I came across a YouTube short of a monkey being “saved” and opened the account. There are many more videos like it, and it looks like one of those fake rescue channels where the animal is harmed before the video starts

If you go into the comments on the recent shorts you can see people talking about the problem.

The only reporting options I had were harassment and bullying, privacy, impersonation, violent threat, child endangerment, hate speech against protected group, spam and scams.

This channel should be shut down. Given that these channels are an ongoing problem, shouldn’t it be easier to report them? Is there a different place I should be looking?

    You probably want to report the person to authorities, not the video to YouTube.

      Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out where the video was from, or who the creator might be. Others are welcome to try though and it’s possible I missed details
