Depending on where these guys are, wouldn't what they're doing be considered illegal? Like, they're essentially releasing non-native fish, amphibians, and reptiles into the wild. Sure, their intention is to catch them, but what if they don't or can't? I know red eared sliders and goldfish can be hella invasive and really mess up ecosystems. I know laws aren't the same everywhere, but I'm curious what could be done legally to them.
It is illegal, due to the fact that releasing a non native animal into a ecosystem can upset the balance.
It is very illegal. The problem is proving that they were the ones who released them
I hope some people change what they are doing is wrong
Well. It's more complicated than that. Lots of country disregard fish's rights. And some don't even have any kind of animal rights (That's often where those kind of videos came from)
On the ecosystem aspect. I don't know enough to say. Though it would totally be illegal in most country, maybe all, idk if it'll be applied seriously everywhere.
@@Hadeshy and even in countries where it is taken seriously it is difficult to prove they were the ones who released the fish. A video showing them “catching” them isn’t enough proof because they can argue that they found the fish there after someone else released them
"its fine they'll regenerate"
thats like saying "it's ok for me to break your arm, it'll eventually heal anyway" f those people
Its just heartbreaking that people out there exist like this.
Yes.. it really is.. 😢
@@SpiceTriesToAnimate who would've thought? an actual axolotl commented on this video!/j
Yes... I am the axolotl
Me and my goldfish butta spam hate comments on that channel
Yes
People that do this either are usually aware of their actions, but they always keep them up as people don’t know its animal cruelty. I remember seeing a video where an axolotl “hatched” out of a chicken egg, and it was horrific.
How👁👄👁
THEY ARE MAMALS AND FULLY AQUATIC ANIMALS D:
@@breadsforlife They’re amphibians, and it’s faked
@@wrendrawsstuff6403 ik its faked
@@breadsforlife Oops, meant to reply with that part to the person above you 😅
It's really is heartbreaking seeing how some people treat animals! My mum's thinking of getting two axolotls and I've been doing lots of research to make sure that they're happy in their home!
You have a responsible mum, definitely like people like that
Very cool you’re getting axolotl’s, mate. I especially love love Olms, and I’d like to have one, but it’s illegal to own them as pets according to my state laws… they’re also found in European caves, so I wouldn’t be able to get one anyways, even if it was legal to get them.
Hope you enjoy the derpy aquatic salamanders :D
yea i heard sumtimes that they eat the axolotls that those bozos caught
@@OhsweetOhno thank you! It sucks that you aren't able to get the cute little things!
I really hope you and your axolotls have happy lives! have this smile of luck ---> :D
i feel so bad for these fish and axolotls ( i just saw the turtle D: ) that that have to go through this :( but always thank you for making these videos soda ^^
She does such a good job describing why things are abuse and better ideas for them (I’m not talking about this video I’m talking about all but) I’m happy we have people trying to educate others and especially children
@@tinykqi._.7798 ikr!
Hi
I love how she just educates ppl about animals. Underrated!
Fun facts [not!] about lake Xochimilco:
- Was used as a dumpsite for the rubble from the 85's Mexico City earthquake.
- There are lots of irregular settlements that throw their waste directly into the lake.
- This site is famous for its flower cultivation [and some veggies], so they use a lot of pesticides that went directly to the lake.
- Some of the Mexico city sewage that is poorly treated is dumped into the lake too.
- In 1890ish was introduced water lily cause; "pretty flower looks cool". Now is a plague that damages the ecosystem.
- SOME STUPID POLITICIANS THAT STILL ARE IN IMPORTANT POSITIONS INTRODUCED MF CARP AND TILAPIA TO CLEAR THE WATER LILY AND ALGO TO GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO FISH. The locals hate those fishes cause they are not tasty, they are small and they do not sell well and... THEY ATE EVERYTHING, INCLUDING AXOLOTL EGGS AND JUVENILES. There are approximately 900 tons of undesirable fish living in the lake.
- Scientific studies have pointed out all the problems on time, but people in power simply don't care. They just want poor people's votes. That is why settlements and cultivation sites are not regulated.
- But no worries, we have now a 50 pesos bill with a cute little axolotl on it, that will do it for the little guys!
And... yeah. The lake is an ecological disaster because politics take decisions with their asses.
Sad
People are just frustratingly stupid sometimes
Sometimes human stupidity goes too far
Demented ceiling fans and politics really do go toghether
Funny thing is I hear in a lot of areas carp is eaten a lot
It must be a really hard job to have to watch and talk about all this horrific stuff but your doing a really great thing by spreading awareness about it it honestly needs to stop.
Especially considering she knows that ass hats who support this stuff will harass her and try to get her to do terrible things to herself, for simply telling the truth. She has my respect, not just for speading awareness, but also for handling sm hate and toxicity, because she knows it's the right thing to do
Absolutely love how polite you are to your bird! Thank you for making videos that expose dangerous profiles and for educating us!
Sadly this is another form of Content Farm a lot of these creators of these accounts live in Impoverished areas so this is how they make money and most of these accounts are located in areas like Thailand, Philippines, Asia, India where there's not that many laws regarding animals
Correction re. Philippines: we do have laws protecting wildlife, but people are rarely aware of them. Even some police forces are unfamiliar with these laws, making arrests difficult. We are trying our best to correct this, but it has been a SLOW process.
Can we just admire how nice her art style is? It's adorable!
since when does she draw in this video 😆
@@bernicegordon6787 At the end for her outro.
I wish these people could just step outside of their own life and perspective-
Step out and see the harm they’re causing. That’s the only way these people will realize what’s wrong with their actions.
this is truly disgusting. I am getting an Ackie monitor for my very first monitor, and reptile, and i wouldnt dream of letting any harm coming to it or my fish or my friends axolotl (im axositting) or even my cat and im so thankful that you are covering this. thank you Soda ❤️
"It's fine to make your axolotl lose its leg, cause it can grow it back!"
Ok, then it's fine to make your child brake their leg, cause they can heal it in a hospital!
Ikr
pretty sure animals and humans are not the same but whatever floats ur boat:)
@@wimpynab humans are animals
@@wimpynab and?
@@wimpynab wooooosh
So annoying that these ppl who breed these wonderful creatures are so cruel. And then there are so many gullible ppl who support these videos.
Discovered your channel yesterday. You seem very normal and not pretentious in front of the camera (unlike other you tubers). I subscribed. 😊
Very sad. I also see people only buying Axolotls specifically because now they’re “aesthetic” or, “trendy”; and doing so they buy them carelessly; not knowing how much care and how fragile they are. Causing them too be unprepared, causing the axolotl too get sick, Etc… also, the Merch is just adorable! Love it. But yes, take care of your animals people!!
Hey my father just saw you at the mall about an hour ago and your videos are super amazing and helpful
He was so nice! Thanks for supporting my channel! ❤️❤️
These make me so angry.. it's very disgusting.. how people think this is okay in anyway shape or form
This comment needs more likes
@@guineapigs3050 aw, thank you
Good night! ❤
This comment needs like’s Because it has zero likes
The sad part isn’t just the suffering for these few minutes, but also the fact that most of these animals probably died
I have 3 axolotls and it's so easy to tell who really does and doesn't care for there axolotls :(
All 3 of my axolotls are really healthy with big vibrant feelers 😀its so sad when you see axolotls with unproper care and love, some people just treat them so bad!!
axolotls are the best bois and they deserve respect
MEGA RESPECT
Mhm along with the plecos
@@Concavinator and bettas
@@LotusAndGlitch oh yea, bettas deserve better care
I kinda hate the fact that axolotls are more well known animals now in a way, now that demand for them increases shitty care, neglect and exploiting the animals for monetary gain of that makes sense? I wish they were still kind of in the exotic underground animal care which minimalized such a risk. They were already populated domestically to begin with so the wild population wasnt much different. Obviously there was still abuse and neglect but not as rampant as it is now, i spent a solid year looking for a trustworthy breeder to get my boy, chimichaunga but now you can see them in petco in a 10 gal and barley alive. Im open to hearing other perspectives but im just sharing my thoughts
Thank you so much for posting awareness soda! I’m a owner of axolotls and seeing this video is every term for “disgusting” in a thesaurus. I have a total soft spot for axolotls and to think that there going extinct and people are doing this makes my stomach hurt is absolutely sickening.
okay but that moment of "I love animals, they're so cool" after your turtle getting into nasty stuff is legit how I feel about my dog and his trash eating antics (he's fine, just loves to find "treasures" on the street the moment I take my eyes off him).
Thank you for spreading animal awareness I never knew these things were bad I thought they were cute and it’s fine but you proved me wrong and many other people to
These people are awful! How could someone do this to poor helpless fish for clout. Thanks for getting it out there that it's fake & for everyone to report them because it literally is animal abuse. Love your work Soda!
It's sick that some people really can't think of anything else to do than abuse animals for money. And it's even worse that they're hiding under masks of "saving" the animals and not hurting them and are getting support from tons of people.
Everyone go to videos with fake axolotl stuff say to them they can’t be caught in wild and that they live here, Lake Xochimilco
The axolotl is native only to Lake Xochimilco in the Valley of Mexico, as well as the canals and waterways of Mexico City. Because they're neotenic, their habitat reflects this: a high-altitude body of water. This is unique to axolotls, with other salamanders having a much wider distribution, also I only know this stuff because I used to live there and have a pet axolotl
But why give them views ? Just straight report them
Comments will only boost their visibility in the algorithm, it's better not to engage with them in any other way than to report them. Dislikes and comments, even negative ones, will just help them gain more traffic or get removed or ignored. Reporting videos with animal abuse is really the only way we can try to curb their reach.
I came across one of those videos and didn’t know what to report it as. There should really be an animal abuse option
Yes. I saw that video (The first video Soda showed) too. I reported it, but I do not remember for what. (I didn't watch it; I just saw that it existed)
"hateful or abusive content" or "harmful or dangerous acts"?
just report it for terrorism!
@@TechTchnofor some reason it’s a subcategory of dangerous or repulsive acts (or something like that)
Edit: violent or repulsive content
I understand why you wouldn't want to own glow fish because they're genetically modified, but literally every other animal is genetically modified that we have, whether or not its through a syringe or inbreeding like crazy, the gold fish in your tank don't look like carp anymore for a reason...
There's a difference between genetic modification and selective breeding though. Like they literally added DNA from a different animal to the glow fish to make it glow. They didn't just breed fish until they glowed
@Haily Johnson It doesn't hurt the fish, due to this very specific form of "breeding", there won't be side effects, due to having to do selective breeding for just one trait, they are very pretty and if released they are released they will likely die within the first generation.
Compare this to normal breeding, where the animals do very often suffer from the trait itself and there is always side effects, when breeding, because you don't select for health, but short heads and so on, mostly disregarding other traits to a degree (I'm kind of exaggerating. Good breeders will still keep health in mind, but there will always be "that guy".).
Genetic engineering is the breeding of the future, where we can actually completely stop making pets suffer. We can make it so they are unable to reproduce without human assistance, which will be a blessing on nature.
Also, the process used is just as natural if not moreso than selective breeding. They found this happening in nature. You won't find selective breeding in nature, where there is pressure to lose your snout (for instance) and become unable to give birth without cesarean (French Bulldogs).
@@JuMiKu I would hope it doesn't hurt the fish. I will admit that although I have an idea of how the process works, I know very little about how it affects the health of the animal that is genetically modified. I'm personally kind of uncomfortable with that. But I agree that selective breeding can be very harmful too. Bulldogs and pugs have horrible health conditions, and it's really sad. I think it can be done with care though, and only breeding healthy animals (who have had genetic testing to make sure they aren't passing on serious health issues) together for a specific trait. This bothers me less than literally altering DNA. But if it doesn't hurt them, I'm less bothered by altering DNA than I am about harmful selective breeding, if that makes sense. I'm not a fan of it, but I prefer healthy selective breeding first, but I also hate harmful selective breeding such as how bulldogs can barely breathe and have to give birth via cesarean
@@hailyjohnson407 I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't think you understand any of this as well as you think you do.
Selective breeding is inherently more harmful than precise and careful genetic modification, especially for the individual. The DNA is changed in both cases. Hell, the DNA always changes, even if you just let nature take its course.
I'll try to explain very shortly. If you do selective breeding, you basically put two animals together and hope for the best. You go on breeding those, who fit certain criteria, inevitably going for a certain percentage of inbreeding to achieve your goal, because the number of viable candidates with the correct blood types and traits is usually not as big as you might think. At some point you will encounter genetic defects. Sooner or later you can usually test for them, so future generations will hopefully not have them, but that just tightens your bottleneck of viable partners for a while, because you only want healthy, tested partners (and many don't immediately do the new tests, because they are darn expensive and your animals may no longer be viable for breeding, if they fail). This causes, you guessed it, more genetic defects, that crop up later. Maybe, just maybe you might end up with a completely perfect breed at some point. (You won't, because there is no perfect organism, but just for the sake of argument...) This perfect animal sits on a pile of suffering, because genetic testing always only happens after we have found a problem with a number of individuals.
Genetic engineering doesn't need that. You need a certain trait and you give an animal that trait, when it is just a bunch of cells. Could this be used to cause suffering? Hell yes, but surprisingly almost all big genetic engineering projects have been for the betterment of mankind, if you believe it or not. Do you know what these glofish were invented for? To try to create fish that shines in the presence of water pollution. The aquarium glofish is a byproduct of that. They were *not* created to be children's toys or anything like that.
Genetic modification can allow farmers to use less pesticides on their crops, allow for less suffering in meat-production and yes, less suffering in pet-breeding. We just all need to get off our high horses and stop being afraid of things, we don't quite get.
Edit: The last part was directed at myself as much as anyone else. I was extremely and fundamentally against genetic engineering. I felt right and smart, because that is the view of pretty much any environmentalist group out there. Well, just because many say something doesn't make it right and I feel really foolish. You are already a big step farther along then I was not that long ago.
@@JuMiKu I appreciate you being respectful and explaining it more. I do suppose that my dislike of genetic modification does come from a general lack of knowledge of the risks and benefits. I will be honest and admit that I don't have the time to devote to researching and understanding it either, so I don't believe my education on it will be improving much any time soon. But I appreciate you not treating me like I'm stupid or talking down to me. I do know a little about it, but honestly not much other than knowing that crops have been genetically enhanced with various animal DNA in order to be more resistant to cold or droughts or fungal infections, which are great, but it does worry me about what could go wrong as a result of this. That's really interesting that the intention with glowfish was to detect water pollution instead of just looking cool. I do love to learn new things, so thank you for taking the time to share this with me. I will do my best in the future to not hold/express negative views on things I'm not well educated on. The idea of genetic modification is both fascinating but also uncomfortable to me, but I hope I will have time in the future to widen my knowledge on it.
It literally just makes me so sick to see axolotl especially treated the way these channels do. Some of the most amazing and important animals on the verge of total extinction, being abused for views. 🤪🤪
I fully agree is so sickening to watch this stuff. Being an owner of axolotls I have a totally soft spot for them and this just crushes me, can’t believe people do this.
😔
Ahhhhhhh the axolotl’s slime coats are being damaged the stupidity ahhhhh help
Fact: Axolotls are endangered
I know it’s so sad 😭
I forgot about this comment-
wow I'm one of the first comments....... reminder to eat, drink and perform self care! your doing great and I'm so proud of you and how far you've come!
What if I dont
💖💖 take care of yourself too kind stranger!
@@ibrahimzonbia155 I can't do much if you don't it's just a reminder for those who need the motivation or confidence boost
Wow. I'm actually going through a pretty rough time in my life, and this comment really made me smile. Thank you
@@reaganlaurel6688 it's okay! take care if yourself whatever your going through I believe in you! you can do this.
The best experience with axolotls for me was once I was at a animal sanctuary, and there was a tank with axolotls in it. I had asked an employee why they looked so sick and unwell, and he told me they found a axolotl breeding farm, where the people there didn’t care about the axolotls. They shut down the entire place, and the few axolotls left were the ones that hadn’t found a new home. It made me so happy to know that there are kind hearted people who care. The axolotls were very cute too :D
these fake channels are like people who punch someone and are surprised to get punched back. they also probably look in and out before crossing the street.
10:02 perfectly cut scream lol
I got one of gate on my recommended a few days ago, it’s really sad. Instantly knew it was fake from the amount of fish in the thumbnail and the fact that axolotls, and the other things they had in the title aren’t even meant to be in the same environment. Gonna get the new merch for my birthday :D
i randomly found your channel, love it so far, watching this HURTs. while I have zero knowledge in fish but you can tell how fake it is. fish don't even move.
It just makes my blood boil seeing people out there abusing fish and Axolotls just for views.
It’s heartbreaking to see how many people don’t treat small animals (mostly fish and rodents) like they aren’t animals. People treat them like things, and the worst part is they know it’s wrong. They just don’t care.
I demand a 2-hour compilation of Yuki saying “hey guys it’s soda here and welcome back to another video”.
It is necessary for my continued survival.
Not sure if your checking these still, but I'm a new sub, was planning to buy a axolotl but was so nervous and after listening to some of your videos explaining what people do wrong I've decided to fully go with it!
I remember watching some animal rescue videos where they had actually badly hurt the animal before hand and had beat it up to make it look like they were saving it.
I have in axolotl wild type she laid eggs they hatched some are golden
I DONT like how your channel doesn’t get enough love….
This makes me sick..
I’ve reported several of this channels’ videos for animal abuse in the past but have never been able to report the channel itself. I hope if more people report them then maybe something can get done
Nothing ever seems to happen to these channels
Love the content but you actually got the part about glowfish wrong! They were created for environmental research, originally, not for decoration.
The long term goal was to create the animals as bio-indicators of certain toxins in the water. They were supposed to glow in the presence of pollutants, but instead just ended up as florescent fish that glowed all the time. While they weren’t immediately useful for the research goals, they obviously took off in the pet market.
Also, goldfish are genetically modified too. All domestic fish are. Selective breeding is just the method used. There is no reason to *inherently* fear any genetically modified organism on the basis of it being genetically modified. It’s the way it’s been altered that counts.
The start is ✨
The merch looks so cute :)) gotta get one when I get a chance
This is heartbreaking
Thank you so much Soda Pets for this! This is so educating!
One question I really need help on:
At are local park in the Summer time when even when we first moved in to our state our local park has these really big pretty Koi fish and turtles and frogs. The frogs and turtles obviously were not dumbed ( Maybe the turtles???) but the Koi fish after seeing this video might be. The Koi fish have been there for maybe 5 years now. What do you think??? Did the park maybe put the Koi in on purpose so people would enjoy feeding them and seeing them? A ton of people around the park feed them fish food and bread! Let me know!!
I’m glad you’re making this.
Me : Casually rescues 2 axolotls and now has 4.
Also Me: Omg rushing to the vet taking exrays okay he’s fine
The plecko part could be real as they can love in near anything
I feel so bad for all the animals they take and do that too 💔 whoever do that is messed up
I feel bad for the kids who will watch this shit, eat it up, and just think it's OK because they saw someone on UA-cam do it
I can confirm i have koi and goldfish they speed boi very hard to catch
I have no idea why people think that content that has to do with animals being bought the thrown in some dirty lakes then as we could see this is mostly for children so that is not okay I hope UA-cam does something
I'm a child and I know a lot better than to believe this rubbish that these animal abusers are posting.
@@Hannnify well that’s good
“Wild type axolotls” bro why does that sound like a type of Pokémon
Yes, glo-fish are so unnatural unlike the goldfish that has the most natural, not artificial, gold colors and their bubbly head and bopping eyes
Like I said they’re not exactly natural either lol,and I don’t support the breeding of lots of types of goldfish (which is why a lot of mine are rescues)
The Yuki merch is adorable, I’ll def be snagging something soon 👀
My toes are literally curling watching this.. even if I pretend I have no idea what's going on.. what we're looking is clearly so very wrong you can feel it in your stomach .. how people can view this as entertainment is totally beyond me! 9mins in and my empathic self is out! ... p.s. love your vids Soda please keep shaming the nation!! and telling us all what's what your a legend 💞
It wouldn’t surprise me if the people in these videos would fake a “Finding leopard geckos and bearded dragons in the wild!!!!” video.
check out all the weird pacman frog videos, just look up pacman frog and the weird videos will pop up quick.
I love how she keeps making teh pacu joke
I thought the dog rescues were real, but then I found the truth of them a year after
I hate videos like those... so horrible! Thanks for bringing us awareness! As someone who lives in the southern areas of the US, we commonly find red eared sliders in our pond.
There are thousands of these channels whom are reposting and doing other suspicious stuff and it makes me wonder if some of them are just bots
im ashamed i have to share air with these people
Unrelated but I just brought home my first birds and they started calling back to yours while I was watching this😂
I'm crying inside
I love axolotls and just seeing this stuff happening really makes me sad:(.
its shocking people can get away with this
Actually glo fish were made with the intent to test waterways for impurities due to the fact the colors would change based on impurities but then they became neon
if you want your hope restored in humanity a great animal channel is Kitten lady. She does a lot of great fostering work and educational videos. While she primarily fosters kiteen especially really young kittens neonates and has mostly cat content she also fosters dog and pigs.
I don't know if any of you are aware, but they have Glo Bettas now. I used to work at a petsmart, and a common problem is that they have cataracts. Some of them are just straight up blind. They also have other problems, but the cataracts are the most severe. I hate Glo Fish. So much.
I have heard some larger koi can cost about $5k, but they're bigger than the ones shown here, so these ones are probably still a $1k or so, would be my guess.
My petshop bought comets bred in my large out door pond and the babies look More like wild fish than goldfish
If i was axolotl in the first one i would run out of the boat thing
Tofu was just mad at the video, that’s why he paused it
Makes me wonder how many they are losing to. So not only are they hurting the animals but potentially the environment too if the animals get loose. Which is what leads to these dumb bills getting passed that hurt the rest of us responsible pet owners (not to mention actually harming th environment!!!!!).
Love ur hair
I was one of the people that sent you this channel thanks for looking at it.
I still think of the time I said axo's are sensitive to their water conditions and someone said "no they're not they're really resilient" Yeah? Just tatting on your animal abuse so openly?
This hurts
U should watch Jacob Feders video "breeding 1000's of goldfish in pool" he's bree ding feeder fish and ...... yeah........
Omg turtles are my favorite animal i LOVE them❤ i wish i had a turtle
Omg I haven't watched ur channel in so long I can FINNALY wach ur vids yay yay yay
Omg I didn't expect you to make a video on this
Given that the movie Dolphin Kick clearly shows a captive dolphin, and a message about getting the captive dolphin back to its pod (that would in reality be far away and the dolphin estranged from it), I think knowledge about what constitutes an animal's "real environment" often isn't that great in general. And we as a whole often have limited knowledge of how well, and in what way, creatures adapt (like you can't know whether the reason an animal eats only one food is because they are a picky eater or because they can only digest that one thing until you see if the animal is capable of digesting and consuming a different food source, and if the reason isn't the animal being a picky eater it is too late for the species).
Reported their channel. Absolutely disgusting what they're doing.
The fish aren't expensive in these countries. These are even more likely done by people who work on fish farms.
i cant continue watching this im sorry.. gah!!! Thanks for doing these videos
Just a friendly reminder axolotls aren't actually endangered, in the wild they are, but in captivity it isn't.
As a happy fish owner this makes me want to throw up D:
Super sad video. The pacu joke made me laugh though. Some much needed comic relief
I bet it's some nature loving kids watching these vids, not realizing this is fake
