Fake rescue content depicts animals in perilous situations abandoned, trapped, or attacked only for the so-called rescuer to stage a dramatic intervention for views and donations.

Often, these animals are intentionally harmed or placed in dangerous circumstances.

Kittens , puppies and young monkeys are predominantly used, presumably due to the availability of these animals and the ease of handling them.

21 per cent of fake rescue creators asked viewers for donations under the guise of helping animals.
