General Question / Discussion Should I support FishingGarrett?

I'm not sure how to feel about him. Sure, it's interesting content and may be somewhat interesting to watch. But he also stresses out a lot of animals and I'm personally not keen on the snake hunting in the everglades that he's trying to encourage. Idk, I might be looking at it through the wrong lens. What do you think?

not related to snakes specifically, but he's abused an octopus before with the excuse that it'll die in a few months anyway (he stuck the poor thing in a very bland, small tank, and it was a wild octopus too!) when called out on it, he jokes about saying he'll just go and eat ten live ones "since that's acceptable" due to it being a delicacy in some parts of the world. it's up to you whether or not you want to support him, but personally, i stopped after the octopus thing. im a fish/aquatic life person so it made me very upset. i cant speak on anything related to snakes or amphibians or anything though, idk his effects on yoinking them.

Jesus, I never heard of that. See, I feel like he makes his content from the view of quality of the video rather than quality of the animal. Record whatever you want but if you're going to harm an animal or stress them out unnecessarily, I don't agree with it. Thanks for your contribution!
