It’s getting worse and worse. It should not be our duty to monitor every single post made by ignorant people for likes and views. This responsibility belongs to all social media platforms, yet there are still no proper policies against animal and wildlife abuse. I have reported many of these videos and accounts, especially on @YouTube, but none of them were removed and because all of these platforms are fueled by engagement, they continue to turn a blind eye to this destruction and cruelty. I condemn this with deep disappointment.
