sorry for Levi. I don’t know how old you are or if it’s safe for you to tell your parents how you feel, but you should consider telling them what you think, or showing them a video or some reading if you think it could help. If possible, contact the animal welfare authorities in your area and ask them for their advice or file a report.

@@camdendodik3190 thank you for noticing my reply. And I'm 12 and ganna turn 13 in 4 days. I should tell them about it but they probably won't care. But I'll try to tell someone soon

True also soda is so good at informing people on this crud!

@@bye427 Hey!! Yes she is informative but also cool and humorus at the same time!

I feel so bad for the catfish the poor thing must've been stressed it probably didn't even make it that long since the drop looked pretty tall

Them keeping that catfish footage in is extra baffling since, just like the turtle, it just suddenly disappears after its scene

Does removing fish out of the tank with a container help them with stress? Because I’ve been putting my fish into a small separate tank (for about an hour at most) when cleaning the tank. I do it because he’s a telescope and I fear he’ll get ragdolled by me putting water in the tank or if I accidentally scoop him up with the bucket. The idea of my fish being hurt stresses me out.

There should really be a category for animal abuse when it comes to flagging videos.

Tbh I can't help but wonder if there's more going on with that child her parents sound neglectful at best. Though I've seen borderline porn on KZfaq being classified as "for kids" on KZfaq before so.

@@pinkdiamond1847 oh they are shitty, I'm still trying to deal with the trauma that I have from that family, and I haven't seen any of them since 2019, it got really bad and I'm very worried since the older girl had the same behaviour I did at her age b4 I started hurting myself.

Agreed. OR USE TOY ANIMALS MADE OF RUBBER OR SMTH

Doesn't even need to use animals either, I'm pretty sure most people would still watch it even if it was just showing off the stuff they've been making

First time I saw any of their channel I thought it was just a magnet builds channel and I was delighted and bookmarked the video to watch later and wanted to subscribe to their channel. Then i saw they kept putting animals in unsuitable situations and that creeped me out too much to subscribe. Magnets are great, animal abuse is not.

@@HarleyHerbert Yeah I was enjoying it when it was just building cool stuff out of magnet's.

If they are only in it for the monetized views, you could even argue that they'd make MORE money by using fake animals/toys: 1. They wouldn't have to replace toys as often as the real animals who die from abuse, stress, etc. 2. They could set up a store or a sponsorship/affiliate to sell they same type of toys they feature.

"tank"😂

And the fact he saw the turtle on it's back and didn't save it and let it die is infuriating

Axolotls can’t even breathe out of water, so forcing them on land is like putting a human in water and holding their head down.

What??? Do you have a video link for this, because wtf

@@sunnypeach1328 youtube kids channels are a deep disturbing rabbit hole

Wasn’t that cartoon incorporated? The KZfaq channel Mamamax did a video on?

@@embroideredragdoll I don't think that's it? Cartoon incorporated was a whole other can of worms

I think the best thing to do is either tell your parents or explain to her yourself. Depending on the age it’ll probably be a pain to explain since kids loose interest so easily (I have little brothers can’t tell them anything). But I think you might have to tell her that they’re dead. But the better option is to tell your parents.

definitely explain why you don't want her to watch, and how they are hurting and killing these animals. Knowing that animals should be treated with respect and what isn't acceptable conditions for an animal is important. I still have memories of how I brought a few tadpoles from the nearby pond to school to show for kindergarten. It was a small container and I had only meant to bring them for the day and then release them, but the teacher had me keep them at school. I had a bad feeling about it and knew something was wrong, but couldn't articulate it and just trusted the teacher. Every single one of them died and I still feel guilty for bringing them in.

@@callmecharlie4250 WTF is wrong what that teacher? How do you make it to adulthood and make it through at least 2 years of university without realising that animals of all kinds need food to live? I highly doubt that the teacher knew what the tadpoles ate or fed them.

@@callmecharlie4250 hey we've all been on that route too. When I was in Kindergarten I brought my guenia pig sam to school and lookng at it now... wth. guenia pigs are social and also are prone to stress.

You mean Baby Einstein? I think it was proven to be damaging to kids or something like that but it's still probably less damaging than anything on KZfaq kids.

Giving a live rat to a big snake is already abuse, a rat can easily arm that snake for life

@@draalttom844 yea... I'm not a snake person... I will definitely add that as an edit to my comment.. I knew that if you do give rats to big snakes owners have to make sure the rat gets killed quickly and one has to take the rat out if the snake doesn't show interest. As far as I know it's always a bad idea to just leave prey animals in an enclosure without checking that they are spotted, killed and eaten in general... And that is my basic knowledge from watching the occasional reptile video by people like Soda, Snakediscovery, Clint etc. purely for entertainment as I am most likely to get a frog if I'll ever get a pet that's not a mammal.

@@annasstorybox7906 their is not good reason to feed live, it's not like a hunting guear in an enclosure is fun either. So just play with a corpse if you feel it's so important to teach them to snap without warnings

@@draalttom844 yep... As I said, I've heard a lot of controversy about it and think that even properly sized prey can be stressful or could injur a snake... I don't think I will ever get a snake but if I got one I would never ever had the idea to feed it a live animal. I will likely get a frog and I'll feed it live insects with a tong as suggested by suppliers like joshes frogs. Apparently it's not as easy to keep dead insects as nutritious as frozen thawed mice... But I would definitely always make sure that every feeder gets eaten and that there won't be any staying in the enclosure... Depending on the kind of frog I'll get I might even move it into a separate container for feeding...

Farmers/ hunters get punished for making purely educational videos about humanely dispatching animals that are well within animal welfare guidelines whilst this shit gets a pass.

YESSS THAT IS VERY TRUE!!!

@@gellycupcake200 Yas YOU UNDERSTAND 😮

Fr I hate those people bro and the rainbow magnets dont match the color of the area where the animals came from which is unhealthy

**(they) is the kids

eek i hope this doesn’t come off as arguing since I 99% agree with u!! yah it’s generally a super sensitive area and I’m sure it does hurt for some cats. but i don’t think it’s universal that cats experience Pain when their paw pads are touched, it’s probably very irritating for the majority of them tho. I consider myself a cat nerd since I volunteered at a cat shelter for a while and when I was really excited to get my own cat in middle school I read this long research book about cat science and why they act like they do (lol if I can remember the name I’ll find it, its kinda neat) but I’ve never heard anywhere before that it hurts if someone squishes their paws. when the cat shelter was training the volunteers how to pet cats correctly and where not to touch, they just told us that the paws are sensitive and the cat is irritated/annoyed by it. so I think it’s more like a ticklish area than a painful one tbh but it’s still not good to make your cat angry especially for fun, since they can hold grudges lmao. but basically I think it depends on the individual cats and their level of friendliness and touch-sensitivity. I’m lucky enough to have a very chill cat that will let anyone touch her paw pads and stomach, she’ll be happy and purring through Anything except for being picked up. for some reason being lifted/carried in particular is what makes her start kicking and growling lol. but anyways I’m sure the “funny” videos of cats getting angry from having their beans touched are the result of people seeing footage of a few very calm cats like mine who do enjoy or at least tolerate it, and then assuming every cat is supposed to be like that :(

As a kid I was always afraid to touch the toe beans incase they popped.

@@stinky59 nono youre not arguing at all! i just assumed it was painful for most cats. mine dont like it lol

I blame their parents.

I don't blame the kids at all because they won't realise that it's animal abuse it's the parents fault for not doing anything about it or not looking at what you're child is watching

I don't think the kids are aware that it's abuse (let's be real, kids are dumb and ignorant) but the creator and parents should definitely be aware of it

6:15 just wanted to point out that Syrians and dwarf hamsters are two different species, not breeds. That's why they can't breed with each other 🐹❤☺

do whatever you can to make sure he DOESNT watch it. because when he grows up he could quite possibly do the same if he gets a pet. 😢

I recommend the channel snake discovery for kids! Not sure how old your kid is, maybe he’s a little young for their videos but they’re very educational and kid friendly! (And good to watch for all ages)
