@@IrieRogue Not saying it was a wild iguana. But that's pretty naive to act like every single wild iguana is in good health. Wild iguanas have to deal with the weather and other predators, and compete for food. It's perfectly natural that a wild iguana could be emaciated...it's called the circle of life. Again, not saying he didn't set the whole thing up. Just saying all wild iguanas aren't stunning or healthy.

I’ve actually taken a real fixed broadhead arrow and the head did go directly through me (upper portion of my deltoid muscle, glad it wasn’t my head) but did not break off. I had pliers and side cutters and could not remove the arrowhead. No fucking way an IGUANA manages to snap off a carbon fibre arrow. Jacob Feder and his accomplices deserve a fucking mechanical broadhead to the base of their skulls.

This is psychopathic behavior. Torturing and inhumanely killing animals. Most likely deriving some amount of joy from it since they continue to do so. And then broadcasting it to the world while casting themselves as the 'good guys' to pad their ego, maybe even attempting to 'fit in' and disguise their acts as not only normal, but moralistic. It worries me that they'll start escalating this behavior unless someone stops them. Thank you for exposing them.

[@WastedTalent-]

That arrow was definately cut off on the other side and not broken. I've been an Archer for many years and I only use carbon fiber arrows. They don't break cleanly at all, it's also really hard to just break one. I had to bend one just about in half for it to break. When they do break, they come apart in strips, like fibers on a bamboo pole, and really jagged edges. They have to be carefully sawn (in the case you need to shorten it) so that it doesn't split. If you don't care about splits, then yeah, a dremel saw wheel will do it. There's no way an iguana broke off the other end running around in the trees or bushes.

These two are fucking monsters. I had the honor of taking care of a rescue iguana for many years. I live in NJ and he wasn’t purchased ethically in the first place but the assholes who had him didn’t take care of him and so he had a large bit of the end of his tail missing and tail paralysis in most of what was left, so he wasn’t releasable. My father and I were lucky to be his caretaker for the last 13 years of his life. I wish we had gotten him sooner, I really wish that he had never been anyones pet. As much I love him and loved having him, he should’ve been left to be a free and wild creature. He was amazing, gorgeous and so very loving. On warm days I would lay out with him in our backyard and he’d crawl up and sun bask laying on my chest and stomach. He had a huge personality and was very loving, when I’d go into his cage he would come right to me, he sought us out when he wanted attention. How someone could take such a magnificent creature and treat it like it’s life has no value is unfathomable. How in the fuck can you spear a python?! A captive one that you planted in a lake?! What kind of sick son of a whore sticks an arrow back into an iguana’s head?! (Not to mention whatever asshole put it there in the first place.) I don’t give a shit if a species is invasive, they are still living creatures and torturing them isn’t in anyway acceptable. Sorry this comment is such a ranting mess, I am just so full of rage and sadness. I would throughly like to punch these little bastards and shut their channels down so they can stop spreading this disgusting shit, making money off of it and making their despicable acts seem interesting to impressionable preteens.

[@slaughterhater]

I just watched Justin Vaughan’s video on exposing Jacob Feder. It’s a good thing I unsubscribed from Jacob’s channel. Jacob also promotes cub petting, which PETA has been very vocal against and he’s gotten most of his animals from ZWF Miami according to a commenter on Justin’s video. And ZWF Miami has been slapped with Animal Welfare Act violations. So the fact that he has ties to a facility who has been targeted by an animal welfare group, Doc Antle and his family, tortured an iguana for views, illegally moved a python for one of his videos instead of euthanizing it like he was supposed to, staged a rabbit “rescue” video and even kept the rabbits outside in a chicken coop despite pleas from Lennon The Bunny that it is not recommended to keep them outside, and staged his tortoise video too that he just posted shows this is a pettuber that will abuse animals just to get views. Jacob has also been known to take videos down if he starts getting back lash. And when I watched Jacob’s tortoise “rescue” video, I paused it and did some detective work, taking a closer look at that tortoise and realized it was a red foot. Jacob breeds and sells Red Footed Tortoises. In the video, his sister Hannah claims they got a call from a family friend that they got this tortoise for their children. The kids started painting the shell. Then they didn’t want it anymore and brought over to Jacob’s parents’ house. That to me sounds kind of fishy. I suspect it is one of Jacob’s adult red foots and he and Hannah took it over the friend’s house, they painted the shell and then acted like they rescued it from a bunch of kids. The fact that he “found” a red footed tortoise when he owns Red Foots seemed fishy to me.

[@bonsaibaby8257]

His sister too!

[@slaughterhater]

I agree. That very well could have been one of Hannah’s tortoises that they chose for the video. They probably took it over to that friend’s house and let the kids paint on its shell knowing full well it was not animal safe paint and then they peel off the paint.

It's disgusting that he is toying with a dying iguana, as obviously the arrow isn't the only thing on its plate. It should have been fighting back but its plethora of health issues meant it was to weak to and just had to withstand mishandling. Obviously it likely hasn't survived. It wouldn't surprise me if he kept it over the course of a few days just for shits & giggles while it suffered, or eventually he put it out of its misery, though I doubt he'd have the capacity to correctly. And the situation with the snakes are infuriating aswell. The way they were used again until demise makes me suspicious if they were even feral ones to begin with, honestly.

Graphite arrows are thin walled and hollow. At the very tip there’s a metal sleeve the arrow head threads into.

[@roadblock99]

Keep doing what you're doing Donny, respect for continuing to call out these clowns despite all the ignorant resistance. Unfortunately a vast majority of the younger generation watching these, Jacob/etc, has little to no empathy and they take ZERO responsibility/refuse to be accountable for anything. That along with how inept their viewers are at critical thinking or forming true thoughts of their own will continue to lead to disgusting videos like this. We need MORE people taking action to shut this type of s*** down.

[@GippyHappy]

It's horrific to watch them touching and grabbing the arrow that is sticking out of this poor animals head! They're not even doing a good job at pretending to actually care for it.

[@thedon219]

I enjoy these videos, I’m not gonna lie I hated them at first but I see why they need to be made! Don’t stop Donny!

[@natasharivera1684]

Just informed my 9 year old daughter, (who wants to be a Veterinarian) about this, thank you fr highlighting another of the big fake rescue channels. My daughter has just gone through mine and her dad's youtube accounts and made sure that we were not subscribed to him.

[@RattlesnakeSolutions]

For every one of these, you should do a video on people you think are doing it the right way. Thanks for doing what you can to clean up the mess of herp-youtube.

[@darcieclements4880]

That would help with the after effects. I love that Donny does this, but I feel sicks for a long time after each video

[@RattlesnakeSolutions]

@@darcieclements4880 These personalities bug the hell out of me. They have no idea how destructive it ultimately is.

[@Asher5250]

Disgusting🤮🤮 😭😭. Animals should never be harmed unnecessarily. If they are going to die be it illness, invasive species, hunting, etc., they should always be treated with respect. The true animals here are these guys and the vet father that doesn't stop his son.

[@snekysneks]

Those people aren't animals; those people are predators, and not the food chain variety.

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

Funny thing is you don’t cut it like that. I always thought his videos were fake,and too set up. Ironically the other guy who was spearing the snakes, changed his KZbin name because he caught so much flak!

[@akgnome]

I hate that there are these kinds of people put there. Love that you put them on blast. Keep rocking it Donny! You are doing great work!

[@_invertico_]

This video shows that not all animal rescue videos are real which makes me super happy.

[@bluepegasus5682]

Let's line these cruel demented people up and use them for target practice. I bet they won't be so keen to push the arrow back in then, or be paraded around in pain for who knows how long. Well done once again Donny and Nerd for exposing these evil creatures!!!🙏🙌

[@IrieRogue]

I've been perpetually imagining the karma I'd like to personally serve them. I may be making a trip to Florida.

[@bluepegasus5682]

@@IrieRogue Same here! Irritates me because I know that these people usually get away with this stuff. If you go to Florida give them a good dunking in a canal as well!! 🌊👍👍

Absolutely disgusting, there has to be some sort of criminal charges that these guys cold face.

[@IntrepidExotics]

So sad the way iguanas and burms are treated as it is without some little punk further torturing animals for a buck, this country has an illness.

[@IrieRogue]

Thank you Donny, for once again exposing the demonic beasts that parade under the guise of humans with compassion. This makes my stomach churn. They're torturing this poor creature as it slowly dies.

[@bluepegasus5682]

Agreed, they're not human. It's absolutely sickening how they treat animals!!

[@WillBlueAnimalTraining]

I dont know how you've gone under MY radar sir, you are currently not sending me video upload notifications and this has to stop. I have to hit the subscription button and bell immediately. Don't let it happen again.

Fucking sick i hate how lax youtube is when it comes animal videos. God this animal was tortured. This evidence honestly needs to be shown to the police

I hate these types of people. They just don't deserve to be anywhere near animals. The fakeness and manipulation is the most frustrating part. NERD thank god for you!

[@Laterbb]

I'm 3 minutes in and im absolutely sick. Anyone who can do this to animals deserves the same amount of jail time if not more than you'd get for harming a human!! If anything you should get worse!! They are helpless.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Finish the video for us 😉

[@masonhill9412]

The saddest part is that's a mainly fatty portion of the iguana so its not deadly persay but still painful

[@caseykahler6827]

It’s funny I noticed that he pushed the arrow back in the iguana on a clip way before you even mentioned it.

[@tasha_111_]

Yet again another great video about these little twerps!! Thanks for calling them out Donny & Nerd!!!!!

[@_corgi_dinosaur_5485]

Do people just not think reptiles feel pain? Yea they don’t feel the full spectrum of emotions that most mammals do but they still deserve respect. I hate people

[@PromisedTriggeringExcalibait]

This needs to be forwarded to the local police. Animal abusers do not deserve to breathe the same air.

[@daniellesmith5692]

I’m so disgusted. Thank you for calling them out. I always thought punishments should be based on the crime - let’s shove an arrow through him & see how much content that generates. People are just sick & horrible - in general. Love you guys, keep up the good work. I’m a New England resident and couldn’t be more proud to have you guys represent us!

[@crystalbainbridge5339]

Look I'm actually glad Donny does this not many out there would call out the truth. Truth and real seems too be hard for people these day's in general! It seems fake and lies are the way too go in this society. There are people that watch and don't pick up on what's really happening in these videos, it's not setting a great example for future social media and humans. Animal's rely on us like a child would and should be treated with respect. Thank's Donny, thank's Kevin. Much respect.

[@kritterkyle]

This video is sickening good on you Donny for calling this shit out, glad somebody is catching on to it!

[@Ash-fd8ww]

They really did ear cleaning and pimple picking ASMR with the dying iguana in the the monetized iguana torturing video. KZbin sure is something.

[@calvinwon5113]

You really hit a point about invasive species that I've always felt. As a wildlife biologist, I'm certainly no stranger to the detriment to habitats caused by invasives. But it really pisses me off when people develop this urge to cause them to suffer, like they somehow deserve to be punished for being an invasive species.

[@LaneyLia]

Exactly. It’s not their fault assholes purchase exotic pets and release them, or let them bread and release babies, or any of the other ways humans introduce invasive species into the environment. Yea, there are times when the animals themselves migrate and cause serious issues, but from what I understand it’s usually PEOPLE that bring them in.

[@Fastestguninthewest594]

Fr. They are simply animals who just so happen to be invasive.

[@kingscroach]

9:02 he totally shoved that piece in again.... and that Iguana looks like it's practically dead by the next day...

[@Gizathecat2]

I watched their channels and realized they were fakes.

[@Mineminemine8]

This is like some kind of sick Munchausen by Proxy with animals.

[@Laarye]

Donnie, I refuse to go to those other channels, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET THE VIEWS. Unfortunately, it sounds like if they get low views, they hurt animals to raise the numbers, but also, if they get views, they just hurt the animals because people are now watching.

[@slaughterhater]

I unsubscribed from both Jacob and Hannah’s videos, and until now, I was unaware that Jacob encouraged his sister to do this too and Jacob has been known to remove videos if he gets pushback from viewers and then abuse animals to raise the number of views because now he’s got viewers. I don’t want to encourage views if they’re abusing animals and using them as props for clicks.

[@johndoe7270]

I am so sick of people abusing and exploiting animals for social media attention.

[@chrisknott6651]

Zak also scalded a live iguana in his sink. These people are sick.

[@kamrongregson420]

Finally a channel with the same amount of empathy and love for animals as I have. I saw a tiktok channel with a girl that takes BABY bunnies and puts them in chicken eggs and FLICKS THE EGGSHELL TO GET THEM OUT. most of them would cry or make really sad noises and it just broke my heart. Love ur channel

[@OdysseyHome-Gaming]

My uni has eels, turtles, and water dragons in the lake campus and I know some colleges would host spear fishing events. It was a serious problem but I don't think students got expelled. ...but one time an rural Chinese (I think) international student caught a duck, killed it, butchered the meat, and cooked it. He got instantly expelled. As part of that expulsion the uni said any more dead eels also counts as an expulsion.

[@snekysneks]

Hunting for meat is completely valid, though. It's so sad he got expelled over that. I doubt many of the other students ate what they killed. At least now the eels are protected too.

[@OdysseyHome-Gaming]

@@snekysneks I'm not sympathetic of the guy because the animals on campus are semi-domesticated. They're wild, but depend on human infrastructure for nesting and foraging. People also like feeding them bread, unfortunately. He just didn't want to pay $20 for a duck at the local supermarket. So I wouldn't call this valid hunting: it's just animal creulty. I'm just surprised that fish and reptile abuse isn't considered as severe as bird and mammal abuse. Took this incident to stop the eel killing. From this video this seems rather universally human.

[@birbsgobrr1619]

@@snekysneks cept with the exception of hunting seasons, ducks are protected by law in Canada and the US under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, you also need a permit to hunt wild birds. In the UK they are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Yes hunting for meat is valid but in Canada, the US, and the UK there is laws in place to prevent birds from being over hunted and poached

[@Mothobius]

@@snekysneks Yeah but killing a duck from a public place is different.

[@jasper1414]

I've seen some of Jacob's videos and I've always thought something was off whenever he "rescued" an animal. Glad I'm not the only one who felt that way.

Don’t make that comparison I would absolutely hunt and eat pretty much any invasive animal, however the ridiculous parading for views and the level of pain and cruelty it went through for the making of these videos is insane and it makes me very irritated that people are dumb enough to follow these youtubers

[@adamasx5303]

[@solid_snek]

For the sake of the argument, assuming he was legit trying to remove the arrow.. Why would he try to saw off the shaft, from the side he pulled it out from? Instead of just pulling by the shaft?! That's some next level stupid.

[@Jamie_McElroy]

I think you’re wonderful for caring about any animal, no matter what it is.

[@cartilagehead]

That arrow was obviously already sawn in half when they “pulled the iguana from the water”. When carbon fiber breaks it splinters and delaminates, it doesn’t snap cleanly in half like a baby carrot

[@bisexualfrenchfry1953]
