Too soon for this meme format.
For those who don't know, the woman petting the fox committed suicide a few days ago. She had ran a fox rescue farm and saved 4000 foxes, many of which were rescued from being bred for fur in inhumane conditions.
She passed away after years of harassment and accusations of abuse for 'not doing enough'. Redditors were piling on her in a hate sub and that was one of the final nails in the coffin. People criticized her for not hiring more staff to help or expanding her operations.
This was her life's work. She was autistic, and funneled every bit of dedication into saving as many as she could. She had a special bond with her foxes and a way of speaking to them that brings out their giggles. Not everyone can do that, and with Mikaela's passing, her foxes will now have to make it through without her.
That looks like Finnegan fox :(
RIP Mikayla Raines
Father always said I had no confidence — so I became a geneticist where I would fit right in.
fr though look at the fox
I'm waiting for geneticists to figure out how to turn me into a domesticated fox.
Geneticists are like AI devs IMO. Sitting on the cutting edge of human capabilities, hoping to make the world a better place, while careening humanity into an even worse dystopia.
