Why It’s Listed: This account uses extreme footage of injured animals and appears to repost videos from multiple unrelated creators. The people shown across different videos appear to be different individuals, suggesting the content may not belong to a single rescue. A PayPal donation link is provided without any verified rescue information, registered organization details, or transparent intake updates. Google searches for the name lead to multiple unrelated, legitimate “Campbell” animal facilities worldwide, none of which match the TikTok or Instagram accounts connected to this donation link. The associated Instagram page also presents location inconsistencies and lacks credible rescue documentation.

Why It’s Listed: This account reposts videos of donkeys and horses that belong to known creators, presenting them as original rescue footage. No website, donation link, or verifiable rescue information is provided, despite repeated requests for food, medication, and transportation support. The content shows inconsistent locations and animals, suggesting that the videos originate from different sources rather than a single rescue facility. The lack of transparency, original content, or identifiable rescue staff raises concerns about the legitimacy of the account’s claims.
