No, the videographer is legitimately following a story of a run over animal, he’s just not saying he did the maiming on purpose.
The ones I feel 100% safe in opening are the ones by Hope for Paws. Others may be legit, but unless and until I know for sure, I don’t click on them.

Youtube has my number as an easy mark for those when going to a link from FR. But I am going cold turkey after seeing one that was apparently staged and quite disturbing. How many? We’ll never know, I suppose.
You are correct.
Always assume a video is faked or at least staged, and that goes for major television talk shows, too.
It’s all phony.
It’s no coincidence that most of them are created in Eastern Europe and include tear-jerking pleas for precious, much-needed funds so they can continue their compassionate work saving precious feral animals’ precious lives. Just look at the fear and longing in that mangy kitten’s eyes. Please help us to continue on our selfless mission, wealthy Westerner! Click the donate button below.
I’m a fan of “Animal in Crisis,” a Youtube series out of South Korea that mostly deals with cat rescues. I’m certain that all of those videos are for real.
You also need to check out where exactly the donated money is spent. BLM isn’t the only “501c3” where the “officers” of the organization live in mansions. Sometimes the money “for the animals” gets siphoned off into may strange places -— you might be shocked. Best bet is to only donate to local groups where you can actually walk in and see what’s going on. Speaking from 40+ years of animal welfare experience.
The tv ads showing dogs needing rescue. I know they are fake and the dogs were probably put to death shortly after filming.
Then there is the poor people in russia / eastern europe commercials. I wonder if they were put to death after filming?....
Stupid people send money and not a dog or poor person is ever helped.
