Ep. 74: The Truth Behind the Screen

Get Out Alive: An Animal Attack Podcast

What's really going on behind the scenes in all those 'cute' videos of people interacting with their pet jaguars, tigers, leopards, and bears? Can people really get that kind of social media content without ever being injured? And are the animals really taken care of?
In Part 1 of this episode, I sit down with wildlife ecologist and science communicator Sophiane Nacer (@HonkIfURHoary) to go over the extensive research she did on Single Vision Inc., the 'organization' behind the popular TikTok accounts SingleVision and SafariSammie. We go over some of the abuse going on behind the scenes, and in Part 2 (which is available now on Patreon) we go over some criminal charges lingering over the organization and some deaths caused by a very similar 'organization'.
