Save A Fox Rescue - What it is and why you should care

It isn't just Earth Day that we should care for the earth and its creatures. Saveafox Corporation, founded by Mikayla Raines, is a wonderful rescue that is exemplary in carrying out this mission. Many people are not aware that fur farms are not a thing of the past and, rather, are still very much real today. More specifically, the harm and torment that they inflict on foxes, among other animals, is also very much real and happening as we speak. Saveafox aims to provide not only education on these matters, but actually rescues foxes from fur farms and provides the foxes with the compassion and care that they prior had never known. I had the honor and privilege of visiting Saveafox and speaking with Merri, one of the wonderful staff who cares for the resident foxes. I would appreciate it if you watched the video and listened to Merri's message - it may make you see some of the world quite differently and needs to be heard.
Please recognize the pain that fur farms create. Going further, please understand why fur farms exist. We, everyday people, create demand. When purchasing a fur product, we are supporting this inhumane practice. As long as we provide demand, fur farms will continue to provide the supply. Take the time to understand what our products are derived from and make the active choice to choose those that are ethically sourced. It will literally save lives.
This Earth Day, I hope that you consider making an active choice to help either the planet or its amazing creatures. If you aren't certain of what you can do, perhaps consider donating to Saveafox. The work they do is tremendous and they, and the foxes, deserve so much.
Just a note: this initially started out as an assignment for a class, but soon became something of a passion project. I am an amateur at making videos - in fact, this was essentially my first. The quality may not be superb and editing could be cleaner, but the message within it is so important that I felt the need to share it regardless.
=========
An introduction to Save A Fox Rescue that is far from all-inclusive and can only skim the surface of the amazing work they do. This was a project for an introductory documentary production class with a short timeframe to shoot, put together, and edit the video - so it is a bit rough! Ultimately, I just hope that this does at least a little bit of justice in showing how wonderful SAF is.

Everyone at save a fox are great people. Thank you for posting this 😭

God bless the family who own Save a Fox!!!

[@waynetaylor5227]

here we are in 2021 and fur farms are still legal in MN. when you see videos of Mikayla when she goes to a fur farm to pick out foxes and she has tears in her eyes...

[@achimstrejac6740]

What is a fut farm I've never heard that before

[@dominikaksiazek7177]

@stupid Cat she knows it costs a lot of energy and time and Mikayla alone probably won't change anything either way. I think the politicians' contribution might be necessary. Unfortunately, many of them are corrupted, money hungry... After all, those fur farms generate a solid income.

[@dominikaksiazek7177]

@@achimstrejac6740a fur farm is a place where foxes are bred to earn money on their fur. Poor cuties suffer in a horrible conditions. Many of them have various birth defects caused by inbreeding. You can look it up on KZbin, there're even some vidoes from SaveAFox.

[@GetUnwoke]

That's so sad. We need to get rid of these damn fur farms!

[@ergoone1098]

This was an excellent documentary. I've been watching SaveAFox videos for about a year with interest. These fixes, and one semi-tame wild fox I once met, are delightful -- but not animals I would expect to live in a house or follow human rules. I am so glsd Michaela and her team are doing *something* to undo the damage done by humans who care more for a fur coat than a happy, comfortable, confident fellow creature. :(

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsPals]

God bless you all! 🙏🙏🙏

[@jimschuyler4339]

You give freedom to those lives that were once captive, never be sad at helping a life be happy. Stay happy for a life you save is not necessarily what others might see as a life.

Thank you for the valued message, i think they are wonderful magical beautiful animals and i love them, but i can hardly care for myself never mind another!. Keep up the wonderful fantastic good work and I love the videos you share with us, thank you. ❤🦊

[@melissao643]

I have only made this one :) Please go check out their KZbin page to get updates on all the foxes and what they're up to!

[@jimschuyler4339]

Each life you help is a win, please remember freedom is a blessing and not too many think anything lower than human is worth saving or is life. Rescue organizations help and the employes at the rescue organizations are miracle givers. I hope and pray others can help life.

[@rosaa4630]

I hate seeying animals in those horrible mesh cages they must hurt their feet and to be confined in that small space,they should people in the cages.I love foxes and yes you are right all they want is to live like anyone else but whilst man lives on earth that is never going to happen,but maybe when we’re hit with the plague caused by the millions of rats who live all around us and will increase if not for the foxes,one day man will realise that everything on earth has a role to play here thank you from my heart for taking the time not only to rescue them but to love them like they deserve.x

[@allyssiabrown4227]

I'm getting two and yes I've done my research and I'm fully committed I even made a schedule for my mom and nanny and older sister for when I'm at school but over all and other then that I'm spending my whole summer with them after I get them and as soon as I get home not only my 1 year old puppy but they will also be my first priority in all honesty my heart beats just thinking about it bc being completely committed for 15 years is like having a best friend for life it might be hard but I'm willing to put in the patience and time and give them all my love, I've wanted and admired them for so long since I was a young child and now that I get to have 2 it's like I'm living a dream except it's for real and I cant wait for them to become part of the family sage and obsidian quartz is their name btw (I've done so much research, I do it in my free time I even gave my mom and nanny and older sister tips and wrote it on two pieces of paper front and back along with a schedule front and back that's how committed I am and even more so imma let them pick their own first toy and every Christmas and every bday I'll add it on

[@lizross4844]

This is a great video and great to highlight them, maybe just add a URL link or a link to their own youtube in the description or a jump over to their channel at the end of your video would help too :)

[@melissao643]

good idea! I will add it to the description :)

[@allyssiabrown4227]

Ik this was from months ago but I just wanted to say people are cruel and disrespectful they discust me I hate people who treat foxes or any animal as if they were a toy meant to be broken for God's sake what did they do to deserve all the torture they've received it srsly pisses me off if your gonna get a fox you better know how to take care of one other then that back off and leave them be if you aren't ready for the comentment then dont even attempt to get one the thing is people know what their getting into but they just dont care and will abuse and torture for no damn reason people need to understand to respect and make sure your ready to care, they are a handful from what I've heard but that doesn't mean they wont bring good memories or fun loving times
